Lottie Blouse – American Style | Stitch It Again
https://stitchitagain.wordpress.com/2015/07/26/lottie-blouse-american-style
Sewing, Refashioning, and Other Needle Arts. Lottie Blouse – American Style. When I was growing up, the British invasion was in full swing on the music scene. As the youngest, there was already a teenager in the house when I was 5 years old, and the Beatles and the Stones ruled on the record player. In the literary realm, my favorite books were Jane Eyre, Great Expectations, and 1984. Is a free pattern available for download of a pussy bow blouse by Simple Sew. The pattern was originally included wit...

Sashiko Stitching | Stitch It Again
https://stitchitagain.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/sashiko-stitching
Sewing, Refashioning, and Other Needle Arts. In the summer, I like to take time for some hand embroidery. I remember reading about the Japanese art of sashiko embroidery and quilting on the Purl Bee blog and liking the look and wanting to give it a try. Time flies – that was 3 years ago! The designs are geometric, and are often charted and repeated across the entire piece of fabric. A running stitch, traditionally with white thread on an indigo fabric, creates the design. What to do with them? This isn&#...

Sewing, Refashioning, and Other Needle Arts. Author Archives: Stitch It Again. A Simple Dress Refashion. I bought a long dress from the thrift store even though I knew it was too tight for me in the bodice. The waist and hips were plenty roomy. The dress is rayon with a small rose print on a black background. The style featured ties emerging from the side seams below the bust further emphasizing the too tight fit in that area. I made three little changes that made a big difference! Just a few little chan...

Craftsy’s Sassy Librarian Blouse | Stitch It Again
https://stitchitagain.wordpress.com/2015/05/18/craftsys-sassy-librarian-blouse
Sewing, Refashioning, and Other Needle Arts. Craftsy’s Sassy Librarian Blouse. What did I make with 3 yards of cotton fabric I bought at the thrift store for $3? Techniques I learned and followed from Miss Haynes:. To sew darts, she has you reduce the stitch length to 1 or 1 1/2 for the last 1/2 inch or so before you sew off of the fabric, and then trimming the threads flush instead of the traditional method of tying the threads. Oops, not a good sewing job, must stitch it again. I enjoyed and recommend ...

Polka Dot Skirt Refashion | Stitch It Again
https://stitchitagain.wordpress.com/2015/06/05/polka-dot-skirt-refashion
Sewing, Refashioning, and Other Needle Arts. Polka Dot Skirt Refashion. Who doesn’t like polka dots? I saw this rayon, black polka dot skirt at the thrift store, and immediately knew I could make a classic look with it. The skirt has eight panels, and buttons up the front, with a 1 inch waistband with elastic in the back. I had a generous amount of material to work with, which is never a bad thing. Look at the size in comparison to another knee length skirt I refashioned. I’m wearing it with a fine...

New Clothes for Old Dolls | Stitch It Again
https://stitchitagain.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/new-clothes-for-old-dolls
Sewing, Refashioning, and Other Needle Arts. New Clothes for Old Dolls. I went to an estate sale within very close walking distance, and immediately noticed these Kai pinking shears. They were on a small table right by the front door! Before I bought the Kai shears I went home for a scrap of fabric to bring back and test them out, and they were sharp, easy to use, and cut beautifully. I also came away with this vintage and charming embroidered tea towel. He cleans up well! A well dressed nuclear family c...

https://stitchitagain.wordpress.com/2015/08/10/new-clothes-for-dolls-part-2
Sewing, Refashioning, and Other Needle Arts. New Clothes for Dolls Part 2. Recently, I made new clothes for small rubber dolls. I bought at an estate sale. One of my readers, the “sew talented” Samina of Sew Everything Blog. Suggested I make some more. I wasn’t planning on it, but…. I found some scraps of silk, satin, and lace for two new party dresses for the transformation of 2 three-inch little girl dolls who were looking a bit raggedy. Pretty as a picture. This entry was posted in Sewing. Hi, I'm Lis...
