Alice In Wonderland White Rabbit Costume

It's been quite a busy but fun weekend. I managed to pull this White Rabbit costume together in one day, just in time for our church's annual Halloween party. This costume is the most challenging one that I've done.

Denim Dress

Hello Monday! Today I have a special sewing project to share. DD has been learning how to draft sewing patterns. One of the projects she needed to draft was a dress pattern. These are some of the pieces she did.

New Sewing Projects

Hello! It's been a long time. I am so happy when I get to do something sewing related these days. I hope to be able to do more of it on a steady basis. Up first is this super quick sewing project, an infinity scarf.

Esme Top Finish

I am loving making this Esme Top from Sew Liberated. I do have to make minor adjustments to it but it's such a fun pattern and well worth it to make. My daughter chose this fun print from Cloud 9 Fabrics that was already in my stash. 

Esme Top Take 2

My daughter saw the Esme top pattern and asked me to make her one. I was determined to use fabrics from my stash and I happened to have this orange print from Cloud 9 Fabrics that she loves. On this top I actually made the buttonholes as soon as I attached the bib to the bodice instead of waiting until the end to do it. When the top is done, I only need to sew on the buttons.

Esme Top Finish

WOW!!! It seems like you all loved the striped shirt in the previous post. I've got hundreds of views from it. Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Onto the Esme top from Sew Liberated. I am so happy to finish it today. The pattern was quite simple. I have some tips to help make it easier for those who would like to give this pattern a try. Please note that all opinions are my own. I am not paid to review this pattern. I bought it for my own use.

WIP...Shirt

I've finally finished this garment. I have done buttons before but only one at a time so this was definitely a challenge, but once I got going it was actually quite fun. To recap on this shirt, I used this stripe print from Sarah Jane Studios. I believe this line is retired, but I am sure you can still find them in various online shops. I also added a red Kona solid for the collar to give it a contrasting look and break up the stripes.

WIP...Adult Garment

I am posting this WIP a day early while I get the chance. I haven't shared much when it comes to garment sewing since I share a lot more of my quilting on this blog. I started sewing in Home Ec which seems like eons ago. I remember the first shirt I had ever sewn. It was a red and white striped top. I still have a picture of me wearing it. Since then I have sewn various clothing over the years.

Fashion Sewing

 I have been doing some clothes sewing lately to add to my wardrobe. I love pairing knit fabrics with lace. It jazzes up a simple t-shirt instantly. I love the feel of these knits. They are so soft and drapes beautifully.
