Lots o' work! Fun stuff in the mail!

I worked all day on this muslin for the Ghawazi coat... its almost done! The pattern I have for it is terrible!! I cut out the "small" pattern and still had to take off about 7 inches!!! Tomorrow I should be able to finish it up and start the real one for the bellydancer who needs it! I also spent time draping the greek tunics I've got to get done... no fun sewing for me today...

On a more fun note..... I got these in the mail!!!! My Islander Sewing systems DVD's and book I won on ebay!!! All brand new! For way less than what they cost on the web site. I love islander sewing dvd's.. its because of they're dvd's I can put in any kind of zipper and make pretty pointy collars!

I also got these patterns in the mail. They will be used for my Swap! I can't wait to try the Silhouettes! It has cup sizes included! Thats got to help with my chest fitting issues!

The Birch Street pattern I actually got last Thursday at the All About Sewing store here in town... I thought it looked nice and comfortable.. but different enough to make unique and fashionable....

But no time to play with them this week!!!

Lots of new stuff!!

I LOVE this bag.... Its another Ellen Medlock pattern. Its called the Karma Bag! My mom and I both took a class at the sewing expo 2 yrs ago and made one... but I didn't like the fabric they gave us so I gave it away.... and after 2 yrs I finally get around to making another one... In fabric I do like! This is vintage fabric from the attic of my great aunt in Nashville.... Mildred. The inside is lined with some adorable Scottie dog fabric I bought at Jo anns .... left over scraps from a wrap I made my mom for Christmas one year. The EXTRA awesome thing about this bag is its exchangeable because of the way the hardware is made.... just twist off two of the little tips... slide this purse off another on... twist caps on and you're off with a different bag! Now I gotta make some different bags to go with this! Which should help my ailing purse wardrobe.... cause I really love this bag! My B-day was last month (big 36!) and this is what mom gave me.... An adorable and much ne

Just alittle hoop action

I think I'm getting better! hmmmm... I've got enough bruises from the hoop I should be better! I still can't hoop on my chest for long... and there's a good reason for that! lol!!!

New Donkey milk soap!

A new soap coming soon! This is Rosemary Lavender Donkey milk soap! Made with therapeutic essential oils, and premium ingredients like grape seed and sunflower oil! Purifying Clay and minerals give added benefits and pretty colors! I’ve been making homemade soap for several years now. I’ve always used the cold process method but after much research decided to try the hot process method. Mostly because with it I don’t add my milk until the end after the soap is cooling, the ph is balanced and the chemical lye is gone. Leaving behind correct ph pure soap.. which I then add my precious and highly skin beneficial donkey milk too. Looking forward to trying it and seeing it there is a significant difference!! On the crochet front.. I’m pretty much crocheting everyday again now that I’ve decluttered all that fiber!! So now I’m trying to get a handle on my supplies and organize. I love being organized!! I’m not one of those people who can stash yarn in plastic tubs or under the bed! I’ll fo
