Pinterest Fridays…..or Saturdays…

So, yes, I missed a week of posting. I am so sorry…but I did warn you all that it may happen. My therapy sessions haven’t been writing this past week, but with my mattress. Please forgive me.

Here’s what I’ve been looking at this week. I’m hoping to make a skirt before I pack up my machine until January (actually I’ll probably dig it out to have some therapy about Dec 2nd:) Post a photo on our facebook page if you do try any of these out! I’d love to see how you customize them to make them uniquely you.

 

 

 

This is my top choice right now. Without the bow. I think it will work well with the fabric I have. And I am going to try a wide elastic waistband.

 

 

This is a definite “to-do”! I really like the detail. I think I could knock this one off…in my spare time (Anyone have some I can have? I’ve seemed to run out…in 2009)

 

 

I made this skirt. I really like it. It turned out much bigger than it should have. I followed the pattern to a tea. I had to take it in two or three times until I was satisfied tired of doing so.

 

 

I made the “Socialite Skirt” pictured bottom center. It was very easy-if you know how to sew with jersey/knit. It takes practice and a good stretch needle in your machine. The skirt is very comfortable.

All this skirt talk makes me sad in a way. It is pretty much too cold to wear them right now, as the wind is ripping around my house as I type this. I figure if I make a bunch up right now, I’ll have plenty come spring. Or I can just pull out my boots and tights….

(not sure if this is really something I would try…but maybe someone out there is brave enough!)

Happy Sewing (Or getting someone else to sew for you…I know you are out there just wishing you could sew…I’ll sew anything for some Carrot Cake & Cream Cheese Icing…)
