The world through rainbow eyes. July 18, 2015. The Lines In Her Mind. Her hands are tiny birds that fly from here to there. The nimble fingers are bird wings that fly her to this wall, then to that one, over her shoulder to the counter next. 8220;She’s always dancing,” we tell people, and smile. We think of her inability to sit still as a precocious mind unable to be quieted, always moving. So she moves with it. 8220;Why are you doing this? 8221; I ask her. “Is there some reason? I hold the tiny 6 year o...

Full Bust Adjustment (FBA). Gertie’s Coat Dress FBA. Who is behind this? What else do I do? Fitting, Draping, Designing. The Vintagey Hawthorne Dress. Asymp; 19 Comments. I love this dress! I also chose not to overfit the front of the bodice- which meant that I wasn’t going to take in the bust- a hard thing to do, I must add, but a thing I have to do as of late just so I don’t overfit. Are you into overfitting? Do you pick and pick at a dress until you can’t anymore and call it perfect? Asymp; 39 Comments.

So, tonight I took the StudioCherie babydoll top that I’ve made a couple of times (3 to be exact) and added length and width to the front and the back to create a waterfall dress- mullet hem, really. It’s a totally different look than the one I usually sport. What do you think? What do you think? Click to share on Tumb...

That thing killed my little sewing machine. That sewing machine will never be the same. The tension is so off, I have it normally set to 9 on the top dial. Can we have a moment of silence, please. First wristlet I made was done from Eccino linen. I love linen for these wristlets. I kinda went overboard showing what &...I als...

Tybalt: king of cats. Make your own way. Saturday, 27 April 2013. Yay, I made it to the opening of Sewing Bee Lauren's new shop Guthrie and Ghani. I thought I wouldn't get there on time to see the ribbon being cut as I'd been on call and so had to go to work in the morning. (I even saw Sandra who was also working and had a little chinwag about the final! Luckily the night hadn't been too busy so I was able to get off again fairly quickly. Because their ladies had made them! Comes to visit from La France.

Vintage Sewalong of 2011: January 2011
http://thegreatvintagesewalong.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. Vogue 7044 - The coat-cape continues. There have been a few setbacks in my cape-coat-cape, I'm sad to report. First, I can't seem to get past the interfaced sleeves issue. Second, I threw away my scrap fabric. I cut out the center back facing piece. Genius. But I have managed to plod forward, despite all odds, and hope to have something pretty to show for it soon. I wrote the gory details, as well as a little tip on completing bound buttonholes, here. She did a wonderful job!

Friday, July 5, 2013. A swimsuit for me. I was planning to make myself a few swimsuits this year, so when Heather. Released the new Bombshell Swimsuit. Pattern I was ready.

Wednesday, July 3, 2013. And used that to fix it. I should have started with this pattern to begin with! Was purchased at lowpricefabric.com. Fasting agai...

This was the blog of a blacksmith. Soot Happens, but you clean yourself up when you need to (even if it takes years).
