    Huck Finn Cap

    September 27, 2012 / 4 Comments

    https://www.aminovlaw.com/queens-village/ I am welcoming the end of gardening season, because it means that I don’t have to feel bad about staying inside and sewing now! My first sewing project in a while was for my friend’s kid, Declan, who just turned two. For his birthday, I decided to make him the Huck Finn Cap by Sew Liberated. I bought the pattern and the fabric at the West Seattle Fabric Company. This hat came together really fast. After sewing all those 30 plus hour dresses, it was nice to make something that I could complete in just a few hours. I also love that you can make the lining a contrast fabric. So cute.…

    Farmy photo shoot!

    July 29, 2012 / 2 Comments

    https://bewellcounselingpllc.com/about-us/ I am usually the one taking the pictures, so I am rarely in them. That said, I am so excited to have some pictures of myself doing the things I love; working in the garden and in my sewing room. Thank you to Amy Kiel of Amy Kiel Photography for coming over on a sprinkly Seattle day to photograph me in my element. I have long been a fan of Amy’s work, so I feel honored to have been photographed by her!

    Palette Challenge- Completed Crepe Dress

    July 19, 2012 / 5 Comments

    https://networkcsc.com/discover2021agenda/ Okay, so I realize that the Colette Patterns 2012 Spring/SummerPalette Challenge ended ages ago, but I did start this dress within the window (and I finished it June 30th and am just now blogging about it), so I am still going to consider this dress part of this challenge. I got two out of three of my projects completed. That’s not bad considering it’s Summer and I now know that I won’t sew as much in the Summer. I love love love this dress. I love the fit, that it is a wrap dress, the lining (and the weight of the dress created by the lining) and most of all that…

I think it was one of the first days that we knew that my mom was in the clear, that I took my long awaited Sewaholic “Renfrew” class at Made Sewing Studio. Since I had bought a serger and taken a class on how to use my serger, I had been wanting to take a knitwear class. I had also seen Lladybird’s multiple Renfrew tops and knew I wanted to make that at some point as well. So imagine how delighted I was when Made…

    A Bartenders Dilemma: What do we do with all the Crown Royal Bags?

    June 4, 2012 / 16 Comments

    A Bartenders Dilemma: What to do with the Crown Royal Bags? Thanks Lilly for letting me do a guest post my Crown Royal bag, sewing extravaganza. I’m a bartender at the Streamline Tavern and I have a hard time throwing away the bags that the Crown Royal whisky comes in.  My customers are maxed out; they don’t want them any more,.. but the bags are too nice to throw away. We joked about making a quilt out of them, then someone with a smart phone actually did a web search on Crown Royal quilts. Lo and Behold, there are dozens of Crown Royal quilts out there! This tweaked my competitive,…

    Palette Challenge update: Crepe dress

    May 28, 2012 / No Comments

    https://mealsheelsandcocktails.com/tag/cilantro/ We’ve been having some pretty nice weather in Seattle lately, so I’ve been doing more gardening than sewing lately. My dog Charlie, is usually my garden helper. He likes to sit out in the garden with me while I work, or just roll on his back in the grass. He’s nine now and starting to get lumpy, as Labs tend to do. So we just had to have one of his bumps removed. Since Charlie is recovering and can’t really go outside much right now, I have a good excuse to stay inside and catch up on some sewing. Now Charlie is my sewing helper! My second project for the Colette…

    Palette Challenge Project #1- Truffle Dress

    May 7, 2012 / 6 Comments

    Buy Ultram Online I completed my first project for the Colette Patterns 2012 Spring/Summer Palette Challenge and I couldn’t be more pleased. I have to be honest, as my third ever handmade garment attempt, I kind of needed this one to be a win. I liked my Meringue skirt for the fabric and the piping, but structurally it had issues. I learned so much about fit making the Pastille dress, but realistically, I don’t see it being something I will wear very often. If I was going to keep spending time making handmade clothes, I really needed to make something I adored, to make it worth it. Luckily, I love my Truffle Dress! I had read several…

    2012 Spring & Summer Palette Challenge

    April 16, 2012 / 8 Comments

    Woohoo! I’m going to do a sewing challenge! Apparently, twice a year, Colette Patterns hosts seasonal wardrobe “palette” challenges.  For this one, the idea is to pick a color palette for Spring and Summer, make a “mood board” (with examples of your colors, fabric, inspiration, etc.) and then make as many garments as you can, in 8 weeks. Here is my mood board (I totally had fun making this by the way): I already had the first two fabrics and had been eyeballing the third. The first fabric swatch, going from left to right, is a vintage fabric that I bought from Etsy. The listing was for a 60s style back satiny…
