Skirt Finished!

I wore it to an interview and I didn't have my hair done yet so that's why it isn't fancy. Anyways it is so cute! I picked up some light green fabric from Joann's to make another one with that isn't as transparent.

It is so much fun to wear as well when it's windy because it whips everywhere. The most difficult part of the skirt for me was hand stitching the waist band to the skirt. I was nervous about the pleats in the front but when Mastermind showed me how to do it I wasn't so scared anymore.

I got really stuck up about the zipper because I wanted it to look perfect. you see I did the zipper with mastermind and then I ripped it out because I was confused how some pieces were supposed to get together then I hulked out and ripped out every seam of the skirt we had done.

She saw it in shambles and nearly beat me. I didn't blame her. After ripping out all the seams I ate like 7 smores and some ice cream. Then I nearly cried and read a book. I was confused on some parts were being put together because I cut out the wrong front piece for the pattern.

So I cut out the right piece and sewed it all back together. And tada! :D I will try to get better pictures uploaded. I am entertaining an idea of making my own form to drape my work on so that it doesn't keep getting folded or thrown on stuff. Have any of you done that before? Below is a tutorial if you are interested.

Making your own dress form.
Do's and Don't for a dress form.

Heart Blanket

I love this knitted blanket a lot. But it had a hole and I didn't know what to do so time passed and then the hole was big enough for my calf to fit through. I got some remnant fabric from JoAnn's and cut it into a heart big enough to cover the hole. I then applied the same lesson for pleats of making identical marks and then lining them up.

Once I had both sides pinned I started sewing and tried different kinds of stitches and thread colors. I like it a lot. And I am very grateful that I can keep the blanket for longer. :D

V-Neck Shirt

I will upload pics when I get home. However, I have everything done except the hem and sleeves.

I had misunderstood Mastermind's instructions and ended up getting lost.

I wasn't lost technically but you see I had this idea. What I imagined she said was that I had to sew the collar from front to back and it worked fine in one direction but not the other. So I tried sewing backwards. :D That is right; I sewed in reverse. :D




It did not go well as you can see (will upload later). But I was also curious if I could do it. It is not my super power but I am sure there is someone out there with it. :D

The shirt has a v-neck and Mastermind normally does round neck and so we were unsure if there is a right or wrong way to do it and it turned out fine. If you have any information if there is a right or highly effective way to do a v-neck please comment. :D

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

Welcome!

     I am just going to introduce myself so that you know what to expect from this blog. I grew up in the Northwest Pacific and ran from the rain to Rexburg, Idaho to study school. However that town was terribly dinky! I couldn't handle it. So we moved back to the wet and dreary Washington side. Alas, maybe we can escape to a better place but until then I get to study with Megan. :)


      I am a seamstress intern with Megan who is from my church. She is a MASTERMIND when it comes to clothes. She makes the most complicated pieces look easy to do. Hopefully I will gain her speed over time. :) I have been interning for only a few months with her and now she wants me to start working with patterns. So she said to start with some pajamas!

     Who wears those anyways? Just kidding! :D So Tuesday I will be going to the store to pick up the pattern and fabric. :) I am thinking something breathable and light weight. So I will post some pics about that later.

I'm thinking something like this would be AWESOME! I just hope the store has Batman fabric. :)
