BWOF 3/08 Top 111, copy rtw XOXO

Please forgive my appearance in this picture... I have had a devil of a cold since Tuesday.. and I'm looking a little zonked out on cold medicine here!
Anyways, this is BWOF tunic 111 from 3/08. This sewed up quick! I made it from a sheer stretch knit.. a bit to sheer, its needs a tank or atleast a cuter bra under it... I added the little peep hole cleavage slit because my Bald Man doesn't like tops on me that aren't "fitted"... but I knew he would like this non-fitting top if I added cleavage... just a little!
Its the little things I do that make the Bald Man say "sure baby, if you want more fabric, get it!"
Here are more copied "jeans" from an old pair of XOXO jeans I've had for years that were very close to falling apart! I made these from a kind of bushed woven thats really soft.. I have no ideal what the fabric is but its nice.
Even though I've not used denim they are in the 'jeans' style of things...


I made the lace embroidery with my Pfaff! Its was so easy!!! I used a silver metallic and gun medal gray metallic for the lace. I added the hot fix rhinestone touches with my new rhinestone setter...







I admit I had a terrible time with the yoke and waist band of these pants.... I cut the original pants apart for the pattern since they were to far gone to be worn any more... They were so thread bare they almost fell apart and they were all stretched out ofcourse... made things alittle difficult. I used my copied Mudd jeans yoke to help out!


I have to say it was worth it... My XOXO's were always the perfect fitting low rise pants. Now they can live on!!!


Next project... well, its gonna have to be The Bald Mans shirt. He's out of control wanting another R.D. original! And he wants some embroidery on it. I know, how very metro of him!!!
But its things like making him a shirt that make the Bald Man say "sure baby, if you need it, get another machine!"

hahaha

Tunisian and Tapestry crochet on the hooks

It seems that no matter what or how many projects I have going one is always Tunisian and one is always a tapestry or fair isle type with color changes or pictures.  I love this tapestry handbag. It’s going to be The perfect bag for October!! The pattern was included in a booklet that cane with a Simply Crochet magazine from the UK. It’s eating a lot of yarn so Caron one pound yarn is perfect! Cause there’s a lot of it and it’s an easy care for acrylic. Handbags tend to get thrown around a lot so washable with all this white is super important when I was choosing a yarn.  I’ll be adding a liner too. And pockets .. I can not have a bag without inside pockets!  For oh so long I’ve wanted to try the double hook Tunisian technique. I have Lily Chins dvd on it but she’s way over my head at this point! This simple pattern is in Interweave crochet magazine fall 2018. Great pattern to get started with!  The Bavarian blanket is still on a hook and will be a long time because ...

Happy Days & Hard Work!

Hope everyone had a fabulous New Years Eve! We had a very nice one... got all dressed up and went to the 5 course dinner event at Chez Liberty... SO GOOD! I even tried a little dish with 'sweetbreads' and had NO ideal what they were... but it was so good after I found out what they were I didn't even care! Now how many people out there know what they are??? Was I alone at not knowing??? Then we Had a bottle of bubbles... And then, I admit, came home at 11 and went to bed! I was asleep before 12!! and it makes me feel like an old fuddy duddy ! haha !! But who cares! I was all dressed up in a dress that took me 3 weeks to make with a crochet bolero that took like a month!I love wearing this dress and rarely have an occasion for it.... besides I had to get up early the next morning... And face things like this...... at our farm to be.... Now this is actually Sunday when my wonderful parents and niece Brittany stopped by to help.. but the day before it was just me and the...

I get new tops, the Bald Man gets a shirt!

Below is Burda 8116. A super easy tank top with a wrap topper. The pants are from BWOF. This was such an easy pattern!!! I made the below tank and topper in an hour... seriously! Ofcourse I must say having a cover stitch machine greatly speeds up sewing knits. In fact the day after I made these... I made 2 more tanks, another topper.... and the below view from the same pattern... a simple mock wrap top. The jeans were made last year from a pattern I copied from rtw. Anyways for those of you looking for a quick project... gotta get this pattern! Below here is NL 6429. It was easy too.... I actually made this last fall and never got to wear it... I wore it last night to Latino night at the Fairbanks.... good times! I wouldn't mind making another dress like this in some less 'fancy' fabric. Another shirt for my Bald Man... this was his B-day present... made once again using that wonderful Islander pattern. I embroidered a cross on the pocket... Some crosses on the sleeve... A...
