A UFO – not lost, but found!
Last weekend I attacked with renewed energy one of the UFOs I found when I was analyzing my #MMMay2018 results and inventorying my fabric. (Found? First I would have to I admit it was lost! Never!) I had previously made a Designer me-made Copy of a GAP tank top for my sister with a beautiful…

My sister’s Designin’ December idea!
Yes, my sister, who isn’t fond of sewing (she loves to draw), asked me a few weeks ago to make her a top. No rush, no pressure, it would be great though if it was ready by the date of her husband’s Christmas party, this Saturday – which actually wasn’t a problem. She had already…

What do you get when you cross a …
needle with a tiger – A pinstripe! What do you get when you cross a bodice pattern block, a Sewaholic Hollyburn skirt and a vintage Butterick pattern? Let me show you! In the ’80s I remember having a red polyester knit dress – similar to the one here without a collar. I loved it! I decided to…
