Hi guys! I’m back with another Seamwork pattern. I finished this little beauty a few months ago and I’m just now getting around to sharing it. It was love at first site when I saw this robe in the February issue of Seamwork. By the way, how great is it to have a something to look forward to the first of every month? As soon as I start wondering where the year has gone and thinking about all the things I have left to do and the bills I need to pay, I remember that there’s a new issue of Seamwork to read! And then I start thinking about all the things I want to sew. Which is a never ending list. But, I’m so glad to have things that I want to make. I can’t imagine what I’d do with myself if the inspiration well ran dry.
Refashioners 2016 – DIY Zip Front Denim Skirt
I was so thrilled and honored when Portia asked me to participate in the Refashioners this year. Then I got really nervous because the challenge was jeans. I was so nervous about creating something reminiscent of my grungy '90s days. I really wanted to make something that didn't obviously look like it was made from old jeans. Which let's face it, is not easy.
DIY Curved Hem Shorts
I live in shorts during the summer. And even though my shorts drawer is overflowing, I’m always on the lookout for a new pattern. After the success of my Alexandria Trousers, I had to try out the shorts version. The shorts have a really unique curved hem (I think it’s called a dolphin hem, or am I crazy?). And just like the pants, a super comfy drawstring waist, front pleats and pockets.
