Popover Top - McCalls 7360 w Cotton Twill from Mood Fabrics

This is a great pattern to brush up on sewing skills!  Since I'm back working I need the work clothes (sorry Jane)  This pattern has a great fit, the sleeves set right in without easing.  Collar lays nicely.  I will post a picture of me wearing it when I get it hemmed!

A Summerful of Swimsuits....all handmade!

Thank you www.thefabricfairy.com and Chez Ami for offering wonderful swimsuit knits that have given me the chance to sew all of my daughters swimsuits!  Not to mention the Zaaberry swimsuit tutorial that started it all!  Swimsuits are easier than you think and the outcome is better than you will ever expect!

Liesl + Co. Women's Metro T Hirt

I love this t shirt pattern. Very professional results in very little time.  Create a different look by mixing your fabrics.   The body of this T is a cotton lycra jersey with a good amount of stretch.  The sleeves are less stretchy and a thinner weight.

Pajama Day!

So many cute options for this Pajama Day...which one should I wear?  All custom made by my Mom that is. The gowns are made from the Portabello Pixie Peasant Dress pattern in flannel from Joann's with Jelly Bean font name embroidered on the front.  Chez Ami knit for the top and pants in a leggings pattern from New Look 6639 with ruffles on the leg.  By using a rolled hem on the serger and elastic thread in the bobbin, the hems and gathering on the neck and sleeve edge are a cinch.
