Burda Pants 7873 & One Piece Dress

This pair of pants was made using pattern 7873 from Burda.
They are part of the Burda Young Fashion collection. I have found that if I use Burda Young patterns for pants I don't have to adjust the crotch curve or crotch length at all !!!!
This was a very easy pattern... patch pockets, the zipper is easily put in because its meant to show....Instead of a fly or invisible. I added the back pocket flap to give my 'backside' more lift! An important thing!!!! Right!
I will make these again but instead of making them skinny pants like the pattern I will widen the legs.

One Piece Wearables is a fun book with lots of easy, fast projects. The halter dress and shrug on the right

was made using patterns in this book... I don't really like this silhouette on me but its a comfortable dress for every day wear.

I also made a top from this book I will have to remember to get a pic of... its so cute... and kinda hot!

I have so many more things to post I've made lately!!!!! A dress, a purse and a top!
Ofcourse I've been working on Christmas presents too... and I can't post them!
I have so may projects to look forward to!!!

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
