shoebox full of possibility | April Sewing Journal
https://aprilsewingjournal.wordpress.com/2015/03/15/shoebox-full-of-possibility
Shoebox full of possibility. Here is my newest quilt – a shoebox full of various sized red and pink squares. It leans a little too much toward primary red. I intend to put green frames around the blocks, but not Christmas, so I need to add some more pink. I have an idea of wonky pieced squares floating in green with a wonky bright pink square and then green again. In any case, more to come…. On March 15, 2015 at 1:23 pm Leave a Comment.

not so new skirt plus bonus | April Sewing Journal
https://aprilsewingjournal.wordpress.com/2013/10/13/not-so-new-skirt-plus-bonus
Not so new skirt plus bonus. I looked back and I never posted this skirt. I bought the fabric for a birthday present. I spent a lot of time on it because of the plaid. I sewed it, then ripped it out completely and then hand basted it together to get the plaid to match, well not exactly, but close enough. On October 13, 2013 at 8:23 am Comments (1).

Holy Holey | April Sewing Journal
https://aprilsewingjournal.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/holy-holey
I have started to follow Sew Slowly. She just posted about some holes she is putting in her top. This is very intriguing to me. I love the way that quilts wear, so I love the idea of holes in a quilt top. She has pretty clear photos of what she is doing. She is hand working her quilt. I decided to use her technique but by machine. Here is a nice four patch that did not line up the way I would like. I prepared a square quite a bit larger than my intended hole with my stitch line already marked. Cathedral ...

skirt nearly complete | April Sewing Journal
https://aprilsewingjournal.wordpress.com/2015/03/29/skirt-nearly-complete
I almost have finished a skirt. This project has come in under the radar. It is one of my after dinner trying to diet not eat projects. Back in September, I made a bolero jacket. With striped pieced sleeves. That was pattern is from Alabama Chanin. This is the same pattern as this plaid skirt. I made several years ago, New Look 0119.

two new garments finished | April Sewing Journal
https://aprilsewingjournal.wordpress.com/2015/04/26/two-new-garments-finished
Two new garments finished. I finished this skirt a while ago. I do like it, but if I make another garment with this surface treatment, I will make sure the stripes go completely from top to bottom without a break. The over dying was successful in toning down the very bright colors without losing the striking back ground. And they really do work well together and become very flattering. I have a hard time integrating them into the rest of my wardrobe. On April 26, 2015 at 1:31 pm Leave a Comment. Cathedra...

blue quilt | April Sewing Journal
https://aprilsewingjournal.wordpress.com/2015/03/22/blue-quilt
I am starting another new quilt- this one blue. I already have quite a bit cut. I am using my new 10.5 ruler as the guide. The finished blocks will all be this size. I cut squares that will add up to a finished size of 10.5. I am excited to see how this one comes together. On March 22, 2015 at 9:33 am Leave a Comment. Tags: 2015 UFO project.

finished! | April Sewing Journal
https://aprilsewingjournal.wordpress.com/2014/10/19/finished-2
The bolero is done. It took a lot of time but I am very happy with the way it turned out. The sleeves are really over the top! They are a cross between Carmen Miranda and Dr. Seuss. What I learned about with this one:. I used different colors for the lining on the sleeves. Since they were going to be completely covered, it didn’t seem important. However, the bottom edge does show slightly. Next time I will be more intentional about the lining. The double layer of t-shirt is surprisingly warm. I absolutel...
