Three (almost three) Out of Four Done!
Let me explain… This past week our household was hit with the worst “COLD” in its history. It started with our Daughter, then Me, then Mr. Green Thumb. It hasn’t hit our Son yet, but Heaven help us if he gets it as he is in the middle of a University term and can’t afford…

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…

The “Snake skin”.
… or “What I did on my summer vacation (Part I)”. I managed to get in a bit of sewing while on vacation. I finished the third skirt of my Sister’s Sewing Projects. I offered to sew up for my sister three skirts and three dresses AND the dress she is going to be wearing to…

Picasso’s flowers.
This is my second garment in my Sister’s Sewing Projects. A skirt we call Picasso’s flowers. When you plan on making three skirts and four dresses for you sister, you better be really organized – patterns, fabrics, notions, etc. – so from the start we gave all the fabrics names. Now although this 100% polyester…
