Crafty Shark: March 2008
http://craftyshark.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 27, 2008. In case of fire . . . Last night the fire alarm went off in our building. My husband (Mr. Shark, let's call him) could smell smoke in our bedroom, so we made haste to exit the building. I thought of stuff to grab quickly before we left, and came up with the following list, in this order:. 1) Our pet cockatiel. 3) Keys, wallet, cell phone. 4) My new extra special knitting project. Shows you where my priorities are. Ps - our building did not burn down. yay! Next to our building.

Crafty Shark: June 2007
http://craftyshark.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 17, 2007. Is having a pattern sale from today to midnight Tuesday. Patterns are $5 each - stock up! Posted by C.S. Saturday, June 16, 2007. I've been working on Vogue 8229 - slowly, but surely. I'm very close to putting in the invisible zipper (my first! Which will basically be the final step before hemming it. I'm fairly pleased with how the dress is shaping up, but there are a few things that I would do differently if I were to make this pattern again. For help. Whatever. Posted by C.S.

Crafty Shark: October 2007
http://craftyshark.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2007. It's MINE, all mine! I've seen a lot of Burda World of Fashion (BWOF) patterns floating around on Pattern Review, but I never put much thought actually buying one of the magazines . . . that is, until I saw BWOF 09-2007-117 made up by these very talented ladies:. Aka The Slapdash Sewist. They're all stunning, yes? On Pattern Review, I found a company. The issue should be in my hot little hands sometime this weekend or next Monday. I'm so excited!

Crafty Shark: BWOF 10-2007-115
http://craftyshark.blogspot.com/2007/11/bwof-10-2007-115.html
Sunday, November 11, 2007. I'm still planning on making the BWOF dress I mentioned in my last post (BWOF 09-2007-117), but I decided to get my feet wet with some other patterns first. This jersey top from the 10-2007 issue of BWOF seemed like the perfect pattern to start with. It turned out really well! Some comments on the pattern:. This jersey top is easy to make, very versatile and looks great! Fine tucks on the plunging v-neckline add a witty detail. Were the instructions easy to follow? Pattern Alte...

Crafty Shark: Resurfacing
http://craftyshark.blogspot.com/2008/03/resurfacing.html
Sunday, March 09, 2008. Gosh, it's been a while. School, um, got a little busy, and I neglected the blog (and many other things). On the plus side, I did get a lot of work done while I was gone! I also got some knitting done in the meanwhile. An online friend of mine had a baby girl two weeks ago, and I made Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket for the little one. I looooove it, and I don't even like pink all that much! The pattern, the yarn, the buttons, everything is just perfect. March 10, 2008.

Crafty Shark: August 2007
http://craftyshark.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 17, 2007. This is my most recently completed dress. It's New Look pattern 6674. My review of the pattern can be found here. I've made two New Look patterns so far, and I think I like them. They're fairly straightforward, and they are very inexpensive. I particularly like that last part. I don't quite understand why sewing patterns are so expensive nowadays. Posted by C.S. Labels: New Look 6674. Sunday, August 05, 2007. Whew It's good to be back home! View F, probably).

Crafty Shark: I'm alive!
http://craftyshark.blogspot.com/2007/09/im-alive.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2007. Between going on yet another trip, getting ready for school to start, and the first couple weeks of school, I've been swamped. There's not much sewing to report. I've been "almost done" with Simplicity 3678 for weeks now, but it's just not getting done. Oh well. Posted by C.S. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
