Take Online Sewing Classes on Skillshare!
So I wondered aloud to you in the last post about what route I was going to take with the Lady Grey sew-a-long: Go easy or add in all the tailoring techniques and subsequent supplies. Well, in typical type A personality form, I have now ordered all the necessary and optional supplies to take the…
I’ve made it to the HALFWAY POINT!!! And with only 2 non-self-stitched items (RTW Jeans on Day 11 and a RTW Shirt on Day 12). I’m pretty proud of that, but I must say I had an emotional moment the night before Day 15 and wanted to scrap it all, or at least part way….
Ahhhhhh….MOPS! Yesterday was our first meeting and it was so great to be back! I even received several daily blog reading confessions from a few moms – Thanks to all my closet readers! You make my day! To those of you unfamiliar with MOPS, it stands for “Mothers Of PreschoolerS” and if you’re a mom…
While looking at the pictures I had taken for yesterday, I couldn’t help but sing a song from my son’s kids song cd, “Let’s all go to the library, we’ll have so much fun!” Someday I’ll remember what music I used to listen to… Anyway, you’ve seen all this before but not in this combination….
Sunday means we’re teaching Sunday School again, but this time there weren’t eight 2 year old boys. There were 10 boys & girls all at various stages of potty training (or not), which made me terribly nervous! lol. Fortunately there were no accidents! I was quite comfy in my pleated Simplicity 4703 skirt, a ready…
Well I only made it 8 days from my Day 3 statement of SSS purity before falling off the bandwagon. It all started at 5:15 yesterday morning when I decided to go to the grocery store…since I was up! (Thanks little T, eesh!)I needed to make it home by 7 for hubby to go to…
Yesterday was a looooooooooooong day. I was up super early and wanted something easy to wear. I chose my flared denim skirt (Simplicity 5914) and my (non) Maternity Wrap Top from Megan Nielson and, of course, my white camisole refashion underneath. I have to admit, I should probably have used a lighter weight denim or…
1 week down, 3 more to go (roughly)! Yesterday I was extra self-stitched. I’ve REALLY needed to get back to the gym, what with all this sewing going on, my mind has been elsewhere. So I got up EARLY and wore my favorite self-stitched running top in hot pink and black. I got the fuchsia…
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,…
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…
