I may cut out two blouses and 5 bibs, and then sew one thing together.  If you have seen me at the store, I do make ALL of my clothes and coats and gifts.


I have two lace over blouses cut out and will sew those tonight and a gift sequin jacket I am going to attempt to cut out before I go to sleep.  Most things I make come from G Street Fabrics.  If you haven't been there, here is a link to a video visit showing the many things I make from there.

Light Cotton Jacket, Matching Design No Pattern

Image
  This was a lovely gift of two yards of fabric from my friend who went to Bali. I am proud of how I figured it out and also I had the perfect button hooks to match the fabric, wasting away in my button sewing box. It was a 2 yard piece of fabric with dark blue background and gold metallic design. When it was finished I took the scraps and made a mask and earrings.  Used every inch of this fabric. I needed something lightweight and cotton, so I picked up the piece and examined the print.  It had some lovely design that was in columns I could use for borders, but I could see it would take work to cut it out. The selvage was a nice print of gold, that I didn't want to lose.  I laid out the whole piece of fabric and figured how I could cut the front pieces and the back piece on a fold and utilize the border strips. When there wasn't quite enough of the strips I would block end them with the scraps. In my sewalongwithkitty.com blog this post explains taking a simple piec...

Everyone needs a Hibiscus Free Flowing Jacket

Image
  This is a true hibiscus or Rose of Sharon flower Free Flowing jacket.  As you can see as usual I paired a scarf of the leftover fabric with a scarf of the leftover slinky knit in red. To Look together your outfits can have a catchy pair of earrings, a scrunchy or braided fabric bracelet. I love this jacket with the feathers on it.  I satin stitched the edges of the chiffon jacket to give the simple appearance of serging. I believe the red slinky knit pullover with the red slinky knit pants are catchy with any jacket that has a spot of red. I made this slinky knit top to wear with the feather outfit .The other day.   Now with the new free flowing jacket, I have added slinky knit palazzo pants.    Note the bottom of the palazzo pants has a cuff to add length to my tops of my shoes.  I love the slink of these pants and they have nice pockets and a drawstring added to the elastic waste. I tucked the long sleeves of this jacket into the pockets to sh...
