http://www.cleverthinking99.com/2014/04/minerva-make-back-in-business.html

How good is that? Sewing attempts: with latitude - petite style. Thursday, 24 April 2014. Minerva make - Back in business. Winter is quietly coming to Sydney and I'm ready for the cooler weather with this ponte mix dress, courtesy of Minerva Crafts UK, with boots. But for now, let's dress for the weather - Australia mild autumn:). Has it all - Vogue 8923 pattern, fabrics and an invisible zipper. No need to search high and low to make this dress. I had to cut each panel out one at a time. 3 rows of checks.

Days turns into Months

https://sewmuch2learn.com/2014/10/19/days-turns-into-months

Sewing Projects of a Frustrated Sewing Enthusiast. Days turns into Months. October 19, 2014. October 19, 2014. I have never used my Brother Sewing/Embroidery machine at its full capability. Sure, I have sewn seams, put in zippers, buttonholes and had even stitched a few initials here and there. I see now that this entry level embroidery machine has so much more to offer. Below are a few things I have made. I made these for a swap in a group. First time appliqueing and much easier than I thought! My machi...

Kathy Sews : Fehr Trade XYT Top (After a 6K!)

http://www.kathy-sews.com/2014/04/fehr-trade-xyt-top-after-6k.html

Saturday, April 26, 2014. Fehr Trade XYT Top (After a 6K! This morning I woke up at 5 AM (an hour and half too early. ugh) to head across town for a race. I ran, slowly, but that's okay because it gave me more time for the fantastic views, to enjoy the weather that was insanely perfect and to chat with so many nice people along side me in the race. I ran the Port to Fort 6k. That looped up to and around Fort McHenry. I've made it before. From Melissa's pattern as well.). I used a contrasting white thread...

A needle for your thoughts. Saturday, 19 April 2014. Ulyana Sergeenko Challenge- Monochromatic Mickey. A while back I stumbled upon a post by the lovely Kristin from Sew Classic. Where she announced the Ulyana Sergeenko Challenge. I haven't heard the name before(apparently I have been living under a rock) but after seeing her creations I was instantly in love. All the feminine lines, the sexy yet classic look. What's not to love! So this is my face. I love this button. Look at these happy guys! The photo...

Dots, Stripes, and Florals. A Beginner's Sewing and Fashion Blog. The Quest for the Perfect Knit Dress: Lady Skater 1 and 2. As mentioned in my previous post, one of the main things I want to make this season are knit dresses that I can just throw on whenever. This was actually one of the main reasons I wanted to get serger! I decided to try the Lady Skater. By Kitschy Coo because there were so many great versions on the interwebz and it’s a shape I really like to wear and it goes up to my size! Along wi...

UNDER ALTERATION: Scout's honour: true love and a fitting query

http://underalteration.blogspot.com/2014/04/scouts-honour-true-love-and-fitting.html

Look what I made! Scout's honour: true love and a fitting query. Once again, I'm just not sure what there is to say about the understandably popular Grainline Scout Woven Tee. Other than it's so darn perfect. I have to admit that at first I was a little sceptical about the blousy fit, but then I was completely taken by Sally of The Quirky Peach's. I am so dreaming up one of those! And so inspired by all the versions created in SownBrooklyn's Kollabora Sewalong. For goodness' sake, and it's still. Can we ...

Well, I started cutting the fabric and suddenly me and my whole room was covered in little fluff. The fabric is something called velour éponge, I have no ide...

The Sewcratic Method: Progress and Squeals of Glee!

http://thesewcraticmethod.blogspot.com/2014/04/progress-and-squeals-of-glee.html

Tearing things apart and sewing them back together again. Progress and Squeals of Glee! Well, I anounced some major planned changes in November and, incredibly, they are coming to pass. I sold my house in Los Angeles. For $36,000 over asking on April Fools Day, 2014. I'm now living in an apartment temporarily. I can't find anything here but I'm trying to stitch up some merino wool tee-shirts and tights to wear on my cycling tour of the world or wherever I wind up. 7 Magical, Inspiring. I am very excited.
