Part 2 of #canadiancapsulechallenge @couturious
Whoo Hoo! I finished a garment in my #canadiancapsulechallenge @couturious. If you would like to read Part 1, it is right here! My plan is to add to this “casual” capsule in some new-to-me colours! I need to add one pair of pants, one tee and two cardigans or hoodies (haven’t decided yet!) 🙂 But…

#canadiancapsulechallenge @couturious
I’ve been working on it! As with any sewing challenge, I start and I finish … well I finish maybe 6 months after the deadline! 🙂 It seems like at the beginning and the middle of the year I get in a kind of a “spring cleaning” kind of mood. Everything in the house sitting…

Choosing the Right Knit Fabrics for Yoga Pants?
Yes! I am doing quite well this year, so far! Part of my #makenine2019 challenge was some casual yoga-type pants. This seemed to become more urgent on the list, as I wore out most of my yoga pants during 2020 – the year of “Casual Wear”. As usual, I didn’t use the pattern I first…

What do you think?
We had a lovely Easter long weekend here – the weather was even acceptable! I hope you had a lovely Easter too. I didn’t get much accomplished though, but I did manage to browse through some sewing blogs and IG feeds. I discovered @rocco.sienna @sewsarahsmith and @sewing_in_spain have organized #sewtogetherforsummer on IG again! I think…

McCall’s M7323 – In Stripes!
I’ve had this striped fabric in my stash since my visit to my sister a summer or two ago. It’s a heavier weight knit than what I usually have and I quite like it. The red stripe is quite bright too, which brings the grey, blue and black to life for me. I had always…
