Ready-to-Wear Fast

I decided to start 2018 by making a commitment to make my own clothes instead of buying them.  To keep me on track, I have joined the 2018 RTW Fast sponsored by Sarah Gunn.  I’m hoping that the more I sew, the more my sewing techniques will improve.  I’m going to start with something easy, so I selected the Simplicity 2372 skirt.   I’m going to use this flower fabric.  Not sure what it is.  I think is some kind of cotton blend.  Time for me to get started.

Have a blessed and safe Christmas.

Merry Christmas

My Sewing Room

Just spent half of the day clearing out my junk room.  Got most of the big stuff out.  Just have to go through the stuff on the table.  Next I'll repair the ceiling (from a previous leak) and paint.  Then this will become my sewing room.  Yay!!

Get rid of this stuff (not the sewing machine in the box).

This will be the wall color (my favorite, blue).

What A Sale!

I stopped by JoAnn Fabric (Columbus, Ohio) and got these five Simplicity patterns for a total of $5.  It's a President's Day sale through Monday, February 16th.  Don't know if all JoAnns are having this sale but it might be worth a check.

I have a cruise coming up soon and I'm really liking Simplicity 1199 view F with that lace edge.  Well I better get sewing.

Happy New Year - 2015!

Happy New Year!

Happy Sewing!

I went to a knitting retreat a couple of months ago.  My goal was to bring a couple of projects and at least finish one of them.  I ended up doing more sewing than knitting or crocheting.

First I made the two pillow cases.  The was an easy pattern from American Patchwork & Quilting.
I love how these came out.  Guess I'm gonna have to make a lot more.

My second project was a bowl cozy.  Sorry I don't have the pattern for this one.

Also, my house guests have left so I can have my sewing space back.  Not sure what I'm going to make but since winter is coming, it's going to be something warm.
