A Dress for Sonia Rose

My latest project is a dress for my neice Sonia Rose to wear at the wedding. I'll be using Simplicity 5115 view A. Pretty simple. No collar because collars always turn up, although I'm considering a little neckline ruffle. This pattern includes an attached romper underneath instead of a diaper cover. There will definitely be ruffles on the romper rump. I also decided to self-line the yoke rather than binding it, and to add piping at waist seam and possibly the neck and sleeves. And it's going to be the same material as my suit! Won't that be just darling!

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
