Vacuuming the Lawn: October 2014

http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 27, 2014. New Look 6071, Part 2: the modesty panel and the rest of the dress. So yes, I made two turquoise dresses in a row! First was NL 6071, which I never finished blogging about. I wrote part 1 here about the back of the dress here. Then I made that S1314 quilted dressed which I blogged about in a few posts, the last of which is here. These super-small, super-adorable square snaps are from Daytona Trimming in NYC. They're right next to the register and they don't seem to have them...

Vacuuming the Lawn: Vogue 8571 Red Dress Done!

http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2014/08/vogue-8571-red-dress-done.html

Monday, August 18, 2014. Vogue 8571 Red Dress Done! I picked up the pattern at MPB Day 2013 last year. And thought it would be fun to wear it to MPB Day this year. I finished it 5 days after MPB Day 2014 occurred, oops! I purchased this fabric in San Diego at a swap meet last November with Elizabeth. It has crosswise and lengthwise stretch. It is a stretchy and synthetic, the kind of fabric I love because it means little-to-no wrinkles! I really love the gathers in the back and the front. I am on staycat...

Vacuuming the Lawn: Turquoise and White Gingham Tote for Francesca

http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2015/07/turquoise-and-white-gingham-tote-for.html

Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Turquoise and White Gingham Tote for Francesca. I made a tote bag for a friend from my meditation group over the July 4th weekend. She turned 80 earlier this month and we threw her a sweet little surprise party where everyone brought something: balloons, sweet treats, fruit, flowers, even a birthday crown! I normally do not sew for others, but Francesca is extra special. She is like a grandmother to me, probably because I feel like I'm still 20-something at heart. Having recentl...

Massive life changes ahead! July 30, 2016. You can likely deduce from the odd post here and there that there are big changes ahead for us, and there’s a lot we haven’t officially shared on our social media. October 16, 2015. Over the summer I sewed a lot of short sleeved shirts that I never got around to blogging about. In the time since then, they have been loved, worn a lot and then packed away as the weather in London cooled. First up, the Sewaholic. The ever popular Grainline Scout Tee. The print is ...

Vacuuming the Lawn: May 2015

http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 26, 2015. The middle of Me-Made-May 2015 #mmmay15. Now that we're approaching the end of May, I figured I better get my act together and post my pix for days 13-25 of Me-Made-May 2015 before they pile up too much. I don't think that brown dress is so pointy in real life- it was sooooo windy that day.that was the best shot of the bunch and my photographer that day had to lend me her sunglasses to use as a headband to control the poof. I love the purple with the scarf collar. I really love the...

Vacuuming the Lawn: Back in the saddle: Jalie 3246 in teal sweater knit

http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2015/05/back-in-saddle-jalie-3246-in-teal.html

Thursday, May 21, 2015. Back in the saddle: Jalie 3246 in teal sweater knit. I finally sewed again on May 17. The last time I sewed was on April 21, so it was great to be back at the machine again! It was mid-80's this past Sunday and steamy in my sewing room, so why not sew up a sweater knit shrug? I knew it was going to cool down this week, and ever since I made the Vogue 1351 dress last fall. I wanted a matching cardigan / shrug / sweater. After loving Jalie 3246. May 21, 2015, 9:21:00 PM. I love that...
