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 […]
I know…so exciting! I am like most people, I think, where underwear is the last thing you think about replacing…and the most often worn. I have had the same batch I bought from Victoria’s Secret at least 8 years ago, and they were in not great shape. Add to the fact that my butt is […]
Before Christmas I had cut out several projects out of leather of my hip bag pattern. I didn’t really have recipients in mind until I got around to making them up, so these were the last two I sewed up for my aunt and sister…both for their birthdays. We don’t give Christmas presents to adults […]
My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – Sewing – I made this top, which received a ton of likes and comments in the Facebook groups. I haven’t gotten a lot of comments (or any) lately, so it was nice to get some love for something I drafted and made. It’s funny that I got […]
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 […]
This was a fun and quick sew for Fabric Anthropology that I just had to get a Dany wig for the photos! This is the Dothraki panel with a black cuddle minky that I picked up at Joann’s, I think. All you do is serge them together, leaving an 8 inch opening. Turn right sides […]
I will have to get on those “2018 wrap up” posts, but I am so behind in just posting everything in general. I will sit down next week after the 1st and work on getting caught up on everything. For now…I have a purse! This is my boxy purse that I made taller, so I […]
I spent some time cutting up a bunch of leather and had enough to make four of my small purses. I got two of them finished up, and think that I can successfully put together a tutorial on them. Just as soon as I figure out how to get the pattern pieces into Illustrator. These […]
I have been wanting to make this scarf for all of this year, so I decided to finally make it this past week. I knew it would be a bit slapdash to make it. The waterfall nature of the scarf with varying lengths just look like you start cutting and see what happens. Which is […]
