I’m taking a sewing class. One of the assignments we do regularly is samples of stitches. I find this great because it gives me the chance to actually sew all the stitches I’ve always wanted to try but never had motivation. Amazing how a grade can provide motivation. Anyhow, keep your eyes peeled for examples…
As you may or may not know, I’ve recently started taking sewing classes at the local college. I’m taking two classes: lingerie construction and intermediate clothing construction. These are fabulous classes and I’m learning a ton.
I needed something to keep together all the random bits in my purse. So I made this when I was up in the morning with jet lag. It’s lined. I’m quite pleased with how it came out. Perhaps I will put together a tutorial if I have time. Here are some other pictures.
Here’s part 2 of making the ottoman where I finish it. Sort of. You’ll see.
I’ve decided I need to use up my stash. I also have a ton of scraps that I can’t bring myself to throw out so I’m going to use them for stuffing. For what? For an ottoman type seat like the drawing you see above. Yeah, I know my photoshop drawing skills leave something to…

I like the way this one came out even more! This time I used a home dec weight fabric for the base of the bag and corduroy for the sides and handles. The stiffness is much more to my liking. I also stitched the lining to the outside beneath the snaps to make it stronger…

A while back I had posted about wanting to make the Emmeline Apron. I mean, a while back. Got the fabric and everything. But time passed . . . And I found new fabric. Now I wanted to make it out of cupcake fabric (see above). So I bought some of that. I was now…
Another successful bag. The design for this bag went through several iterations, but finally turned out. It’s rather simple and easy to make. Here’s just a picture for now. I might post the pattern later. It holds a surprisingly large amount and it has a very wide shoulder strap so it’s actually quite comfortable even…
