A little bit of this and a little bit of that…
I usually find lots of sewing time on the weekends, tucked between chores and errands and spending time with my family. Last weekend was a busy one though, with not much sewing time. Instead, it was a fun weekend in Vancouver with my sister, who would like me to sew a MOG (Mother of the Groom)…

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle … Refashion? (and my #mmmay15)
In preparing for Me-Made-May’15, I discovered a few things when cleaning up my closet a few weeks ago. Such as: I still have the shoes that I wore to my wedding almost 27 years ago in a box in my closet. I find that amazing for some reason. I put them back safely. I have…

ALL DONE!
Seriously! MY. JEANS. ARE. ALL. DONE! I haven’t had too much trouble finishing them off and I love the look and fit of the cotton lycra fabric. I pieced them together with these patterns: Vogue V2948 and Vogue V8774, along with watching these Craftsy courses: Angela Wolf’s Sewing Designer Jeans and Sandra Betzina’s Pant Fitting…

That hasn’t happened yet.…

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…

Any suggestions?
I confess. I made another trip to Vancouver and my favourite fabric shop. And, yes, I bought more fabric! (But it was soo soo fun!) I plan on working on my pants sloper soon and then jeans after that. I bought this 96% cotton/4% lycra with just a little bit of stretch for my jeans……
