A Seamstress' Notebook: October 2011
http://seamstressnotebook.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 30, 2011. I am so excited to finally get rolling on this project that I just couldn't wait. I pulled the parts to assemble a vest and laid them out. Not pictured: me laughing giddily in the sewing room at 10 PM. Depending on how much I get done at a sitting, I will post the work on this vest in several posts over the next week. Next up - sewing the shell. I have time set aside for this on Tuesday evening and I can hardly wait. Links to this post. More behind the cut. Links to this post.

シアトルひとこと日記: June 2011
http://seattlehitokoto.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
編み物を中心にシアトルでの手作りライフについて綴っています。アメリカの毛糸や編み物本、シアトル周辺の毛糸屋さんについても書いてます。 Tuesday, June 28, 2011. 編み物が好きな人にはいろいろな理由があるのだろうけれど、私にとっては、なんといっても単純な道具、棒と糸だけで広がる無限の可能性に魅せられます。 全然知らなかったこの世界。今のミシンはすごいことになってました。すべてコンピューター化されてて、糸だって針に自動で通ってしまうし、複雑な刺繍だってボタン一つで好きなところに出来ちゃう。CDROM付きだとか、カメラ付きミシンなんてのもあって、その進化にはちょっとびっくり。数年先はどうなっちゃうのかしら? 最近図書館で、「Knitting America」というとてもいい資料本を見つけて読んでいたのだけど、その中に載っているどんなに古い絵画や写真を見ても、いつの時代も変わらずやっぱり棒と糸だけで編んでる人たちが描かれてました。 実は私、手刺繍も結構好き。ローテクなものに惹かれるし、自分のペースにも合ってるのかもしれない。 Sunday, June 26, 2011. でも鶏がらスープと牛...

A Seamstress' Notebook: Sloper drape: One dart bodice front
http://seamstressnotebook.blogspot.com/2013/02/sloper-drape-one-dart-bodice-front.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. Sloper drape: One dart bodice front. I have started on draping a sloper for use with Marie (my size 12 dress form, if you missed the note about naming her in the previous post). For the record, I'm using my own class notes from 2006 and the book we used in that same class. Marie looks lovely in black. Detail showing pins at neck, bust point, and armhole. Then the muslin also gets a little preparation. (Continued behind the cut). The neck and center front waistline. Or well, the...

Newer posts →. August 4, 2009 · 5:30 pm. I’ve been noticing more and more companies promoting happiness and small acts of goodness lately. And I love it! Here’s a great example from Kodak. They’re sponsoring two guys, the “Compliment Guys” to be exact, to drive the around the East Coast giving people ( and animals apparently. Free compliments. They dub their travels the “Brightside Tour” complete with website. Here’s a video of them giving free compliments in NYC. July 30, 2009 · 5:15 pm. I know it seems...

Wake 'n Make: February 2012
http://wake-n-make.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 19, 2012. Like a good enviro-conscious Seattleite, I've been trying to reduce my usage of plastics and non-compostables. I realized the majority of Ziploc bags we use are to hold dry snacks, and it seems like an awful waste to keep buying them, using them, and throwing them away. My friend Eileen stumbled upon some fabric reusable pouches on the internet, and per usual, I decided to try my hand at making a few! Be sure to pre-wash, dry, and iron your fabrics before getting started. With ...
