Now that’s HOT!
We are completely lacking in energy here. The temperature hit 32 C (89 F) today. Not a common thing for us! The whole family just lounged around waiting for the cooling fan to rotate towards them. Needless to say, after a long work week and today’s heat nothing much has been accomplished. But I did…

ALL DONE!
Seriously! MY. JEANS. ARE. ALL. DONE! I haven’t had too much trouble finishing them off and I love the look and fit of the cotton lycra fabric. I pieced them together with these patterns: Vogue V2948 and Vogue V8774, along with watching these Craftsy courses: Angela Wolf’s Sewing Designer Jeans and Sandra Betzina’s Pant Fitting…

Under Construction…
… my blog that is, not my sewing! I apparently am using a “retired” theme, not that WordPress doesn’t allow that, but I am still finding that some of my features are not working as I would like. So, I am going to take a tiny break, choose a new theme, and switch from THIS to…

One down, one to go!

That hasn’t happened yet….

I have been following a Craftsy course, “Sewing Designer Jeans” with Angela Wolf and using bits and pieces of a couple of patterns, Vogue V2948 and Vogue V8774….

It’s distressing.
Let me tell you what I have been doing off and on for the last couple of months… Way back, way, way back in the beginning of December, I started a Craftsy course, “Sewing Designer Jeans” with Angela Wolf. I enjoyed the course and was excited to start my own jeans. I had in my pattern…

More studying! … Pants Fitting Shell …
I know, it’s been a long project! In October I made my Bodice Fitting Shell and in January I made my Skirt Fitting Shell. Finally, I have finished my Pants Fitting Shell. Like before, again I had the help of a Craftsy course – this time Pants Fitting Techniques by Sandra Betzina and her Vogue Pattern…
