I said a raspberry lime rickey, but no one seems to know what that is. Morgan’s vote is for black raspberry sorbet, and I think we’ve settled on ‘black raspberry sorbet with a hint of lime’. Long, and not really that catchy…
I started this quilt to use up this fabric — I had ordered a [...]
I know I’ve posted before about my lack of experience using patterns. So far, I’ve managed to create quite a few items without needing to turn to a pattern. However, I did feel it might be time to learn. I like the idea that the pieces are cut so that they fit together perfectly - [...]
I made this shirt over the weekend as part of my “use up all my fabric” kick. I had this piece of Amy Butler fabric - Wallflower in Cherry - set aside for a tablecloth, but then thought I’d try my hand at a shirt. Actually, that’s a bit of a lie, as this was [...]
Ok, so perhaps I’ve gone a bit overboard. It seems lately that I’m working as hard as I can to use up every last piece of fabric in the house. It’s not an attempt to clean it up, or clear it out - no indeed! (just ask Morgan…) - it seems that I just can’t [...]
Just a quick post to provide pictures of the dress that I started here. This is straight from the washer and dryer, so please ignore all those wrinkles (I’m not much for ironing!)
I like the way this turned out, and do quite like the polka dot fabric. I was afraid it might be a little [...]
Remember I said I wanted to make a dress to wear to a picnic this weekend? I suppose I was thinking that I had more time, forgetting that it was already Wednesday when I decided to make this dress. I did manage to buy the fabric - Amy Butler Full Moon Polka Dot in Slate [...]
Oh so cute! I have to say it, even though I was the one to make the skirt. (Nothing like gushing over your own projects…) In any case, I made this skirt at the end of last week so I’d have something to wear to the beach. It’s very similar to the previous skirt - [...]
I’m so excited about this skirt! I had this Amy Butler fabric that hadn’t yet been made into a tablecloth or napkins, and I thought it would make a nice skirt. I was imagining an A-line skirt, but wanted it to be somewhat more interesting than just a straight skirt. I decided to try a [...]
I thought I’d give it another go, this time with a skirt. I have to call it ‘my version of the Amy Butler skirt’, since I made it without the pattern. (I was feeling kind of cheap, and decided against buying the pattern.) I had seen a couple pictures of a few of these skirts [...]
I impressed myself and actually managed to create a garment! As I was afraid of though, everything worked out and it even fits me, which is great… the unfortunate part is that I really haven’t warmed up any to that fabric I used. Morgan noted that it is flesh colored, and says that from a [...]
