March Sewing-Checking In

Hello All,

I have been tremendously busy and have been missing blogging.  I am taking two History classes, teaching two 10 year olds how to sew, working and sewing as much as possible.  Right now I am sewing some garments for a fashion show, hope to have pictures soon.  I have been following all of my favorite blogs and commenting here and there. 

Been busy reviewing the latest magazines, InStyle, Elle, Marie Claire and Harpers Bazaar to name a few and have seen so many interesting garments that I would like to make.  I also changed my sewing room around.  Purchased some shelving units to hold (some) of my fabric and it really opened up my small space and really ignited my sewing mojo as well.  I hate that I did not take a before picture but the look of the space is very nice.  I will have to take the picture and share it at another time.  I just realized that I have not taken many pictures of the few garments that I have completed, just too busy.

Hoping it will slow down a little so that I can make some of the garments flowing in my brain at the moment.

As always, Happy Sewing!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2013 to all.  I pray that you prosper and be in health as your soul prospers.  Thank you to all who follow.  2012 was a little low for me on the sewing front.  I have already completed 1 skirt and 1 pair of pants for my youngest daughter as well as re-upholstered a chair for her bedroom (pics will follow soon).

I have many plans for this year and pray that I am able to accomplish them.  Wishing you all the best in 2013.

As always, Happy Sewing.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Merry Christmas!

PLEASE VOTE!

This is not a blog on sewing today.  I am very happy that Election Day is almost here.  I know many have already voted and for those of us who have not, Please Don't Neglect to Vote on Tuesday, November 6, 2012.  I like a great number of people am sick of the Ads and everything related to the Election but I will not IGNORE My Constitutional Right to cast my ballot.

 

 

Until Next Time.

Some Fall favorites

I have not posted in a while...been quite busy....Not sewing, unfortunately but hopefully soon.  I have been looking through all of the magazines and have been noticing some things. 

Suits are some of my favorite garments to make. They look sharp and pulled together without much effort. You can mix the pieces in order to stretch your wardrobe. So happy they are making a comeback, although some would say they never stop wearing them.

Loving the boxy coat trend as well.  The blue and camel coats are two of my favorites.  I have pulled out all of the outerwear fabrics in my stash and trying to decide which one to make first. I have this beautiful hunter green mix of wool and something else, not sure, but great for a coat.  I have a couple of Vogue patterns I am looking at and will decide tonight which one I want to make.

As always, Happy Sewing!
