The Slacks, new top, new project and babies!

Hey are the Bald Man's new slacks I made last week!!! He loves them and they fit him perfect! I was stressed for nothing!
The pattern I used is Burda 8272
The problem now is I have to start on his suit!!!! I bought an Italian linen blend on the Asheville trip for him.... yes I'm scared of the suit and stressing. I will be using this pattern for the slacks and a Kwik Sew pattern for the Blazer. All dressed up for Chatt-town clubbin'! This top is Burda 8219
In the pic on the pattern the 'peek-a-boo' hole doesn't look that big on the model... on me....
well... seeing as how I'm alot bigger than the model....
Next time I will make the version with the tie to take away for so much cleavage... sexy top though!



Here's my next draping project... its at the pinned stage I've not actually sewed anything yet..
I hand knit the copper belt for the skirt, the fabric is from Panama. I am loving mid drift baring tops for summer.

LOOK!!! My mom has babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Little chicks!! And I'm so jealous! I want chickens sooooo bad!!!! The neighbors in our sub division wouldn't appreciate it though... unless I bribed them with free eggs maybe....





Couldn't resist posting this pic of MY babies. They have new bones here.. sooo cute!


I'm also working a a costume for a friend/client that is going to be SO awesome on her. I can't wait to get it done!
And I made a dress yesterday that was a hot mess... I fixed it but more on that torturous
adventure later... I just can't talk about it yet! LOL!
*********************HELP NEEDED*****************************************
I am looking for a bathing suit pattern that won't 'showcase' my hideous thighs! Its very hard to make a bathing suit that hides thighs I think... any recommendations on a pattern out there????

A Great Weekend!

The Bald Man and I had a fantastic weekend! Friday we just kinda hung around the house.. watched a movie. Saturday was 'going out' night! We went couple of places and then ended up at the Mirage. Its been awhile since I've been there but we told Rach we would come see her dance. Here she is to the right in a bra and belt I made which looks great on her!! I hate to say it but I really don't like watching bellydancers after all the years of dancing myself and watching them. I find it boring... unless the dancer has what I call the "it" factor. Let me tell ya! Rach has the "it" factor! She sparkles and grows when she dances. Most people can learn to dance... but not everyone shines when they do it. I'll be back to see Rach dance again! Below we have a pic of Capt. Bald Man! Yesterday we took one of the boats out for a joy ride on Lake Loudon. We had fun... and some surprises along the way!! It was a beautiful day to be on the lake!!! Next Sunda...

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...
