Spring Sewing


I have recently completed a few projects. I made this shirt for sizing. I realized after making it it was to large for me and kind of boring. I decided to add the embroidery to the shirt and it made a big difference.


The next is from the same pattern but one size smaller and a different type of fabric. The first shirt (right) was from a linen that did not seem to drape well. This shirt is made from a lighter weight rayon fabric. (Left) I love the drape of this shirt I wore it to a dinner Saturday night and got quite a few compliments. I don't think that would have happened with the solid lilac.

My last project was some pillows. One of my other hobbies is spinning. I have some fiber that consisted of second cuts. The fibers are very short. After I washed the fiber, I needed to find a use for the wool. I made some casing then I made some covers. Here are the end results on the right

My next project is going to be a shirt dress for summer.

Welcome to my blog. I will be sharing some of my projects that I complete. Sewing is my passion. I love tailoring and sewing in general. Because of where I live, I have easy access to New York City and Philadelphia. I also have a fabric store near me that sells wonderful fabrics very cheaply.
