So Little Time?-Cut in Multiples

Find a pattern you like - alter to fit and cut out in multiples...

This is how I have many blouses and free flowing Jackets and pants...

3 is my favorite Number

This is three Jackets that I am cutting out right now.... Earrings are made and one pair is in my ears.


.. the black gray and white pair -There is a new dress pattern on Miranda Mannequin  I am starting to do hats, so I just ordered Harriet Hathead...Sorry, everything is a laugh to me.  I am out of the covered button size I like for my earrings... so I guess I have to buy some more.....

Now back to cutting out the rest of the jacket pieces and I am planning on wearing the blue one today... we will see.... the blogging part takes some time👿

Wore the Blue one.... One down and 3 to go!

Art Outfits

Thank You Customers for Inspiring Me-Let Me Inspire You


So Today I was declared Art-Thank You customers

Lime Green Tubin' Pants, Lime Green Drapeneck Blouse with open slit sleeves and free flowing cardigan out of just Lace...

It all Starts with the Earrings(Covered Buttons) Lace over Green

Feeling a little sinful... I have a few clothes, since I sew everyday... and maybe at least 3 scarves for every outfit?...

and that's not all.....

Remember I have to stand in front of a room full of fabric at 2.97 a yard... so if it looks good and feels good... sometimes I have to buy some too....LOL

And YES, I make something everyday... sometimes the whole outfit... if nothing else on early work days a scarf to compliment what I am going to wear.



And Lookout I am getting ready to head into Quilting-Fullblown

Two Sites in One

Apparently I have two sites..


   so... sew...sew.... one has spaces... and I have been blogging on both between sewing unaware I have two with almost the same title... so much for that

Harem Pants

Image result for k3701 sewing pattern

I made this T-shirt and harem pants... both very easy...
Great little quick T-shirt with a ribbed knit and or cotton knit
works well for under silky sheer shirts...  Pants were quick drop crotch pants
and have pockets


These are really baggy Harem pants... but I thought they were cool... I did not put a zipper in... just used elastic and a turnover waistband tied in the front.  Sorry, I did not take a picture, they were beautiful see through silver metallic, and a rush job... like I stayed up all night and made three items... so--who remembers to take a picture..'I didn't'

Wraps and Coverups


I update my blog pages sometimes by adding pics...  This one will have additions within a few days with pics of the actual item I made.



Wrap directions with two straps and front crossover   <----


This is for the customer discussion at work yesterday...

Of course, I don't know exactly which wrap you were talking about, so here are many...patterns and blog instructions from others.  Looks simple so I will try this one today and put a picture.

So you should be able to put your right arm in the loop^ your fabric will be coming around the front by wrapping under your left arm and then when you bring the fabric accross the front it will then get your left arm in the loop so it will be crossing over the front

Your front will always fit because your loops are always going to be your body width from hanging on your shoulders and the drape and wrap in back is determined by the width of this piece of fabric from loop to loop

                                                1                                      2                               3

The effect is the wrap diagonal accross the front 3


Here are some other easy patterns too:




Short one takes 2 1/2 ... Long one takes almost 4 yds of fabric


The top method is very easy.... BUT for me... I like to be totally covered lightly... so probably the second pattern because it is looser and the usually free flowing jacket pattern I use out of a gauze or net type of material so I feel like you are not looking at my almost 70 years of wear and tear...HAHA

Also... my rear view might not be so great in the easy loop one... .... I will make both and post a picture by this weekend.

Thanks for discussing... and reading...  You help inspire me and I will help inspire you....  Sewing for 60 years and still loving it every day!!!!
