Whip It! Whip it Out!

Whip out sewing projects is what I cannot do.

The baby shower's tomorrow. The gifts I'm making aren't finished. The patterns are traced and the fabric's washed. My daughter understands, though, bless her heart. I'll get it all done before she has the baby.

While waiting for the fgift abric to wash 'n dry I cut out a sleeper and a onesie shirt out of stashed fabric so I could practice making smaller stuff. I really thought it would go faster.


The practice sleeper (yes, those are straight pins, and yes, I will take those out and replace them with snaps)


Shower gifts-to-be:

This pile of stuff will be turned into decorated onesies, gowns and a blanket.

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 😜).
