My “burrito” experience – Part 2
I promised you photos of my finished Sewaholic Nicola. I was lucky! The weather was pretty good today and I was able to model it outside! Perhaps you remember from my previous post a few of the details… I used a cotton/Tencel fabric, similar to jean fabric but much lighter and “glossier”. I found…

My “burrito” experience.
I have pretty much finished my cotton/Tencel Sewaholic Nicola – after sewing on the last of my buttons the only thing left for me to do (seriously) is take photos. That’s it!

My “little trip”.
Yes, I went on a little trip – let me tell you how it was… IT WAS A BLAST!! I went to a fashion show, specifically Vancouver Fashion Week. My first! My sister J.A.M.

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!…
