Take Online Sewing Classes on Skillshare!
Well…I’m feeling a little bit of a fizzle. I started my commitment to Self Stitched September with excitement and anticipation and a big stack of fabric. I had a plan and a checklist, separated by type of garment. I’ve knocked several items off that list and added some to it but I’m getting weary. I recently…
Though it was not originally in my SSS plans, I’ve added this week to my wardrobe this cute top from Simplicity 2892. You see, I had planned a sewing day/class for my friends who were interested in learning to sew or just wanted some sewing company, and this was the project I recommended. I thought…
I don’t know about you, but I love an A+. If I make something yummy or clean the house really well or do just about anything, I’ll ask my husband coyly, “A+?” 🙂 Of course he’ll oblige. If, however I had to grade my blogging overall, I might give myself a D-. It’s not an…
Well, I felt very accomplished for fixing my Spring (non)Ruffled Top and it’s really cute. I wore it over the weekend and realized how accustomed to wearing knits I’ve become!

I had a really productive weekend for Self Stitched September – made some shorts AND a top! HOWEVER…look at the project picture of the Spring Ruffle Top here: Sew Mama Sew tutorial: Spring Ruffle Top And see my Spring (non) Ruffle Top below: Now, it looks okay enough, sorta from the front, but the problem comes…
I, Jaime, sign up as a participant of Self-Stitched-September. I endeavour to wear mostly handmade and refashioned item(s) of clothing (at minimum the main articles of clothing) every day for the duration of September 2010. Ok, there, I’ve committed! lol. As many of you know, I’ve stopped taking on custom work and alterations and taking…
Though this has been an idea in my head since I started nearing the end of my “Must-do” sewing list, a recent blog I found reinforced the thought that I should write-up a sewing to-do list or top 10 projects for this new phase in my sewing. I know that in most other aspects of…
