Seams right!
Progress has been made on the two pairs of jeans I have been making. If you missed the first steps, you can read about them in my post here. 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.

So I guess if you lose your voice, it’s time to write a blog post?
Lying here on the couch, watching TV and reading other blogs, fighting off my cold with hot chicken soup, hot tea and a chocolate bar (a recommended cure, honestly!), I have decided I might as well write up one of my own on what I put together last week. Perhaps you remember my sister, Bon-Bons &…

Diving into knits! Part Two
Back on schedule again! Perhaps some of you remember my other “Diving into knits” post? I have been using McCall’s 4261. I sewed up my red T shirt, it was such an easy pattern to put together, but I think now it might be too nice to workout in! Now on to my blue yoga…
