    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.…

    I (heart) RED!!

    The Monthly Stitch Challenge in February was “Miss Bossy” telling us what solid colour we must sew up.  Miss Bossy’s commands for me were:  yellow (which makes me look like the walking dead!), blue (which I love), or RED (which I really love).  So lucky me, Miss Bossy was surprisingly kind and told me I had…

    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…

    It’s not that bad, I’ve seen UFO’s older than this …

    … my UnFinished Object is only from April!  I found it and two others when I was cleaning up my pattern and fabric stash! I’m surprised I never finished this shirt right away as I love this fabric!  Then again, I am glad I didn’t finish it right away as by the time I did…
