I promise you that Liz and I will share our sewing adventures from over the weekend soonish (maybe tomorrow if we can get our thoughts together and our laundry done!) but today I wanted to share a dress that I finished in January but never photographed until yesterday.I drafted the shift dress pattern from Hannah's sloper and then added an exaggerated peter-pan collar which I am loving at the moment. After I made this dress I got on an exaggerated-collar kick---so there will be lots more to ... View the Post
Coming Home
Yesterday I came back from 3 nights away from home.And while 3 nights isn't a long time, when you are away from your family it feels like an eternity! Elizabeth and I had been gone on an adventure (a cold, wet, funny, colorful, eventful adventure) which we enjoyed but we missed our family's something terrible. (Yes we are babies.)

(I love gifts like that.) And as I was going through some sewing supplies I found the package and sat down to read some of the article.One of them was a paper from a Women's Sewing Club (it sounds so enticing....I want to join!) that was a page full of sewing hints and techniques. I wish there were more, but I will ... View the Post
Elastic Waistband Shirt Tutorial
This is a shirt that I was messing around with awhile back but never finished. At the time I was looking at a lot of 80's style, over sized, off the shoulder seamed shirts. I finished off the top but never put a hem on it. I was thinking some kind of high low or asymmetrical kind of look might work but nothing really excited me so I didn't do anything...for a long time....like 6 months...but I finally finished it up yesterday by putting an elastic waistband around the bottom of it.
