Hot Patterns Classix Nouveau Trouser Skirt

I'm working on this skirt from Hot Patterns:

So far, so good--right out of the envelope; no alterations required. I'm so close to being finished I can taste it, but I'm stuck at the front fly zipper application. Grrrr... Reviewers of this pattern at PR mentioned the directions being confusing and they were right. It'll look great when it's finished, and once I get the zipper figured out it won't take so long to do next time.

i absolutely love trouser skirts. I made one years ago from a butterick pattern that had me sweating bullets when it came to the zipper! But it all went together so well I wore it for years....hope you are enjoying your skirt.

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.
