Stitch Me Up: March 2012
http://annsthreads.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. Vogue 1618 Issey Miyake. I finally made this Issey Miyake pattern from 1985. Sometimes it takes me a while to get around to a project! As this is an older pattern, there is only one size per envelope. My pattern is size 14. I folded out 2 inches of width on the top as I usually cut a 10 at the shoulders. It is still very over-sized. The skirt fit as a normal size 14 would. Miyake is so original,. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Vogue 1618 ...

Stitch Me Up: KwikSew 3921 Toddler's Dress
http://annsthreads.blogspot.com/2012/04/kwiksew-3921-toddlers-dress.html
Monday, April 16, 2012. KwikSew 3921 Toddler's Dress. An adorable toddler's dress pattern from Kwik Sew. However, it is not a kwik sew! What with bias binding, set in sleeves, back zipper, gathering, loops and buttons, and 4 different fabrics, it takes a while to create. I think well worth it though. Kwik Sew describes it as "dresses with lapped front bodice, waist inset, gathered skirt with contrast panels, center back zipper, and neckline. The instructions are good. April 16, 2012 at 10:21 PM.

Stitch Me Up: Vogue 1309 Miyake Tunic
http://annsthreads.blogspot.com/2012/05/vogue-1309-miyake-tunic.html
Monday, May 21, 2012. Vogue 1309 Miyake Tunic. Where do I start with this? Careful marking is essential. Be sure to use something that won't fall off or disappear. You really need all those marks, circles, dots and especially the letters. I didn't even see the letters at first as they are very small on the pattern. Also, mark left and right shoulder on the outside. I contemplated leaving the marks on permanently so I would remember which way to put it on! Note I am wearing a camisole. essential. ...The i...

http://annsthreads.blogspot.com/2014/01/i-had-request-for-more-pictures-of-my.html
Thursday, January 16, 2014. I had a request for more pictures of my new sewing studio. I lowered the blinds so the bright light from the western view didn't make it so hard to see inside the room. Just to tease I added a few more view photos. We have been having spectacular sunsets lately. Gorgeous colors over the Golden Gate. There is so much light in this room during the day that I don't need artificial lighting at all. Another window with view of Mt. Tamalpais. January 19, 2014 at 1:47 AM.

Thursday, May 31, 2012. What a fun thing happened yesterday. My friend Barbara and I went to SF to see the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at the De Young Museum. Just as we were starting to go in the exhibit Barbara spotted a familiar face across the lobby space. "Isn't that lady over there with the big glasses the one who posts on Pattern Review"? I glanced over to the bench that she was looking at to see Margy. And Vogue 1274 Mizono shirt. Sorry I don't have time now to write more about them as I am suppos...
