skiing New Years' Day

I've had two wadders in a row, so I took a little break from sewing. Good thing since the Holidays were very hectic. New Years Day my husband my son his wife and their three girls went skiing. I stayed in the lodge with my 13 month old grandaughter Lauren. She slept for almost two hours. It was very very cold Saturday. I think we got up to 15 degrees. I thought I would post this little video my daughter-in-law took of my son and his girls. [{proud grandma]


I do have some things to post, I hope to have them up by Wed. Happy New Year Everyone!!!

CRAZY SELVAGE!

this picture was taken a while ago, because we now have a foot of snow!

I know I find one pattern I love and I want to make it in everything. I found this brown polyester knit at Joann's. It just matches the brown pants I made from an old Burda pattern # 3083. This is the second time I've used this pants pattern. It hits right at your natural waist, so this time I lowered it one inch. I still have two knits I want to use for two more tops from this Vogue 8536 pattern. Hope you don't get too bored, but I love, love this knit top pattern!

I've been sewing for years now, but I have never seen a selvage quite like this one. Have you?

I think I have found a new fav. I really love this Vogue top. It was soooo easy and is very easy to wear. I had this fabric in my stash for about three years. Yes I am really sewing from my stash. It feels really good! I made version C which has a hidden button placket which I haven't done for a while. The fabric is a slate gray polyester. I did Hong Kong finishes on the top but I chose to serge the side seams on the pants. The pants are a very and I mean very skinny leg. I did add about one inch to the overall width. Next time I might add more. I bound the waistband inside with yellow bemberg just for fun. I did not make the belt loops as long as indicated because I didn't have a belt that wide. All in all a very fun project!

This top looks cute un- tucked as well. One thing I really liked about this pattern.

husband was trying to make me laugh.

I should have cropped these pictures so you don't see so much of the room. SORRY!
