Sew Simple 1738 - Jacket.







I work in an office building that feels like its 20 below everyday, year round.  I wanted to find a pattern for a simple jacket and while at Walmart I came across this pattern while strolling through the Walmart Fabric department.  SewSimple which is a Simplicity brand is only .97 cents at my Walmart.  I have a few but this is the first that I have actually made.  At first glance I passed it up, but went back to get it because I thought it was kinda cute.  Then, while surfing one day, I came across The Fearless Seamstress's version, and I absolutely love it. 

 

 

 



 

 

 

Happy Sewing!

She's getting her Dougie on and so I am.

Oh my did this image give me a pick me up.  I have been so busy with helping my Mom who recently got hard wood floors installed throughout her home and she needed help putting her house back together and helping my sister, I have had no time to sew much.   

I have been too tired to even start a project, but I was doing some blog surfing and came across this animation/gif.  I started hollering it was so darn funny.  And check out her buddy in the background shaking her head.  

She is giving me sewing life, off the sewing machine I go. Happy Sewing!

Simplicity 1920 - Thanks Blogger Sisters

Today I wore my Simplicity 1920 top.  I took the suggestions of my lovely blogging sisters and wore white pants with it.   You don't see my sandals but they are gold wedges, which were a nice compliment.  I hate taking bathroom pictures, but I didn't have anyone to take a picture for me.   I liked my outfit so much today, I did the dreaded bathroom shot. 

Happy creating!

Another Top, Simplicity 1920 View "A".

This top was not on my list, but I needed a quickie project for this evening. This quickie top gave me the little fix I needed to accomplish something, anything.  It actually came out lovely for something i really didn't plan or had no intentions on making today!

I'm trying to think about what I want and need before just making items I end up shoving in the back of my closet.  My plan is to have a functional wardrobe. 

Happy creating!

First Completed Project - Sew Your Own Wardrobe Challenge

I'm loving the color, I'm loving the fit, and I am loving the fabric, my beloved Ponte Knit.  Its not the Ponte Roma Knit I usually purchase, its a Ponte Knit non the less.  It really hugs the body. 

Without further ado, here she is, NL6150 in all her splendor:

I'm thinking a pair of navy blue pants (on the cutting block as I type), and some bone open two wedges (which I own), will make a grand ensemble. 

Happy Creating!
