I can’t tell you how much I enjoy the easy portability of knitting! This weekend we have been doing potty training boot camp with Mr. T and it’s been EXHAUSTING! So, when he went down for his naps or for bed time, I didn’t really want to pull out a whole sewing project like I…
I’m so excited to pass on to you this photo of Haley, the youngest member of our sewing day, in her finished skirt! Didn’t she do an amazing job!?! I only had one sewing session this weekend, but I got all my Lady Grey wool pieces serged and managed to practice the bound buttonhole: I…
I am SO excited to be able to rip one of the papers off my book ring this weekend! The firetruck jammies are DONE and when I showed them to my son, he immediately wanted to put them on, so of course, mom couldn’t be happier. Not surprising, the shirt is too wide and too…
Now that T’s costume is done, I’ve been able to return to work on my Lady Grey. Though desperately behind on the sew-a-long, I find it to actually be a blessing because I can see all the issues I may face in the future and be more prepared for them. In other words, the other…
Generously enough, the little man has passed on his head cold to me. And boy, is it fun! (not) After taking the day off from all things sewing (except for a few rows of knitting) on Saturday, my type-A personality forced me into the sewing room Sunday afternoon to finish the buttons/buttonholes on lil T’s…
Well, the sewing-T’s-costume-on-my-lunch plan is working. I just have the sleeves to add and I’m done! Finito! And early, I might add. Thanks to my friend at Rebecca’s Rags for submitting this idea after I posted the project sans sleeves on Facebook: “you could leave it sleeveless and he could be ‘Bakersfield Woody’;)” LOL. I think…
Thanks to all my friends who came to sewing day this last Saturday! We had some old friends come and some new friends (one of which really impressed me – Hailey aged 12!). If you can believe it, we didn’t take a single picture! FOR SHAME! Though none of us really finished, everyone made really…
Well, the scarf I showed you last post doesn’t exist anymore. It was unraveled, and unraveled, and unraveled again and after re-starting a 4th time, I finally feel good about it. It’s not perfect, but for my first project, it’s now something I can be proud of (at least the first few rows, so far…
Well, now that Self Stitched September is over, I’ve been tying up some loose ends. I finished some jean repairs for my step dad, got some quilt squares ready for a secret project, and I’ve cut out a small coin purse I promised to a friend weeks ago. Today I got a zipper so I…
So I made it! Through 30 days of mostly self-stitched clothing!! I can hardly believe it. As with all our clothing, I definitely found I gravitated toward some items more than others and didn’t even wear one dress. So that dress will find a new home and that’s okay. Here I had my chance to…
