Well, yesterday was Labor Day and it was quite a day! We spent the first part of the morning in the garden. The spring vegetable plants were done with whatever they had given us and were starting to die so it was time to clear out the garden. I was wearing my half Self-Stitched jammies,…
So Yesterday was our first day teaching 2 year old Sunday School at church. We have done it in the past, but it’s been two years or so. We had 8 boys so it was very….er….uh….energetic. Haha. But thankfully everyone did really well so we feel confident about going back next week. Since I was…
Well here is Burda7829 in all its glory. The dress was really comfortable to wear and my husband even liked it! Double bonus!! The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we had a great time eating Chinese food and picking out what frosting to go on our cupcake at the cupcake bar!! The groom even mentioned…
Yesterday I got the biggest compliment. My son goes to preschool on the same campus where I work so his teachers were all aware of my participation in SSS. Yesterday I wore my denim shorts and Simplicity top and when I walked in to pick him up, one of the teachers said, “I thought this…
Well, today is casual day at work, which usually means jeans. However, when the temps are in the 100’s, like they are the next few days, we always sneak in shorts…shhhhhh…don’t tell. This works out as I do not have jeans made up yet! Some participants are not as hard core about it, but I…
Before I show you today’s outfit, I wanted to give you the link to the official Self-Stitched September Participant list! (Thanks Zoe!) Also, she has set up a flickr group for SSS which you can visit here! Such a source of inspiration from 160 people around the world!! Today I’m wearing my brown floral dress…
Here we go! I’m starting Self-Stitched September with my Alice & Olivia pants, since I haven’t worn them yet, and my Yellow Sadie. I also made the white camisole underneath from a $2 t-shirt I got at CVS! Since I knew I’d be making most of my clothes, I bought some fun shoes. Today I…
Well, it’s come; it’s finally here! I’m amazed at what I’ve accomplished and excited to finish a few more things to help make Self-Stitched September more comfortable (i.e. more PANTS! lol). I will now officially change my sidebar from “I plan to participate in Self Stitched September” to “I am participating in Self Stitched September”….
I DID IT!!! I made pants! Pants I actually will want to wear!! I will not have to face Self Stitched September with only skirts!!I know this fabric photographs grey, but it has a blue-grey denim look to it. And I know it’s not every sewer’s first choice, but it is a flowy linen blend….
Well, I fell in love with the Alice & Olivia pants pattern (Vogue 2907), but as it turns out, these are going to take some work to get just right. I made a muslin of the pattern with no alterations – just to see what I had to work with. The waistline was perfect in…
