Come sew and knit with me: February 2012
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Come sew and knit with me. Monday, February 13, 2012. When a friend spends two and a half hours wrapping you in duct tape and another half hour trying to cut you out of it, she deserves a thank you gift. And having spotted her much-loved but very worn-looking coin purse last week, this seemed perfect. I found this pattern at CraftPassion. Links to this post. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Duct Tape dress form. All the plumb lines are still plumb and the measurements of the form are (almost) identical to mine.

Come sew and knit with me: Einstein Jacket
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2012/02/einstein-jacket.html
Come sew and knit with me. Thursday, February 2, 2012. I finally finished my Einstein coat/jacket that I started 6 months ago during our marathon vacation to the tip of the UP and back. This is Sally Melville's famous pattern from her book The Knit Stitch. I made the medium size, but adjusted the number of stitches because I wasn't getting the gauge Sally specified. I also used a tip I found in the Einstein group on Ravelry. I used Lion Brand Suede. In the color fuschia. February 2, 2012 at 8:57 PM.

Come sew and knit with me: My Finished Sweater-Coat
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-finished-sweater-coat.html
Come sew and knit with me. Monday, March 5, 2012. The challenge for our designer group for February was to use wool sweaters to make a garment inspired by the ones at KatWise. You can see what the rest of the group did at our Blog. But here is mine and my story. The photo on the left is on my dress form, but the outside picture shows the true colors better. I was trying to show how it twirls, hence the blurry edges. One Etsy seller who had coats I really liked was Jill2Day. So far all my sewing and knitt...

Come sew and knit with me: April 2012
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Come sew and knit with me. Friday, April 27, 2012. Our most recent challenge in Designer Group III. Was to use suit jackets (men's or women's) to make a purse or tote. And the point was to use the lapels, pockets, sleeve details, and other parts unique to the jackets as focal points on our bag. I used all three colors of the linings to make the piping that separates the various parts. The right side of the purse front is the sleeve cuff - with added buttons) and that piece wraps around to the back. Here ...

Come sew and knit with me: Beads
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2012/04/beads.html
Come sew and knit with me. Sunday, April 15, 2012. My sewing lately has been mending and trying to finish projects that have waiting WAY too long. But I keep getting distracted by beads. Here is a picture of a wall hanging I made for a friend. Then I put a layer of batting and muslin behind the fabric and started adding the beads and sequins. See the pretty flower sequins in the lower left corner? Here are close-up photos. She came to talk to NTGM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Come sew and knit with me. Thursday, January 12, 2012. This blog is a new thing for me. One of our newest members of DesignersIII suggested it, so here I am. I attended a wonderful lecture on Tuesday at NTGM (Needlework and Textile Guild of Michigan). Kathy Zasuwa. Spoke about creativity - you can. Page 3 of http:/ ntgm.org/blogdata/2011 12.pdf. She spoke about what you can do to “make art” and how to overcome the obstacles that occur during the process of creating. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Come sew and knit with me: It's about time.
http://comesewandknitwithme.blogspot.com/2014/04/its-about-time.html
Come sew and knit with me. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. I started this blog with urging from a member of our Designer Group, so I guess it's fitting that a comment from a different member has gotten me back to posting again. The comment? You haven't posted in almost TWO. Guilty as charged. I have no good excuse, so I will just jump back in and start posting again like I never quit. Deal? I can offer one explanation. Last April my daughter got married. I made her pink bolero. And the ring pillow.
