August 31, 2013

About a week ago I posted some sketched plans for a fall wardrobe… …mostly black, white and coral… …with some possibilities in other colours! Well, was the last week of vacation, and I sewed up a storm. I’m done, baby!  I spent yesterday hanging out with my sister, who was kind enough to take pics … More Fall Capsule Wardrobe – Done!

Yoohoo! Hi! Hello! Down here! Oh hai!  That’s more like it! And what’s that, ANOTHER repeat of a Cake pattern??? What a shock! 😛  This one is black stretch denim, with a stretchy waistband and linen piping.

Another Hummingbird!

This weekend was sewing heaven. I ended up with SEVEN finished items! Woohoo! I’m back in the game, baby!  Up first: My first crack at the Sewing Cake Hummingbird Skirt.  I love it!

Thank heavens, I finally sewed something!

June 22, 2013

Oh hai! Apparently MMM really knocked me on my ass, because I’ve taken a surprise 3 weeks break from blogging AND sewing! It’s report-card season for us teachers, plus the end of the year exhaustion and getting sick… blah blah blah! Enough of that. Bring on the sewing!  My first Hummingbird! I’m a total Sewing … More Thank heavens, I finally sewed something!
