Blue Linen Jacket

The sloper's not dead, she's just restin'. The sloper has been laid aside temporarily whilst I attempt to sew something that actually fits. I've got my Unique Jacket partially cut out of some dark blue linen blend. This version will have no collar, no pockets and will be about 5" longer so as to cover my curvaceous booty. Me wearing my last version of this jacket, at my dd's wedding holding my neice.

It's lovely! Did you make your neice's dress? It looks like a perfect match.

Beth and Lori, thank you! As a matter of fact, I did make my neice's dress--out of silk noil, no less! Ah, well it was a special occasion. And she wore it the next week on Easter Sunday so she got 2 wearings out of it. The little sheer overskirt on her dress was made out of the lavender chiffon that draped the canopy at her mother's (my sister's) wedding, so it really is a special dress. And we stuck the sweetest little purple bow on her head, and sewed little matching fabric flowers on her sockies....oh, dear--long answer---but we had fun dressing that baby!

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 😜).
