I Sew, I Knit.

So today is a lazy day for sewing. I have completed my black pants I mentioned here . Finished up a new skirt from this pattern here , I stitched up view A this time around and started on a stripped top using New Look 6351. Yes, I went against my self-imposed plan of sewing from my stash only because I could not resist the price of the jersey rib knit from Fabric Mart (proof I'm a textile junkie). Good news is, I do have the fabric for the jacket in my stash. Unfortunately resident photographer is busy and this passed work week has zapped some of my energy. I have been sleeping on and off since I go home from work on Friday. I did sew yesterday and finished most of McCall's 6886 , would you believe I ran out thread!! Yeah, I think it time to due a inventory check on the notions. Hey I figured if I have enough interfacing then I'm good, so good figure?! I hope all is well with everyone and create something beautiful this week!

I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. I was able to take photos of what I have been working on. This RTW dress was made in the style as Butterick 5836 Sew and Sew. To many cycle in the dryer made it to tight so now it is a skirt and I love it. It will get more wear now. Here is the skirt from Simplicty 1466 . Such an easy skirt to sew. Fits and the natural waist. This is definitely a go to pattern. This is a RTW jacket that was suppose to go into the bag as well... BUT it still fits great with the exception of the sleeves. So I cut  them off and sewed a narrowed hem and it looks so cute with the skirt! Here is the another item that didn't get passed on. I cut the sleeves off this one too! They got to short and to tight around the bicep so the were chopped off. Here it is with the same skirt and white tee for a casual Friday look.  I will showcase my brown pull on pants next week. I hope to be stitching up a new dress next week. Sewing and Knitting and lovin...
