The Yoda Blazer... and a top that barely made it

Kwik Sew 3485
The first time I've ever made a blazer... and it was pretty easy! Not at all what I expected.... so I should be proud, right????

And I would be proud had my dear husband not asked me to make it with yoda Star Wars fabric!
I have wanted to make a blazer for awhile... and I really wanted to make one in fleece when I saw Kit's from Project Runway for the men's challenge they did! BUT.... not yoda fleece!!!

I mean... just look at it....

And he's so darn happy with it! I guess thats what matters....
and it goes with the yoda hoodie I made him last year and his yoda toboggan! See a pattern here???
From a construction stand point I am really proud of it and want to make him another one in normal fabric! My son has also asked for made of white linen.... to go with his Panama hat! lol!!
But really.. I'm just glad at 14 he's asking me to make him anything to wear! Y'all know how teenagers are sometimes!

Here's a top I made last year from this Silhouettes pattern... we'll just say it did NOT work out for me... the neckline was seriously jacked up looking on my chest... anyways I removed the neckline and saved the top....
but I thought it needed something around the neck.. it was so plain...
So I turned to the Barbie knitting machine once again which quickly knit up this beautiful red yarn for my neckline!
Oh... and I really need to make another pair of these jeans! I love these and I'm seriously going to wear them out!


On a non-sewing note The Bald Man's aunt Wilma turned 95 last week!!!! Her she is celebrating with her fav drink a Manhattan!! Whew! Thats a real drink!!! a real strong drink!!




Happy Birthday Wilma!!!!

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

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
