The third retreat project I worked on was the ByAnnie Mini Notebook Cover. The pattern as well as a correctly sized piece of Soft and Stable was part of our goodie bag. It was super awesome of ByAnnie to sponsor our retreat and this was a cute pattern that would make a fun gift! I’d…
The second retreat project was making a pair of slippers. The organizers provided us with some non-skid fabric to use for the bottom and sent out a list of free patterns, but I couldn’t just make basic slippers. I mean, it’s me. So, yeah, no. I was definitely going to make pig slippers. I perused…
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.…
