Flashback Sewing Challenge

Well, back to the 1970's for this Flashback Sewing Challenge, complete with the 1976 Ford Elite!

Megan Nielsen Flint Pants

Culottes, yea or nay?  I am in the yea category and it is getting a bigger YEA each time a make a new pair.  I tried a new pattern for this pair.

5 Point Blouse

Jennifer of Peppermint Creek reached out and asked if I would make this beautiful blouse and review it on my blog.  I was happy to do it and it reminded me of a RTW blouse that I always liked.

Summer Concert Tee

This was a quick project before vacation to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, vacation.  Do you have those projects you hurry to get finished and then wish you had done something differently?  Well, this is one of those.

Red Gingham Archer

The Archer Shirt has to be my favorite pattern and the most made and most loved.

Simplicity 8425 - Floral Poly Crepe

I love this blouse and at the same time think, wow, this is a really different look for me!  Different is good, right?

Union St. Tee - Indiesew Fabric

All year long, I have been working on finding the perfect t-shirt pattern.  I find it very difficult to find a long sleeve t-shirt with the sleeves long enough.  So I am trying out different patterns, until I find the one I want to make in multiples.

IndieSew Cardison Jacket and Key Largo Top

A couple of casual pieces for the beautiful fall weather

Dove Blouse in Red and Navy Flannel

My Dove Blouse is finished and it is so comfy and warm

Toaster Sweater

Time for fall, well the calendar at least.  It is still too warm for this Toaster Sweater but I am ready when the weather decides it is fall.

Ode to Summer - Feeling Blue in Tea House Top and Roscoe Blouse

I am one that loves when the seasons change but I am always sad when summer comes to an end.  I love summer, being outside, my flowers, the pool, grilling and all things summer.  In this post, I have two garments, patterns from IndieSew and I have made them in blue fabric.   I guess it is my mood, feeling blue that is Labor Day and summer is coming to an end.

Sewing For My Daughers

The week of August 7th, sewing for my youngest two - aka the twins!  Meredith received more than Kaitlyn but it is all good.  The above top is a Deer and Doe Plantain Tee for Meredith.  The fabric is a knit from My Fabric Designs.

Navy is the Theme for Three New Tops

I tend to sew in color families, especially with knits.  I feel it saves time as I don't have to rethread the serger, sewing machine and cover stitch machine.  So today, I am sharing three navy tops.

IndieSew Tops and Fabric- Valencia & Scout Tee in Striped Rayon Denim

My theme for June is organization and with this is mind I present my IndieSew Team Blogger projects.  Yes, two tops because I could not stop making garments with this amazing fabric.

Lodo Dress - Mood Fabrics' Jersey Knit

Summer is a busy time for me and I still want to sew or should I say I need to sew.  Sewing is a passion and when I cannot get to my sewing room, I get a little grumpy!

Butterick 6378 and McCall's 7543

Combining two patterns to make one great look is how my top came to be.

Embroidered Ginger Jeans

Embroidered jeans are showing up in spring fashion  and I am jumping on that trend.  These jeans have been my project for a week and I am so pleased on how they turned out.  So be warned this post is photo overload!

IndieSew Lonetree Jacket

Can you love a garment the entire time you are making the garment?  Well, that was my experience while working on my Lonetree Jacket

Archer Shirt for Kailtyn

Yes, Kaitlyn gets another garment.  This time a Grainline Archer Shirt in a Moss Green Chambray from IndieSew

Dropje Vest

The Dropje Hooded Vest from IndieSew is a "I just love this so much" pattern.  Then a concurring thought is why did it take me so long to make?
