Closing this space Jan 10. Ive been on typepad since 2006 and I love it! However Im going to shut this space down on January 10.

Well this is an unexpected bonus. My new sparkly linen top works very well with one of my old favourites. This skirt was recently rescued from the depths of my wardrobe. The Fabric Store also has an excellent and extensive selection of Liberty.

Cheap and Easy Holiday Gift Anyone? 1 packet of Wright Bias Tape, Extra Wide, Double Fold. I eyeballed the cut out. The top should we wide enough to fit your head through and the bottom of the armhole should be around the waist. Every towel will be a slightly different size so use your best judgement. I folded the towel in half the long way to cut the other armhole. Switch to a stitch in .

I have an office job and crave a creative outlet. So I started sewing! I Started a Podcast. Skipped the jacket I last blogged about. Moved on to a top that is a perfect match for a previously stitched skirt. I love it and will blog it.

Tales from the Sewing Studio. Remember the dresses last year with hems made with horsehair braid? Well, Wtoo has done it again in Rowena dress. What is not apparent from just looking at this beautiful skirt is that it is just many layers of circles and offers no great or easy way to bustle them up to be pretty or simple for the bridesmaid to handle. You can see the safety pins buried under all the layers.

You know how I said sewing is king during my weekend hours. I am so addicted to this pattern. I forgot how much I like knitting sweaters. The funny part is that this easy peasy top grew legs! So with about 30 minutes to go I set about measuring and cutting the requisite bias tape using a method I saw on Pinterest for making bias tape using masking tape as a guide.
