Ribby fronts are done!
Amazing what I can get done when I’m the only prson in the house for 12 hours a day. Mind you, Twinky feels I’m smothering her 😉
I’ve also been a virtual sewing magician. I cut things out, run them through the machine, and hey presto, new outfit for Em! I should have taken a pic this morning before she left, will take one when she gets home. She’s wearing a very bright ensemble today that I whipped up from a Lizzie McGuire pattern.
I also picked up a pattern and some fabric for me. Spotlight has brought put a range of Retro Patterns, and I immediately wanted this jacket.
They also had their wool suiting on special for $6 a metre! So I grabbed enough for two jackets.
The lighter one is pinker than it appears here. I’m not quite sure where I’ll wear these jackets, but I just liked the pattern so I grabbed the makings while they were on sale.
The sewing bug is back 🙂
Obviously I need to get rid of my family more often – loads of knitting and sewing, less housework. I even get to hold the remote!
Oh, how I envy your sewing abilities. Though when I’d find the time is a big mystery.
Aah, those patterns are brilliant, no? I got the 50’s Dress one, they’re soo cool! I didn’t see that jacket one, I think I’ll have to get it. Spotlight’s pretty cool.
Wow, Donna, you’re so crafty! I love the black with pink material! That will be so cute even with jeans! My mom used to make me outfits, hence, I never learned to sew. My hubby sews a little though….well he made a cape for himself so he really can sew. Just don’t look too closely at his seams!
Now…did you knit both fronts at the same time??
Love the new suitings….but no time to sew at this point!!!! 🙂 Lisa
I love the costume and the headpiece. I made 2 headpieces for my step-daughters’ Holy Communions. They came out nice – but what a pain – but I enjoy it so I should stop complaining.
Anyway, I love the pattern for the boucle jackets. Who is the designer/pattern company? I also love the fabric selections. I think they would look great with just one button and hip hugger jeans!
