Sewing a bit and getting it done.
Happy February lovely people!
This weekend I actually decided to get some of the sewing things out of my head. I organized some of my patterns, I organized the printed NewVintageLady repros I have in stock, I worked on another Frankenstein suit for Workshop 77, and I finally, finally started on the draping of a dress I've had in my head for weeks!
Home for the Holiday
Hello lovely people.
I've been gone. More like, away. I flew home for the first time in 10 years to surprise my 95 year old grandmother for her birthday.
Day project, A-Shirts of her.
Hello lovely people.
I feel so accomplished. I can't tell you how elated I am that my sewing area is clean.
Check it, I finally got to do this!
More awesome Playclothes repairs!
Hello everyone!
It has been a crazy few weeks for me. I have a cough (congested throat that may be a sinus infection) that I've had flair up for over a week. I hope it will go away in a bit.
MnM 2013: Repurposing some fabric.
Good morning lovely people.
Thanks for holding on this past week. I just got overwhelmed with late nights and tons of things that I had to get out of the way for other people.
Summer cleaning is the same as Spring cleaning, isn't it?
Hello lovely people.
It's finally summer...yay!
Time for BBQs, beach ball and booze. Well, not like you *need* a sessional change to enjoy those things, especially if you live in California. Okay, I won't rub it in.But for a lot of people all over the world the weather is nice and bright and new. What do you do on those first few days, why mop the floor, what else!?
Oh wait, that's what I do.
Small projects I decided to finish...finally.
Hello lovely people.
I really have not felt like getting involved in a big sewing project. I've just wanted to simmer, do some small things, look over what I've done and see if there are any holes in my wardrobe. Turns out there are a whole lot of holes in my wardrobe.
Homemaking: Be your own Interior Decorator
Hello one and all!
Brian showing off the gift he got. A new dog tag!
I'm contemplating what I'm going to be sewing next. I'm pondering a garter belt and under garments, or blouses which I'm severely lacking, or doing another plain pattern project. In the interim, I'm always homemaking.
Vintage Homemaking: How to be well-dressed on a smaller clothing budget
I'm feeling homemakie.
One reason I'm feeling this way is because of Viva. Some of the weekender is still haunting me. Mainly, the dressing up. I really like dressing in my clothes but being home and freelancing a lot tends to keep me in my PJs.
