Hello december

Well hi there, I hope you are doing well. It has been a while, since I posted a blog. Well here is an update of what has been going on with me and my sewing, and a few other things I have gotten myself into.

Yes I am still sewing. Woohoo!!! That’s my first passion, along with fitness. I have a few items that I have made that I will post in the upcoming weeks, need to take photos and add my review of them. Some are summer outfits, yes I know it is full blown winter and cold, but hey I am playing catch up here. The fabric below I used for one of the dresses that I will blogging about soon. Look for that by the end of the weekend.

During this time, I have also found out that I actually enjoy putting together PDF patterns. I know that sounds weird, but it allows me to think about only putting that pattern together at that time. It is easy to let your mind wander when you are creating/crafting and I try not too, but there is so much to think about right now. MoodSewciety has a great selection of PDF patterns, and they are free, so I have been utilizing those to create a few pieces. The one thing I love about their site, well in relation to the patterns, is that a list of all the supplies used, along with alternates are listed, which makes it so much easier to shop for all of your notions and fabric. Here is a sneak peek of a dress coming to the blog soon. I know it’s not much, but you will just have to come back to the blog once it’s posted. 🙂

I opened an online T-shirt/Sweatshirt shop during this pandemic, as if I needed anymore hobbies, lol!!! It has been fun, but business, is a little slow, but steady, so I am not complaining about that. Here is the link if you want to take a look around, www.sixtwentytwo.shop. You can also follow the shop on Instagram. I have also been playing around with wine glasses and coffee cups, nothing fancy and still learning the process of getting the vinyl to stick, it’s a tedious process, but it keeps me out of trouble and off online shopping.

I hope every is staying safe and that you had a great Thanksgiving week! Please enjoy time with family, safely of course, and make the best out of the days to come. Happy Holidays!!!!

Bye for now, time to go Sew Something!!!!

The Tecoma Blouse

Well hey, I know I have been missing from my blog, but Lord knows it feels so good be back behind my sewing machine. I have been working on a few projects, this one I just completed about a week or so ago, but was unable to do photos outside, due to the smoky air here in California. On the evening I took these, well my daughter snapped them for me, the air was no better. I really need to set up a space in the house for photos for times when I can’t get outside.

I was really afraid to make this blouse as I wasn’t sure of how the wrap with the off the shoulder would turn out for me. Well I absolutely love it. This blouse pattern is free on the Mood Fabric/Sewciety page. Instructions and fabric selections are listed for this pattern. You can also see comments/questions from others regarding this blouse.

The fabric was purchased from one of the Fabric boxes from My Daily Threadz, can’t remember which month, check out her site for more details of upcoming boxes.

Pattern Description: The Tecoma Blouse free sewing pattern is an easy to wear, style, and lounge in off-the-shoulder wrap shirt

Pattern Sizing: 2 to 30

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it looked like the photo when completed. I was afraid of the wrap and the off shoulder not looking good while I was making it.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes the instructions were easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked that it is a versatile blouse and can be dressed up or dressed down.

Fabric Used: Linen

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: No alterations needed for this pattern, that’s another reason why I love it so much.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would make this again in a solid color. Yes I highly recommend this top.

Conclusion: I love my new top.
