sewzenmama: April 2009
http://sewzenmama.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. I realized when I was uploading these pics they are all skirts and tee shirts! Didn't even realize I had been doing that :). A boatneck tee (on little i) from ottobre 1/09 the neck was odd and fiddly, but ended fine. Corny (ahahahaha, yes dad that is for you! Tees for the boys. Such a fun print and very appropriate for our location: middle of nowhere Kansas. Ooga booga tee for little i, this is another one of those I can't believe I can buy this fabric reprint! How did that happen?

sewzenmama: Back off Vacation!
http://sewzenmama.blogspot.com/2009/09/back-off-vacation.html
Monday, September 7, 2009. Okay alright, I actually came back over a month ago but have had so much going on that I took an extended vacation from the blog. I may be taking a bit of a hiatus from blogging about sewing and crafting because everything will be soon put in boxes to be moved overseas! We found out that Kev's next assignment is in The Netherlands, we are very excited to be moving and closer to some of my family that lives in Europe. Now onto the sewing. :). Reversible skirt with comfy waistband.

Sunday, November 16, 2008. Little i was in need of some pants (or trousers for those not in the states ;) everything in the stores were either blah or too short in leg so it was time to hit the sewing machine assembly line style. All of the pants are cut exactly the same using the 10 minute pants/one pattern piece method but they are different and fun! Close up of the outerspace and cars prints. That's all for now, had a sick baby this last week so didn't get too much done. :). Monday, November 10, 2008.

Saturday, May 30, 2009. An Ode to French Terry. I have a confession to make, I only recently (like really recently, about 2 months ago) figured out what french terry fabric is. Yup, no idea that my favorite zip hoodie wasn't some kind of weird sweatshirt but not sweatshirt fleece material. Had no idea what it was called or that I could even buy. French terry fabric. Obviously, I have been living under a rock. Once I figured out what the favorite material was called, and hurrah! In a lovely mocha color.

A patchy scarf for baby n; I've seen a couple of patchwork scarves for woman on etsy, and had a stack of charm squares that I thought would work well, the reverse is some textured fleece I had leftover from a hat and mitten set. The pattern is new look 6774. Close up of bodice, i like that the top actually crosses in front and isn't a mock cross. I really...

Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Work In Progress: Summer Play. Halfway through May and the lovely weather is here to stay! I love spring and summer, we spend loads of time outside so I don't do as much sewing but I do have a few projects to share. :). The big work in progress: a play tent for the boys. It's made out of larger scraps of fabric and has wooden dowels and pvc joints. We were checking out the size here. Mama there's no door! Another work in progress, but almost done! Hopefully more projects soon!

Wednesday, January 28, 2009. First Bloom Spring Hoodie. Decided I wanted to make a lighter weight hoodie for spring, I found a lovely pattern for basic tees and hoodies for women and men. And decided to give it a shot. It turned out true to size, so hopefully the men's will be true to size and work for Kev when he gets home. The front and back are two different colors, but i think the layered sleeves and lined hood in both colors pulls it together. Makes the stitches pop. :). I think the only thing I wou...

Wednesday, March 25, 2009. A few random projects. Haven't really been doing much sewing, we've been taking turns being sick this past month. But I finally finished up a few projects so I thought I would share. A raglan style night dress to try out a new pattern. (it's new look but i don't have the number off the top of my head). A fun springy top also to try out a new pattern, I really like this one! Also new look, i think.). We finally had a nice day (with no one sick) so I dyed up a skein of sock yarn&...
