My Creative Cadence

I had to do it.

November 8, 2009

I was obsessed. I broke my budget and self-imposed prohibition of fabric stores because lord knows I have enough fabric to last a gazillion years. That $0.99 pattern sale at Hancock’s was just calling my name. All. morning. long. And today was the last day of the sale. Besides, all my old patterns – even [...]

Sneak Peek

October 18, 2009

Wrapping up the blue Ottobre top, here it is on my dress form.

It looks much better with the neck band. Not too bad for a quick afternoon top.
Now I’m playing with fabrics to make a sweater-jacket to coordinate with it. I’ve had this fabric in my stash for a few years and it’s [...]

Ottobre Muslin #2

October 18, 2009

Help! What is with these shoulders? I have no idea what I’m doing wrong here. They keep pointing backward even after I altered the pattern to move them forward. I’m just lost.

You can see where the seam is, and the red line is where it should be.  I don’t know if it’s the [...]

First Ottobre Muslin – Recap

October 11, 2009

This is the end of the road for this muslin.

The neckline does not have the binding on it but that’s okay. I’m not taking this top further because I don’t like the fabric. I don’t like the stretch on it, even though I love the color. It’s just a cheap poly knit – [...]

My Creative Cadence – Getting back in the rhythm

October 11, 2009

Saturday morning, I went for a walk with my regular walking buddy and we walked for a good hour and a half. It was cold out when we started, but with her border collie/sheltie mix doggie, Buddy, leading the way (and pace) we quickly worked up a sweat. I always enjoy walking her doggies because [...]

Sweet Creative Cadence

September 25, 2009

I’m back into some creativity, folks. Yes, this includes some sewing – I finally sewed a better, longer belt for the bathrobe I made my mom last Christmas. It’s not much, and it certainly was not complicated, but I used my sewing machine, and that’s what counts.
I also felt that since I’m sitting around [...]

My Creative Cadence

September 6, 2009

Ah… it feels good to be home.

I have so missed my creative space, my Zen room, my gateway into my soul. I don’t know what’s taken me so long to get back here. Well, yes I do, really. Life, work, family – all that stuff. And my focus over the last 18 months [...]

Project Runway Season 6 Premier

August 25, 2009

I forgot how much I enjoyed Project Runway until I saw the premier. And Tim Gunn? He’s just a class act all the way around.
Gosh, there was just so much going on with this episode that it’s taken me forever a while to gather my thoughts together (aside from stopping daily life so I [...]

Calling All Project Runway Fans

August 19, 2009

Look who’s baaack!!!

Last year around this time, over on my old blog, we had a lot of fun blogging and snarking about the Project Runway contestants and their creations. Get ready for another season full of it – whatever *it* is.
And if you don’t have cable TV or access to the [...]

Amy Butler does Rugs

August 11, 2009

I’m in love. Seriously.
My sewing friends will all be familiar with the name of Amy Butler and her fabulous prints and patterns, but now she’s outdone herself. She’s gone and teamed up with Chandra to produce rugs.
I could have one of nearly all of these throughout my home. Just think how great they’d [...]
