I took Cal Patch’s pattern drafting class and made a couple of tops and a couple of dresses with patterns made from it a couple of years ago. I was really excited for Cal’s Pattern Drafting with Knits class, but have only just found the time to bust out the sewing machine again, since last year … Continue reading
I sew one skirt and decide I need to sew my wardrobe. I guess that’s how it goes! At least I have a little while to get things together before Me Made May. I have purchased a couple of pairs of shorts for this spring and summer, but I’m hopeful that I can sew much … Continue reading
I haven’t sewn anything in a really long time. I don’t know why, I just haven’t found the time and rhythm to get it done lately. A few weeks ago I cut out the pieces for my Everyday Skirt. Christina had it on her “to make” list and I liked one that Jess made, so … Continue reading
I know it’s been all sewing all the time around here, lately. I have been doing some knitting and other crafting which I’m going to try to share this week, but all of this sewing has gotten me thinking about challenging myself in some new ways. There are a couple of projects I’ve watched with … Continue reading
Okay, so the tank isn’t really 70’s at all, but the collar fabric reminds me of the 70’s so there you go. I finished my first garment from my pattern that I made using what I’ve learned in Cal Patch’s Pattern Drafting class on Creativebug. The fabric is some I’ve had in the stash for … Continue reading
Math is not my strong suit, and I knew that drafting my own sewing pattern would involve math, so I wasn’t sure I’d be able to follow along with Cal Patch’s Pattern Drafting class. But, she makes it really easy! I made my pattern when the class first came out, but I just got around … Continue reading
When I saw the Endless Summer Tunic pattern, I knew I wanted to make it, and it looked like an easy enough place for me to start with making some garments for myself. I’ve made shirts for the boys, and halloween costumes for them, but I haven’t succeeded at sewing myself anything that I actually wear. … Continue reading
It all started when I was looking at Pinterest with the five year old looking over my shoulder. He saw these monsters and thought they were so great. I had been trying to decide what to suggest that he do for his classmates for Valentine’s Day. He has a small class this year, so I … Continue reading
We’ve done advent calendars with activities or treats before, but this year we are doing one with activities and treats each day for C1. We are using the advent calendar that I made years ago – and you can tell my sewing skills have improved since I made it – but I just finished adding … Continue reading
I’ve decided to revive this space, I miss recording my little adventures, no matter how insignificant! I’ve probably spent more time quilting this year than on any of my other crafty pursuits. I don’t have much to show for it, but I did finish one quilt and one top, so far. The quilt that I … Continue reading
