New Year: Back to Work

January 19, 2021 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

It’s been a long time since I posted anything. Before Christmas, actually. This blogging thing hasn’t been the easiest for me. It’s been hard to be consistent about posting, and it’s been hard to know what to write. Sometimes I haven’t even been able to get projects done. In my head I have a long list of things I want …

Perfect Christmas Tree Star Tutorial

December 13, 2020December 13, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

There are less than two weeks left in the countdown to Christmas. I just realized I haven’t yet had the chance to wear my velvet Christmas dress I made last year. I’ll have to make sure I do that. I’ve been very busy these days with a list of projects I’ve been working on for Christmas. This post and project …

Cranberry Sauce – Holiday Recipe

November 5, 2020November 25, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

I didn’t realize until yesterday how close Thanksgiving was. I was planning to post this earlier, but a lot of things got in my way and I couldn’t finish it. Hopefully, there’s still time to make this for tomorrow. I know many people consider cranberry sauce to be a staple with turkey dinner. If you’re anything like me, you used …

Green Wrap Blouse – Lekala Sewing Pattern

November 2, 2020November 9, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

It seems things on my Lekala project page are a little out of order. My last two projects I posted about were done in February and April of 2018, but this one I actually did in December 2017. I guess I paused in the middle of making the blue gored skirt to make this green wrap blouse as a Christmas …

Red Silk Sleeveless Blouse – Lekala

October 25, 2020October 25, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

This is the first garment I made for my youngest sister using a Lekala sewing pattern. She needed something new and fancy to wear to Mass, and this blouse is the one she chose. She was a teen, but I just put her measurements into the women’s template and the fit was really good. I made this blouse two and …

Ruffle Collar Blouse – Lekala Sewing Pattern

October 15, 2020October 15, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

After finishing the pattern test for the gored skirt in January 2018, the next pattern I made was this ruffle-collar blouse. I started it in January and finished it in February. I wanted to get it finished so I could wear it on my birthday, and I did. While I was making this I made a couple changes, but since …

Blue Gored Skirt – Sewing Pattern Test

October 5, 2020October 5, 2020 / Kitty/ 2 Comments

I have posted about my first projects using Lekala sewing patterns: the maroon top, the blue fleece top, and the blue velvet blouse. The next project I did was a test for this sewing pattern from Sewist, Lekala’s sister site. When I first saw the gored skirt I wasn’t sure about it. I thought it looked kind of strange with …

Blue Velvet and Satin Blouse – Lekala Pattern

August 10, 2020August 10, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

This is my third project using a Lekala sewing pattern. The first two were my maroon wrap top and my blue polar fleece top, both made with this free pattern. After the good results of the first two projects, I decided to go ahead and try a paid pattern, and this velvet blouse was the one I chose for my …

Purple Velvet Circle Skirt – Free Pattern

July 29, 2020July 29, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

Last year when I finally got to making myself a Christmas dress, I decided to use this circle skirt template and simple bodice from The Littlest Studio. After making it and seeing the skirt, I knew that I had to have more circle skirts in my wardrobe. In February my sister went shopping and brought home a whole lot of …

United States Flag – Free Crochet Pattern

July 15, 2020August 6, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

This is a pattern I’ve been working on since May. I wanted to create a crochet United States flag with 50 stars and 13 even stripes. It took me a lot of planning and testing to create this and to figure out the placement and spacing for the stars and stripes. I’m happy to say I came up with something …
