On sewing, vintage sewing machines, and creativity, bursting with the spirit of refashion, upcycle, reuse, and enjoyment. Saturday, July 5, 2014. Thursday, July 3, 2014. Wicked Was Indeed Wicked : Day 2. My favorite sandals just bit the dust. Right before the trip, I even had new heels put on. Now, should I ditch them here in London or have it fixed? I've had them for a long time. Maybe it's time to let them go. Oh, well. Architecture is amazing. Everywhere you look. I liked this pretty door. We sat far ...

It has been over a month since I sewed something. I made this pair of jeans before my last sewing post - Staycation Tees. But it remained unblogged because the jeans actually fit and look great on me (really, I promise! But for some reason, I haven't been able to get a good photo of me wearing them.

What a great idea. Our Fabric Stash. Is a fabric consignment store. Right in my city. I had to go check it out. They are having their semi-annual sale this weekend. When I visited the shop, I was told that the deep discount happens on the second day. 50% off marked price. It is fairly well organized. I was originally g...

On sewing, vintage sewing machines, and creativity, bursting with the spirit of refashion, upcycle, reuse, and enjoyment. Saturday, January 23, 2016. NY, Snow, and Mood. This beautiful art piece welcomed us at the airport. It was nice and sunny the first day. We aren't here purely for vacation. We had some 'business' to take care of. We were hoping to catch a show or two if we had time in the evening. Love musicals. Nothing else was in my plan. Shopping? Forget it. Fabric shopping? These are not knits...

Urban Recyclist: October 2014

On sewing, vintage sewing machines, and creativity, bursting with the spirit of refashion, upcycle, reuse, and enjoyment. Thursday, October 30, 2014. My son is a hoodie lover. I wanted to make him something and this pattern screamed to be chosen. I've previously made a view A, a long sleeve shirt with princess seams. Relatively easy (yup, if you are not too fussy about the fit, shape, length, etc.). The pocket's handy for his iPhone. Lined the hood with slightly heavier material that has a felty/flannell...

Now I understand what all the hype was about. I admit, the photo on the envelop looks very cute. But it wasn't just the photo. This pattern is excellent in many ways. First of all, do you see those PINK dots? Mmm, kinda hard to see. Here is right/wrong sides shown together. The fabric came from one of the big cha...For s...

The FMQ Challenge: January 2012
http://fmqchallenge.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. I made my piece for the Free Motion Challenge. The pattern requirement, Ivy leaves, is a go-to pattern for me. I often use it. So I just did a small bit in the border of this quiltlet. I'll eventually paint it and add more stitching. Keep an eye for the progress on my blog. Links to this post. Saturday, January 21, 2012. FMQ Brother Innovis 4000D. Many happy returns, Mary Ann. Posted by Mary Ann. Links to this post. Monday, January 16, 2012. This quilt sandwich was about 18 by 1...

Again Third time I made this pattern. The version 1. I made was a light weight sweater knit, and I wear it quite often. This one is a light weight silk blend sweater knit. I made it to go with my M6559 dress. Since it's a silk blend, it's perfect for cool evening breeze of the Pacific Northwest summer and early fall days. My current g...

I made this dress actually last August. That's right, August, 2014. I considered it to be a flop, so it remained unblogged. Sewed with a tiny narrow orange ribbon for the skirt portion of the dress. I really like the way these two fabrics worked out well together. No zipper closure. Just slip on and off. I made size 10 b...

On sewing, vintage sewing machines, and creativity, bursting with the spirit of refashion, upcycle, reuse, and enjoyment. Monday, September 22, 2014. This summer, I took a grand tour of London, Brussels, and Paris with my son. Better late than never - I finally got around to writing my Paris fabric shopping experience! Walk a block, maybe two, straight on that souvenir shops street and at the end of the street you'll be greeted with:. Oh, so gorgeous. Also, just to the left, there is the Funicular. I...
