"Oops I did it Again!"

You can't hate the bad 90's pun there. :D

Check out this lovely thing right here. I was busy cutting out my pieces when there seemed to be a lost line. I know what I usually do to lines like this; that is cut them.

Looking at the piece's I couldn't figure how it would benefit, so I texted Mastermind but it got garbled and I took a risk.

Well, bad move on my part. You see this is the neck line and you are not supposed to cut a line in it but rather mark it for the seam point. Ah. That's okay we remedied it by taking the v lower which will still stay at a modest dip thank goodness. Can't get too crazy yet. ;)

On a happy note I used up my first little needle box! :D I thought of keeping it but it would only take up space I could use towards more: needles, thread, lace, etc. So I am dedicating this post to my little milestone instead. It has taken a few projects to get through them all but I figured it out. :D

V-Neck Shirt Update

Don't we all hate moments like this. I mean you look in the mirror and realize there is too much fabric and too little in other places.

Upon discovering how to tailor clothes and remake the patterns to my  shape I have discovered that my right shoulder is lower than my left. Who knew! The amazing things we discover each day.

If I had been left ignorant of this knowledge I could have caused a funny pucker, fold, or weird stretch as our lovely example is showing off. I would like to thank the people of Wal Mart for their great fashion don't examples. :D

We got everything sewn except for the arms which I have been waiting on and the edges. I want to focus heavily on the arms because I hear this causes many headaches. Enjoy your week and I will see you next Thursday.

V-Neck Shirt for Star Wars Pants

Well, I had hoped to finish most of it yesterday but sadly I was trying to bake rolls and sew at the same time. (Not the brightest idea I've ever had.)

 

Shirt A is our goal. :D We can do it! We will make the sleeves shorter though because after cutting them out and laying the pattern piece against my arm it seemed rather long. Better to have more fabric than not enough.

 

Silly me! So I did get everything cut out, marked, and aligned to be sewn together and I wasn't paying attention while sewing; it wasn't feeding through but pulling it beneath the dogs and amounting to a thread and fabric mountain.

In this picture I had already tamed a bit of the beast but I will tackle it more on Saturday or Sunday.

Such a hard lesson to learn. :/ But I have had fun learning more about my sewing machine such as what North is on it. I was tempted to draw a compass on it but I figured not. Also, I have learned it takes a lot of effort to get a true 1/4 inch seam.

I had to measure from where the needle is to where I need the fabric to follow. I placed some yellow tape on my sewing plate to help. I cannot figure out how to make my needle move left or right which will have to be discovered eventually but my current research came up blank.

No worries I can still manage the 1/4 seam it was just interesting how involved it had to be. :) I rocked out to Eminem, Beethoven, and 80's rock while sewing & baking. Enjoy your Easter weekend!

Star Wars Pajamas!

Woohoo! :D

I am so glad to have finished the darn pajamas pants. What, a month later?

Well you see I work two jobs and Mastermind is a full time mom so between our schedules it gets tough. But we iron things out. :D Bwahahaha bad pun. 

I am accompanied by our cat "Boo" he is a very serious cat and takes his image to a silly level. 

I ended up having to reinforce the back seam because even though we added more fabric it wasn't enough. Hahahahaha.

Next is the PJ shirt which is a simple V-neck with short sleeves and long torso. I love long shirts it relieves so much worry of showing off the unmentionables. :/

My hubby now wants Star Wars PJ's. I still have to finish his bath robe. . . . I'll get on it maybe Sunday. You'll find out! :D

Batman Pajamas!

These are my favorite pajama bottoms ever! They are so comfy and Batman style. :D

Mastermind said I did a fabulous job! :D Woop! woop!

Batman looks so awesome! After all my mess ups I am glad I still finished the project. I learned a lot. Now the Star Wars ones are not featured yet because when I bent down to grab the cat it ripped in the back. Oops. Lol. So I have to fix and reinforce that area. We are making the knit top for the Star Wars pants. Next week we won't have class because it is Spring Break! :D 

I will post about my progress on the Star Wars pants and shirt. Hope you enjoy your week. Thank you for all your support and cheery comments! :D
