What I liked, didn’t, and still wanna do!
Over the last few weeks I’ve had a lot of non-sewing time which I just couldn’t tolerate. To pacify myself, I spent my spare time reading sewing blogs – a lot of them had their roundups of last year. It made me think about what I liked, didn’t, and still wanna do with my sewing. So…

It’s DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER! And I’m So Pleased!
It’s done! And I’m so pleased! For a while now, I have been eyeballing this outfit from Marina Hoermanseder. I just had to have it! Of course, it’s not my style to wear short shorts to work, so instead I opted for the longer look of wide pants, or culottes. Here’s Marina Hoermanseder’s ORIGINAL…

It really is BLACK!
Honestly, why is BLACK so difficult to photograph? It must just suck in all the light around it!

I thought my blue pair was my favourite – best fitting and lovely fabric. Those…

Two of the “Oldest UFOs” in the World!
Yes, I promised you. Here is it. A while ago, I bought two jacket patterns and some lovely red polyester knit, not too stretchy, and a green embossed polyester. At least I think they are polyester – I can’t even remember where or when I bought them, let alone anything else about them. But I…

The Good News … and the Bad News.
The Good News … I’m feeling better, even though my nose doesn’t. I felt good enough to spend most of this weekend sewing. Yippee! You might remember, I left off with the slash pockets being completed on my third pair of pants (out of the four I want to make for myself). Gotta love that RTW…

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…
