Maternity T-shirt

What I thought would be the last item in my next batch of projects turned out to be the first. I made my daughter a maternity t-shirt using some of the lavender cotton knit. It's fairly heavy and stable so it worked for the pattern I had, which was for woven fabric. Very few maternity patterns to choose from in the Big-3 pattern companies. All the shirt needs now is the hem. The self-fabric neckband turned out awesome, thanks to that Threads video. I did whip this one out--measured, fitted, altered, cut and sewn (except for the hem) in 3 hours. Feels good to get a project that far in one evening.

I'm going to keep my eyes out for some cotton-spandex blend for some t-shirts for me. I told dd that if she buys the fabric I'll make her more shirts.

Easter Ensemble

I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!

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 😜).
