Progress? So far – Two out of Four! (and the DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER Challenge button’s up!)
I am making progress! I have needed new pants in my wardrobe for a while now, but since I signed up for the RTW Challenge last January, I have refused to purchase any. There has been a lot of sewing this year – thoughtful sewing! To start the pants-making process, I made my muslin, and…

Picasso’s flowers.
This is my second garment in my Sister’s Sewing Projects. A skirt we call Picasso’s flowers. When you plan on making three skirts and four dresses for you sister, you better be really organized – patterns, fabrics, notions, etc. – so from the start we gave all the fabrics names. Now although this 100% polyester…

The Clark Gable
Hello! This is the first of my “Sister’s Sewing Projects”. In the past, I haven’t named the clothes I made, but each of the garments in this project has definitely earned a name. I remember going through the fabric shops with my sister. We spent hours holding up bolts of fabric, wrinkling them, matching them with others, dragging…
