A Unique Pair of Pants

I whipped up a toile of the re-issued Unique pants pattern. At the risk of being in fitting denial (a phrase coined by internet friend and sister sewist Lori), they look pretty darn good. Unique re-drafted this pattern to reflect my asymmetrical hips and the result is nice. There still is some bagginess in the back of the thighs; however, at first blush it doesn't seem too bad--perhaps because I used a less drapey fabric for this toile.

A look through the pattern catalogs brought these 2 possiblities for my size 14 princess-seamed shirt experiment:

4922 and 4780

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 😜).
