What are you sewing lately?

**homesteadmamma** · 10-17-2003, 02:10 PM

I just looked at the patterns I have and the material, and this weekend I'm cutting out a pattern for a blouse for dd. I've also sewing up pj's for Christmas gifts.

I really want to learn how to put a collar in right, so with doing the blouse, I should get some practise.

Are you sewing lately?

I am sewing a skirt right now. I just need to hem one short edge, and sew on some buttons. I didn't use a pattern though so I am afraid this might not turn out looking so nice.

I'm hoping to start a sewing class this winter so I can get good at it.

Well, I haven't been sewing lately unless you count the quilt blocks.

But I have purchased a pattern and some material for a swing coat and hat that I plan on making real soon!

Here is a link to the pattern: http://www.fabricsandbuttons.com/pat...wing_coat.html

OMG I love it Dee. What color are you making it in? Its beautiful.

Believe it or not...I bought a pattern yesterday. Me, the Village sewing misfit bought a pattern. Tis true. I bought a pattern to make aprons. Who will be the lucky recipient of a "sewn" apron from me in the next apron swap??!?

Don't mean to scare anyone but well, oh boy...lolol

CJ, it will be in a pearl gray fleece!

Darlene, I know you can do it!

GO DARLENE GO!

Dee, sounds great!!

Darlene, I know you can do it. Watch for the new apron swap first of January.

Dee- I love that coat!! It's going to be great. I'm working on curtains for the kitchen right now. And finishing up the last of the touching starts quilt- but that is hand sewing.

I am making a "peanut" to go with dd's elephant costume (very frugal this year- grey sweats and a mask LOL) I may cheat and use fabric glue though

I am the same way Darlene. I need an apron and want to make one too, but I need to find a pattern first. I need one of the simplest patterns though, and the free one I found online was a bit confusing

I bought one off ebay last year! I am looking forward to making one for each day! Plus gifts!
Darlene, you CAN do this! I can! I have made a couple things in the past and did ok, just follow the lines!

I'm sewing hems on Pierre's working pants...not as much as much fun as sewing something special like an apron or a nice coat!

I am inspired so I think I will pick up some fabric at work tomorrow and put together an apron or two for myself I really need to be wearing one when I cook and clean because I like to wear mine that I work in.
