SFD Swing Top Pattern

The SFD Swing Top draft calls for rotating the bust dart into the waist dart and adding another 2" besides. This creates the swinginess in the top. My bust dart is big. That is ALOT of swing!  We shall see how it turns out. It took me about 2 hours to draft the swing top pattern and I still need to do the knit sleeve pattern piece. I expect to get better and faster at drafting patterns from my SFD blueprint. I am releasing weight so I'll be re-blueprinting myself again in a month or so. I'll be making lots of clothes so I'll get lots of practice.

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.
