A Sewaholic Hollyburn… and the Evils of having a Fabric Stash!
It’s Indie Pattern Month at the Monthly Stitch. As is my tradition, this is the month that I dive into the Indie Patterns that I have collected over the last year. I have always wanted to try Sewaholic’s Hollyburn skirt but was always looking for the right fabric. Me Made May showed me that I do not have…

Still “sitting on the fence”!
Last week I came to a grinding halt sewing up my First Vintage Pattern. You can read about it here, if you like. It’s a McCall’s 7238 from 1980. I wanted to use a special fabric for this special dress. After all, the last time this pattern was used it was to make my sister’s…

I’m “sitting on the fence” with this one… (and my #mmmay15 final post)

One down, one to go!
Well this isn’t going to be a long post (good news for you, huh?). But I just wanted to show you my finished black jeans. As you probably know, I have been watching Angela Wolf’s Craftsy course, Sewing Designer Jeans, and Sandra Betzina’s Craftsy course, Pant Fitting Techniques. I used Sandra Betzina’s Vogue pattern V2948…

Coming along nicely! Sort of…
There has been a lot of sitting around this weekend, watching movies and the drizzling rain, and snacking. Not really heavy rain, but that rain that makes you think “Do I need an umbrella or not?” I have been staring at my sewing projects too, perhaps waiting for them to magically put themselves together. That hasn’t happened yet.…
