Micro mini swap got a little larger
I’m adding the messenger bag to the MMS – after all, it matches! Tonight I cut out the fusible fleece. I’ll try to sew the decorative top flap tomorrow. I will try to sew the lining on Friday night, and…

Baby’s hospital-supplied diaper bag that I take to day care is on it’s last leg. I use a big backpack style for my weekend bag, but I like to keep that stocked with things she shouldn’t need or want at…
Just finished a 2 1/2 hour session of sewing, after baby went to bed, and finished a lovely sweatercoat with shell faux twinset! I used a print knit for the underlay, and a sweater knit for the body of the…
I really could use some turtlenecks down for the fall already. And I have to finish a cropped wool jacket that I started last spring. But I’m loving the style (even though it came out not as the magazine photo,…
Somehow I managed to wedge in three new pieces of fabric, including five yards of light-as-air, but bulky boucle! Thank goodness I’m sewing a lot. While I was there, I found the coordinating funky paisley knit that went with the…

Okay so I’m at Disney in Orlando and it’s gorgeously hot out. Just like I remember, and love Florida to be. So I’m so happy I sewed a sundress! I’ll be wearing it this evening to dinner, and probably home…
As I was making capsules, I thought, what to do with the red wool gauze? I have a poncho/cape from years ago. But then I saw this and thought hmm, could I make this out of this pattern, view 2,…
I have a coupon for shoes. So, the patent two tone mary jane heels or the tall patent peep toes? I’m leaning toward the peeptoes, actually. And the outfit? The new one I’m sewing. Oh, but then that brings me…
Since I just finished my Summer SWAP (the denim dress and shorts were the last, must take photos of the whole group and post them), I posted a challenge on SR for a micro-mini swap. Three items, six weeks. I’m…
