My quilting guild retreat was supposed to be over Memorial Day weekend. I originally wasn’t supposed to go, but it got switched to a virtual retreat and since my original plans were cancelled, I was able to attend. The organizers did an amazing job with lots of fun projects, a 24 hour zoom room, a…
Coming up next in my organizational sewing are these By Annie Pack It In packing Cubes. I actually started these first and as I was using the fabric, I realized it would also be perfect for the Amethyst Project Bag. So after making one of these, I paused and made the Amethyst Project Bag, and…
I just finished this. Last night. I rarely get photos and get things posted this quickly so feel free to be impressed 😉 This is the Sew Sweetness Amethyst Project Bag. I was actually using the exterior fabric for some other organization type containers (to be posted when I finish them) and realized it would…
Now for something sorta recent but sorta old. This is the Seamwork Camden cape. These photos are from this past February when I finally finished it, but I say “sorta old” because I actually started it about 2 years ago. As in, I had finished everything but hemming the lining. But never got around to…
As I mentioned in the Cinderella costume post, I had bought tulle for a petticoat but decided it would be too much for that costume. So I decided to make one for myself. I did a super simple one just using the gathering foot on my serger. I had 2 rolls so I gathered one…
In the last post, I showed the Cinderella costume I made for my cousin. They live in the middle of the country and I just assume anywhere that isn’t Florida is probably freezing in October at night. So I wanted to make sure she had a coordinating layer to keep her warm. I used McCall’s…
For Halloween of 2017 (I know, I know, some of these posts are WAY overdue), my cousin’s daughter wanted to be Cinderella. Who was I to say no? Also, I was pretty psyched to make her an awesome costume. One of my favorite parts is the back (above). I love the giant bow although it’s…
Here’s another one from way back. This is the Seamwork Neenah. The fabric is some Ponte from Fabric.com that I had originally ordered as a potential fabric for my April O’Neil costume, but obviously didn’t end up using. I was making it as a muslin for a dress I wanted to do for Costume College.…
Time for a more recent project. This one is the Sew Sweetness Tortoise Bag. I’ve been doing a bit more crocheting and knitting these days and wanted something to carry around my current project. The outer fabric is some Riley Blake that my mom gave me leftover from one of her projects and the lining…
Coming off the last piece that I made, this is what I made with the leftovers. I had just enough to eke it out. The base is the Renfrew shirt by Sewaholic (one of my tried and true patterns) that I just hacked down the middle and shortened. I really like the overall execution. I did…
