The Sewing Spot: Mary Ray Skirt Class 2013
http://thesewingspot.blogspot.com/2014/04/mary-ray-skirt-class-2013.html
A little spot of fabric and pattern stashing, planning, and sewing. Thursday, April 10, 2014. Mary Ray Skirt Class 2013. In June last year, our guild hosted Mary Ray as our evening program speaker, and as a teacher for a day long skirt class. DD the youngest and I attended both events- super wonderful! While I haven't achieved a skirt using Mary's technique, dd has! I helped her a bit, since she'd never done French seams, hand basting (which she declared she loved! Posted by sewing spots. Snap Bags x 2.

Sew Fast and Easy. Saturday, December 21, 2013. Simplicity Amazing Fit 2860. I've used Sarah Veblen's book and Pants for Real People to get an idea on fitting. I've read various blogs and there's nothing to do now except for layout the pattern and cut the fabric! I hate cutting into fabric! I've measured my body in places I've never considered before! LOL Waist, high hip, hip, crotch depth, crotch length, thigh and knee. Whew! I think I'll take pictures of that to have for reference later. My pants sewin...

http://sewfastandeasy.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sew Fast and Easy. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. Where am I and what am I doing? I've been tracing my ancestors since 2002 and have come across some interesting information. I'm researching it and can't seem to get away! It appears we have Knights, Lady's and Kings in our heritage and I want to know everything about this new development. Guess you know I'll be away from sewing for a while. I still have one baby quilt to start and finish by April, I'll be back before then! Keep sewing and see you soon!

Sew Fast and Easy. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Another of my hobbies is photography. This is my grandson who can play any position in the infield. Good player!

My new little grandson Stevie born in April. My granddaughter Blair with my new puppy Dawson. Blair at her volleyball game, doing very well! Links to this post. Restoring vinta...

Sew Fast and Easy: July 2012
http://sewfastandeasy.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sew Fast and Easy. Saturday, July 28, 2012. Ordered a Serger - Brother 1034d. I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered the Brother serger from Amazon. I'm suppose to get it Tuesday and will post more as I learn how to use it. I love wearing knits and as much as I like how my sewing machine handles them, I thought a serger would be a wise investment. I found an inexpensive source. Has a good thread on using your little Brother 1034d. I've also found a good ruffle tutorial. At Cole's Corner and Creations.
