The Blog is Revived!

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, as might be assumed by my silence. Being the multitasking creature I am, a dabbler, as it were, I've been focused on other projects. But never fear! My sewing machine knows no rest...just longer gaps between projects.



Here's what's been keeping me occupied, from the bottom left and moving clockwise:
1. "Nightgowns" for my small daughters. I didn't want to go to the effort of making the full thing, so I just added some flannel to the bottom of these t-shirts.

2. Grocery bags. They're a bit deep and narrow, but as they're made from scraps left over from a friend's business, they were free. I have six-eight more, and requests for a few as Christmas gifts.

3. An apron. You might be able to tell it's well used. I made this as an alternate for my full apron. It comes in handy when I'm wearing pocket-less skirts and want to listen to my iPod.

4. Shorts. I'm not super-good at pants, which is why I wear skirts a lot of the time. But I traced the pattern from an existing pair of shorts and did my best. And now that my husband has tried them on, I have to tear out the waistband and cut a new one. This may be the last time I make pants for anyone over the age of 5.
