| Simple gowns for my Sister..One knit and one cotton blend..[My sister is tiny, and she likes the simple t-shirt gowns.. The one size fits all..doesn't work for her.].She ask me to make her a couple. They were so simple and quick.. No pattern, I just traced around and old one, and made the pattern. |

| Juvenile Epsilpesy bow for Callie, She won the Science Fair at her school, and will be going to state. She did her project on this terrible disease of children.

Hugs for my sweet Callie. |

 |
| Turtle's Basketball Shirts My friend, emailed me and ask if I could find some pink turtle fabric to make shirts for the 7/8 yr old girls that she coached basketball?? I searched everywhere... but no pink turtles. So, suggested, that I applique a turtle on the pocket.. She loved the idea. And so did the girls.. |
 |
| I had to make 10 of these.. Such fun.. You see the team is named Turtles.. and of course, each little girl WANTED the shirt to be pink.. of course the Turtle's Ruled the court..thus their name... |

| Singers Perfect Plus Book by Kathleen Cheetham I made the simple button up Blouse in this book. |
 |
| I used this pattern. |
 |
| Blouse pattern was fantastic.. The fit was good, The pattern is made for a petite person [5 ft 2 in]. I am not , I am 5 ft 7. So, I had to lengthen both top and sleeves. Next time, I will add another inch to sleeves. I made the blouse from a cotton with stretch.. Really comfortable fabric, that was in my stash! yea!!! Sorry the photo is not very good.. I have been sick for awhile, and still not up to par.. I also, have another vintage blouse that I sewed this month.. Just need to get a photo..whew.. I hate photos.ha Happy sewing .. |
 |
| I am taking 2 fitting classes from Craftsy. Both are by Kathleen Cheetham. Adjust a bust and Adjust back/neck. I will do another blog post about these classes later. But now...let's get to Sewing for Judy.. I am excited!! |
 |
| I have blogged about this book some time ago. I really like the author Kathleen Cheetham's approach to fitting. This book came with 4 changeable patterns. I am making a button up blouse. |
 |
| This is the blouse , I will be making. It is called, "shapely blouse" It is fitted with front and back darts. It is button up, and has either rounded/square or no collar versions. I will be doing the rounded collar one, With long sleeves. This will be a good basic blouse , and I can see lots of rotation with it. Sorry, I forgot to take photo of the fabric I am using. I have already cut it out, and am now in the sewing process. I have lots of sewing plans for me.. I am just looking forward to spring sewing.. [I know/I know... I must force myself to realize it is NOT spring.. definitely WINTER.. eeeeh it is 8 degrees today!!] This will be for my MAGAM January Challenge. I had stated that I would challenge myself to a pair of pants.. But... my plans changed. I hope to add them either the end of the month, or February. Our goal for January MAGAM was something new to you, or an Indie pattern company. This pattern is an indie pattern company, and new to me.. Happy sewing.. |
