http://fittobestitched.blogspot.com/2012/02/progress-pics.html
Fit to be Stitched. Fitting and stitching woes of a returning sewist with a new weaving obsession on the side. Saturday, February 25, 2012. I'm about as far as I can go without a body to put the dress on. I stopped short of the zipper and basting the bodice onto the skirt. I'd decided I'd really like to have her IN the dress to make sure I run the zipper as far "south" as it needs to go. As for the basting of the bodice to the skirt? I am happy with how it is all coming together. I am 57, a retired Proje...

Fit to be Stitched. Fitting and stitching woes of a returning sewist with a new weaving obsession on the side. Saturday, August 13, 2011. I think I will crown myself "worst blogger on Earth" and move on! Life get's complicated, doesn't it? There isn't one among us who is still on the path they thought they would be walking 5 years ago. I know mine is dramatically altered. That does not have to mean bad, though. It just means different. 3) Weave the towels OFF the loom! 4) Stitch up the muslin for DD's we...

Fit to be Stitched. Fitting and stitching woes of a returning sewist with a new weaving obsession on the side. Sunday, June 10, 2012. And here is the Happy Couple! I love this picture. The wedding was held at a City Park facility and right next door is the Arboretum. This is the photo the bridesmaids and DD headed there pre-ceremony for photos. Isn't she adorable? Note her flats. She graduated on 5/6 and wore her red heels that were meant for the wedding. Verdict? The bridesmaids and the bride. It was a ...

Fit to be Stitched. Fitting and stitching woes of a returning sewist with a new weaving obsession on the side. Sunday, June 10, 2012. This that = THIS. In December of last year, I made a scarf for my MIL for Christmas using tencel in deflected double weave using this pattern: Weaving Today - Deflected Doubleweave. Here is the result:. 60" long with fringe. The tencel warp does shrink, compressing all of the black and periwinkle for a very nice effect. Warp is Tencel 8/2. She is a countermarche loom, diff...

Fit to be Stitched. Fitting and stitching woes of a returning sewist with a new weaving obsession on the side. Friday, December 31, 2010. Was a great success! The only people who got store bought gifts this year were DS and DD and their significants with only a few exceptions as noted:. DMIL: Husband made a turned birdhouse ornament which is now hanging in the window of their sunroom. He also roasted coffee and made her a hand turned coffee scoop BEAUTIFUL! Spice cake (old family recipe from Norway).

Adventures in Sewing: I'm Back
http://asewingmachine.blogspot.com/2008/11/im-back.html
A journal of my sewing projects and a how-to guide for how I did it. Monday, November 3, 2008. It has been WAY to long since the last time that I posted anything. I am ready to get back in the sewing spirit and there is no better time then the holidays! Plus, now is the perfect time to make myself some holiday clothes. No, I am not talking about sweaters with snowmen on them. I am talking about a beautiful dress, a skirt, a nice blouse. I want something I can wear to a party and look hot in. I have to say.
