More new outfits, more new embroidery!!!

Take one Cropped denim jacket from Goodwill.... add lace done on the embroidery machine...and

Instant cuteness...

I embroidered a lace cross and placed it on the pocket as well..

I love adding embroidered lace to clothes!!! Thats my favorite thing the embroidery machine does... LACE!

Here's another top from this fab New Look pattern!

This shirt is so easy to make.. and so cute!!The main fabric used came from Panama City, Panama,,, the lace from Wal Mart.

The skirt was made from a BWOF pattern.. very simple.. but I did add a lining...

I made a pair of pants to go with the shirt too... Pants pattern is a BWOF. The fabric used for the pants came from the fabulous Gail K's in ATL. Its a stretch flannel! Super comfy!!

The outfit below.... The skirt came from my mom's stash.. it was a circle skirt pattern panel.. and it just doesn't get much easier than that!

The top is a simple bias cut pattern from BWOF. Its a bit to tight in the bust area... the fabric is a crinkle poly blend with embroidery... I have enough to make another top.. which I will add atlest an inch to the bust next time!

Below....
Love, love this top!!! New Look has the cutest most simple top patterns for knits!!

Notice the blond hair.. this pic was taken about 2 months ago and I forgot to post about this pattern!

I also made the short sleeve version of this shirt in the peach black floral print pictured with the pattern.

I've been so busy working on building my wardrobe with more everyday clothes and more clothes I can wear to church!!

But today I started the craziest thing I think I've ever sewn.... The Bald Man wants a blazer... and not just any blazer.. a fleece blazer.... made with yoda fleece fabric.... lololol!!! I know... so stupid!!!

But if it makes the Bald Man happy.... its find with me... cause if he's happy with what I make him... he'll let me buy more machines, fabrics and patterns!!!!

Just so long as he doesn't wear the yoda blazer when I'm with him!

yikes!

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...

Handworks Crochet and then Some!
