Finished … is it a Success?
I thought I would show you what I have been up to this past week. I have finally finished my black cardigan, McCall’s M7055. A McCall’s “Learn to Sew for Fun” pattern. When I opened the pattern envelope, I was surprised to find it was nothing but a CIRCLE with sleeves!

I’m still here!
No, I haven’t run off to join the circus. Yes, life has gotten a little busy right now but it’s interesting that during all the commotion, I am still dreaming of my sewing projects – past, present and future! What am I (still) working on? My McCall’s M7055. I am hoping it will look great…

McCall’s “Learn to Sew for Fun”
Perhaps you remember? I wanted to make a shrug to match this dress… Then my eyes fell on this cardigan. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened the pattern envelope and found out it was a circle with sleeves. I have seen these patterns on Pinterest (for free). This is going to be easy!…

So lucky me, Miss Bossy was surprisingly kind and told me I had…

Me-Made-May’14 (2nd post)
To recap my first MMMay’14 post, so far, missing in my hand made wardrobe and now on the “To Do” list is … jeans. Let’s see what is next then, shall we? Monday, May 5 – I wore a cardigan over my summer top and pants because the office always has cold spots in it. (I…

My quick fix and I am really happy with it!
Yesterday’s post resulted in a lovely blue cardigan, McCall’s M6802 ….. that needed some improvement. The pattern instructions suggest to leave the bottom and collar edge rough or to hem the bottom and collar edge up as usual. The problem with that is the bottom hem continues up into the collar hem, which then…
