I'm going to take it apart tonight AAARG!!!Have a good day all!!!

What it's December again?

Hello all! My sewing has been non-exisitent for the past few weeks. We welcomed the arrival of a new grandaughter on the 24th. One month early, but she is very healthy and has lots of dark hair. Did I mention that she is absolutly beautiful? I will post a picture tomorrow. Our oldest grandson was named Sterling Scholar in Technology . We are so proud!! Needless to say, it was a great grandma week.I hope everyone had a great turkey day!!

another bwof jacket

I made this a while ago and have never worn it. I made the same thing two months ago in a linen print and I love it. I made the same size but it feels a little snug in the shoulders. I think maybe I forgot to add seam allowances on one of the sleeve seams. Oh well it isn't a good style on me but I still love the pattern Here are a few pictures.

Burda coat

I have been trying on my winter clothes, and they are all skin tight. I hate tight clothes on me!!! Needless to say I'm going to work on some home dec things right now and finish a quilt I'm making for my new granddaughter{ who will be here anytime} . I'm going to put a hold on my clothing sewing untill I loose some weight. I am so mad at myself that I let this weight creep up on me. But I am committed to get this off by the end on January!!!! But after saying that I need to finish my Bruda coat that I have all cut out and the interfacing fused. I found this great chocolate brown wool at Joann's. It is the prefect weight , and I have been wanting a brown coat. I think I will get it done, but I have to loose at least 8 pounds before I will feel okay in it. Here is the pattern It is an out of print Burda. I made the shirt version years ago in black and I have worn it a ton!!
