Great Tshirt Pattern

September 24, 2013 by

Lately I have been sewing up a bunch of clothes instead of the usual quilts and purses. I’m actually finding that I really enjoy it. Well, I have been searching for just a regular ol’ t-shirt pattern even if I have to pay for it. Luckily I came across this t-shirt pattern from 3 Hours Past the Edge of the World. I’m super excited to try it! I have a bunch of left over knit fabric from those skirts that I made for my daughter and I.

Nothing but inspiration!

September 4, 2013 by

I love the world and all of it’s interesting and beautiful things. I was browsing the web tonight and I came across this blog. I had never been there before, but it really blew me out of the water with all of the beautiful images, all around the color purple. Purple is one of my favorites colors, so I’m a bit biased. :) I hope you enjoy these as much as I did….

I just couldn’t wait

September 2, 2013 by

Carrie's Staple Dress

Well, I just couldn’t wait. I ended up making the Staple Dress (pattern by April Rhodes). I really liked her dress and the material she used that I couldn’t wait. I was thinking I would give it a few weeks, but I have been having this bug to sew a bunch lately. I’m okay with that. :)

I used the Birch fabric line Camp Modern and the fabric was Flight in Mahogany. It was kind of expensive material, but I really like how modern it looks. The only thing I didn’t like as much as the Washi dress was how much the shirring brought in the waistline. The elastic shirring was one of the last things to do (not that there were very many steps), but I liked the shirring before stitching up the sides on the Washi dress. The thing that I liked a lot about this pattern were all the french seams. I like those better then just using the zig zag stitch, especially since I don’t have a serger.

My opinion is that this is a nice and easy pattern, and it’s really great for beginners. I think I will need to find a little belt to go with this dress though. The elastic waist works, but it feels incomplete.

Update on my goals for 2013

September 1, 2013 by

These are my goals for 2013:

  • Finish quilt for family in Alaska Done!
  • Need to make a baby quilt for a friend Done!
  • Make another Washi Dress or Tunic Done!
  • Super Mario quilt (sooooo excited for this one)
  • New purse, using my Tula Pink Birds & Bees fabric Done!
  • Go through my stash and see what kind of stuff I can make This has been going great. I made the quilt and the Washi dress from the stash. The purse will be fabric from the stash too.
  • Technique Challenge: I want to sew with knits. Maybe start out with some shorts and then graduate to a dress. We will see how the first project goes. :) DONE!

I am super thrilled with my progress for 2013. I know I didn’t have a lot of goals, but I felt like I didn’t want to make TOO lofty of goals that I would disappoint myself. Well, I haven’t and the only thing I have on my list is the Super Mario Bros quilt that I have talked about all year. I knew this one was going to be the most work so I left it for last. I have got in a few extras that weren’t on the list, so that makes me even happier.

I have been thinking that I am going to make a Staple Dress for myself, but I’m not sure if I’m going to add it to my goals list. If I get it done, then I get it done. I won’t stress about it if I don’t.

How about your goals for this year? Have you finished your list yet?

Two Skirts for Two Girls

August 30, 2013 by

JJ's Skirt

Today was a nice day. I took it off from work and enjoyed the day to myself. Of course I couldn’t just sit on the couch and do nothing, although I did that later on after I finished up these cute little skirts. I was browsing Pinterest and saw a pattern for a quick knit skirt and decided that it would be perfect for me to try out since working with knits are on the goal list for this year. Well, I had been really concerned about working with knits that I put it off for a long time. I found a few blogs that helped me quite a bit to get ready (Prudent Baby and One Little Minute Blog).

It turns out that sewing with knits is ridiculously easy. I thought my machine was going to eat up the material, but it did nothing even close to that. I did try with a scrap first just using a straight stitch and then that made me remember the articles that I was supposed to use the stretch stitch. I switched over and then, Bam! Perfect stitches. I also used a ballpoint/jersey needle and I could tell that made a bit of a difference too because it was popping/breaking the threads in the fabric.

Mommy and JJ

The skirts came out pretty nicely. I actually just ended up taking our measurements and then winging the pattern myself. For JJ’s skirt I only had one piece of fabric that I made into a tube and then sewed some elastic into a waistband. After that I hemmed the bottom. Pretty easy. For mine, I had to take a few tries before I got it completely right. My skirt was two pieces of fabric sewn at the sides, then I sewed in the elastic for the wasteband, then hemmed the bottom. It probably took me about an hour and a half to make both of the skirts.

The ONLY bad part of sewing these up are that I now want to make even more. If/when I do, I will be using some lighter weight knit fabric. The stuff I got here (from Joann’s) is probably a bit heavier than I would like for summer. It will be great for fall and winter though. Now I just need to lose more weight. :)

Two New Open Wide Pouches

Two New Open Wide Pouches

Today was a long day. I stayed home to go to a Dr’s appointment and I ended up getting an itch to make something. I didn’t have much work to do (since I was working from home) and decided that I needed a few new Open Wide Pouches (pattern from Anna over at Noodlehead). I made one for myself and one for a friend of mine at work. We were talking a while back about how to carry discretely the monthly lady materials without having to take your whole purse with you to the privy. I thought about this pattern and decided it would be perfect. Well, I finally whipped some up for us and I think they turned out pretty well. I had used this pattern before for a new makeup bag for myself. This pattern is great because she has three different sizes to choose from. I chose the smallest version for these. I made these two in about an hour altogether. Perfect!
