Musings and projects of an amateur seamstress. While I was in Japan I picked up this great red polka dot fabric. It has a nice bit of stretch which I thought would make it perfect for the Colette Clover. I made those in February in the height of GBSB fever and while I love them, I resolved that the second time round I would take my time.

Faith, family, and creativity. Simple shapes are, for me, the most satisifying means of making garments, as you will have seen in earlier projects. Sometimes it feels good to have a straightforward project to work on. For me, top-down sweaters.

A record of my sewing in 2016. The Merchant and Mills Factory dress hack. Linda of Nice dress! On A Barrie fest. On Vogue 8689 take 3. On Vogue 8689 take 3. Linda of Nice dress! On Morgan Boyfriend Jeans. You need to start a production line. I bought some 4 way stretch jersey from Raysitch.

Never too old to learn new tricks. A mistake by any other name. I notice that I never want to write or talk about the things that went wrong. This one is in a lighter fabric.

Dad joined cult; Mum taught me to knit. And knit things that were actually functional pieces of fabric rather than unintentionally scalloped dishrags. I ran out of time and begged my mama to seam it up for me. I have just realised I am capable of. Knitting and walking at the same time. Yarn forward, comrades! 8220;Home-alon.

These pajamas took me about a month to completely finish but collectively only several hours. I had to do significantly less seam ripping this time! It helps if you actually read the instructions. I used Cotton Steel fabric from their Cat Lady collection. Called Kitten Mittens in navy and the Lakeside Pajamas.

So, I got really excited when Red of Sew Red-y nominated me for a sewing recognition award. Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog. The Long Awaited Méilot Shirt. The Long Awaited Méilot Shirt.
