and the winner is!
I just took a break from my mending. Yes this weekend it is mending – boring! – to write all your names from last week’s Give away post on pieces of paper, put them all in a hat (actually a bowl that had two cookies in it previously and now holds nothing but folded names and crumbs)…

I have proper photos … and a Give Away!
Perhaps you remember my “Sister’s Sewing Projects“, so far I have made three skirts. I have a Mother of the Groom dress half-finished and three other dresses to cut out yet – the Mother of the Groom dress is the most important, obviously! I want to share with you the proper “model” photos of my…

Betcha by Golly ya thought it was gonna be about a UFO!
You know how it is. You finish a garment and there is something that is not quite right about it. So you put it aside for later… and there it sits. Two weeks ago, I posted about my finished blue pants. The only problem is that I sewed the invisible zipper in too close and…

Two of the “Oldest UFOs” in the World!

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…

DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER!
I cannot believe that, so far, I have not only survived my first year of my “RTW Fast”, but have also enjoyed finding the holes in my wardrobe and filling them up. I am even considering doing the RTW Fast again next year! 🙂 But then again, I was never a keen clothes shopper. I…
