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.

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.

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 😜).
