Sewing in the New Year

In the middle of Christmas preparation, where the only sewing project I have going is hand-stitching arms, mouths and tails to sock monkeys, my order from Unique Patterns arrived.

This jacket will be a nice addition to my wardrobe:

























I got this blouse for a basic, semi-fitted shirt:





















After the holidays I will make a toile of each of these new patterns to check the fit--as soon I've sewn up the 2 pair of pants and sweater-knit shirt that are cut out and ready! For now.....back to sock monkeys!

That suit pattern is fabulous! The jacket should be quite versatile - great choice!

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.
