Just needed to get something off my mind, and I figured I might as well post it here. If you aren’t into the personal melodrama type blogging you can skip down a few paragraphs and read about sewing… But, first, a bit of a personal ramble: Have you ever knowingly made a stupid decision? I … More Random Thoughts and Anecdotes
So, right now I sort of have a few sewing project going, but because of this nothing really seems to be getting produced. So I will break this post down by project to see what is up: (1) Skating Costumes To be fair, this past week has been fairly busy in terms of skating events. … More Sewing Progress, Or Complete Lack Thereof
Even though I am working on skating costumes, and I expect I will keep working on skating costumes for the next few weeks, I can’t help but think about all the other projects I am wanting to sew when I am done, and what I want to do next for my year-long sewing challenge. Mostly, … More Button Down Shirt Version 1.0 and Other Things
This weekend I have been doing a lot of (ugly) skating muslins in leftover floral print lycra, the utter hideousness of which would render my lovely readers blind, I am sure. And I have been toying with some gloves, but they are too tight and my fingers are too long, so I might post a … More Another Practice Dress
So, it might seem like I have been sewing up a storm, but really I just happened to have a lot of projects that finished around the same time. This post is sort of a rambling look at what is going on with my sewing plans… (1) Firstly, I have finished another skating practice dress. … More Sewing Update – Finished Items and What’s Up Next
The raincoat is practically done (I still need to finish the lining hems – I am doing those by hand so there are lots of TV watching plans for the rest of the week…) and I should be posting my review within the week. In the meantime I was able to sew up the muslin … More Burda Dress Muslin and Some More Fabric
I only got around to posting the coat update yesterday, but I actually got a bit further along than I thought I would (sick again… means more sewing time). Now that my raincoat project is nearing completion (need to finish facings, linings, buttons, etc), I am starting to think about what my next few projects … More Sewing Challenge – Planning the Next Phase
Alright, so I thought I would post an update on the progress of things for my 2012 sewing challenge. I finished the muslin for the Burda pants, and the fit was pretty good. I have decided I don’t like the patch pockets – they are too stiff and make the pants pucker funny around my … More Sewing Challenge Update
Though I have been finishing up a few projects from last year, I have been super excited to start my year-long sewing plan for 2012, and I have been debating which projects I should do first. Ever since the magazine was published, I have been dying to make the October BurdaStyle pants: BS-10-2011-127 So I … More Starting the Sewing Challenge
The past few weeks haven’t been the most productive in terms of sewing – first I had to relocate the machines, then holiday festivities were keeping my busy, and lastly I accidentally broke my serger blade on a pin, which has put quite a stopper in my productivity this past week since all of my … More Sewing Update
