New Bag in The Works

I have had this nice piece of leather for over a year, I cut out the basic shape of my hobo bag over a month ago.  I also purchased some beautiful bronze studs to embellish my bag, but I can't decide my finishing touches.

New Fabric Yumminess!!!!

I picked up some new fabric this weekend.  Not sure what I am going to do with it as of yet, I have some inspirations.  What do you think?

My First Sew Along

I am a  member of a group on Facebook called:  Sewn Up - A Group for Sewists and Would-be-Sewists.  We have our first Sew Along, and I am excited to say that I will be participating.  This is my first Sew Along and am excited very about getting started.  

The pattern we chose as a group after a group vote is:  B5753 (any view).    I chose view C, which was the consensus for most of the group.  Very simple pattern, I usually make these type of dorman sleeve tops without a pattern at all.   Our finished garments are to be presented to the group on October 22, 2012.  I guess I better get started, hah.

Finished WP, Simplicity 2369

I finished 2369.  It really came out better than I expected.  I had a little screw up on  one of the sleeve sat the shoulder, but it not really recognizable.  I hate that I am a perfectionist, it really kills me buzz sometime. I can definitely see myself make several more of these, especially the Maxi in a funky geometric pattern.

 

 

Have a great day!
 

WIP - Simplicity 2369 View C

I could never have enough blouses, Shirts and Tops.  I own about 3 pair of pants that I love and rest of my wardrobe are tops.  I have decided totally clear out  my closet of anything I haven't touched in a year, which is actually most of my closet.  If I haven't worn it, its gone.

Last night I started on Simplicity 2369 View C.  I cut it out a couple of days ago.  My fabric is a Silky Knit in bright yellow like the envelope picture.  I normally think of  yellow as a Spring/Fall color so I think it will go really nice with with my fall color Pallet.   As soon as I am done I will post pictures.

 

 

I plan to wear it with a nice pair of wide leg dark Jeans.  Hope you have a great day, and I'll be back. 

Sewing Inspiration

I get a lot of my sewing inspiration from not so much the fashion scene, but I do enjoy watching what others wear.  I feel today's fashion is all about how you feel, and I am really feeling this outfit here.  I just love the comfy simpleness of it and the way if flows.  We don't get much of a winter here in Central Florida, so I can see me in this on a nice breezy afternoon, with maybe a little wrap if I get cool.
