NL 6519: I Knew It From the Start

By
Hey Loves!

I'm back.  It's been a minute!  I've been busy! But, I took a quick break to make something for me.
Top & Headband: By Me (New Look A6519; Cotton from Wal-Mart); Jeans: Target (Similar); Shoes: JustFab (Reeta)

I saw the cutest yellow and black polka dot fabric in Wal-Mart on clearance (2 yards for $1.87).  When I saw it, I immediately thought about New Look A6519.  It's just one of those patterns I pick up often and put it back because the fabric isn't quite right.  Well, this was the one.

I got home and printed one of the croquis from Golden Rippy.  I took a few minutes to sketch it out.  I enjoyed it so much! After sketching, I knew jeans would be perfect.

Each time I try a new pattern, I have to read the directions thoroughly...usually 2 or 3 times before I start.  After reading the directions, I got to work.  The directions were so straight to the point and easy to follow.  I decided this pattern was perfect for practicing French seams and I was too lazy to rethread my serger! Don't judge me!  Next to my serger, French seams are my favorite.  Once I got accustomed to wrong sides together, it was smooth sailing.


It took me 3 hours to finish this project. That includes the time I spent watching Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce.  Here are a few pics.


If you're thinking about making this one, go ahead.  It's a simple pattern that produces a really cute top. You won't regret it. It's comfy and there are many options formaking it your own.  You can color block, mix patterns, change the length and sleeves, and deepen the back v-neck. I know I'll make a few more.

I received a number of compliments on the color and the shirt. This was a good pairing!

Until next time, Smooches!

What's Hot Here?

Let's Mix It Up

By
Hey Loves! It's been a while! A long time! Life has been so busy. I always enjoy the challenge of making myself something a little different for an event. As I made plans to attend the UNCF Birmingham Mayor's Masked Ball, I decided I'd make my dress. It's a combination of a new pattern and a tried and true pattern. I think it turned out well.  I visited JoAnna's for a little inspiration because I didn't have time to wait for items to ship and Simplicity patterns were $0.99. I saw Mimi G's Simplicity 9370. The cut out spoke to me. I decided that the right fabric could make it dressy enough for the event. I found this beautiful fabric in the athletic section in JoAnn. I walked past it 3 times and kept coming back, so I bought it. It was also 20% off.  I made a muslin of S9370 and decided I didn't like the neckline for a formal. So, with very limited time (3 days before the event), I decided to try to incorporate the cut ...

Sew with Me: Old with the New

By
Hey Loves! This post is a week or two overdue, but it's better late than never.  About 2 weeks ago, I met up with the only people outside of my family who have truly known me all of my life.   They are like my sisters and brothers.   We grew up together. Loving and hating each other from preschool through high school.  It was so good to see them doing well.   Some brought their children.  Others brought their spouses or significant others.   We  laughed and reminisced about old times.  We talked about our family and plans for the future.   It was like we hadn't been apart,  some of us for 15 years. Now,  you know I had to whip something up for this grand occasion.   I went to my old faithful pattern McCall's 6754 .  I made view B.  I modified it by creating a small cutout on the back and only added the elastic to the area under the cutout.  I used a fun pin dot black ...
