Another sweatshirt dress – AC inspired

By on January 28, 2019

The 52 Week Sewing Challenge for this week was Sew Something Red. I already sewed up some underwear with some red in the fabric, but I wanted to do this, as well.

For the 52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 3, the challenge was to sew a pattern you owned but had not sewn up yet.  I had downloaded the free Bell Town Vest from Straight Stitch Designs at least a year ago.  It was also the pattern I had planned to use for my furry vest […]

I made some more underwear, and took out pretty much all of my scraps to try to find my little gems hidden away.  My sewing room was a mess. I was running out my lace elastic, so I had to make do.  I cut some of my thicker lace down the middle for some of […]

Reflecting on 2018

By on January 1, 2019

Well, it was a year. The year started out with Meniscus knee surgery for my daughter and a shoulder surgery for my grandma.  This was followed up by new floors (finally), which led to a leak in our furnace and valves needing to be replaced due to jack-hammering of tile above it.  That same week […]
