Vogue 7997 ……… another comfy, classy top.

Vogue 7997

Vogue 7997

Working on those knit patterns that have plagued me for ages. This one was very easy, just as it suggested on the cover. It can be dressed up or down which is what I like about it. And of course, its comfy!!

I have a few comments on the directions: the elastic chart suggested an amount more than the entire length of the collar, and equal the waist sides. Hmmm, how or why would I cut a piece of elastic longer than the fabric to which I will be gathering in?? Hmmm, so I decided to cut collar sides by barely laying the elastic in the casing and gently pulling it and cutting where it fell. This was still too much (as only really detected when completely done), but so was the amount they were suggesting. So, take your best shot at how you would like to wear the top. I will say that the side collar which I almost ….almost cut the elastic in half the amount, I would next time not be so enthusiastic. (It said 11 inches and I cut 6. Next time I would cut it to about 8-9″ but definitely not 11 since that is two inches either side of top and bottom!???)

I will be making more tops from this pattern (sleeveless next), just to get the hang of knit fabrics, and the style is really nice. Looks great on any body! Enjoy this comfy top and be guaranteed a lovely kiss!

Butterick 5497 so comfy!

Butterick 5497

Butterick 5497

I had to get over my fear of knits and picked up some knit fabric at a garage sale (of all places) and thought it the perfect opportunity to crank out some fun tops. My goal this year is to start making ……most…..of my clothes. Yeah, what am I thinking?? Well, I’m thinking my clothes will be more comfy, last longer than three washings, better fitted (and looking me thinks) and walkin my talkin! If you know what I mean.

This pattern is very easy.  Even if you are terrified of knits like I …was. Getting that ball point needle (or jersey needle) is a plus. Having a serger is yet another plus. And I don’t think I would work with knits without one. Really the serger is an ideal knit friend.

Butterick 5497

When sewing straight seems I still didn’t like that I could see the wobbly threads if I pulled the fabric ever so slightly but it did get better. Also, if you pull the fabric as you sew it on the sewing machine, your 5/8″ seam will be more than a 5/8″ seam when you release. So I sewed the straight seams ever slightly smaller than a 5/8″ seam so that when the fabric was not pulled and laid flat, the seam was then 5/8″. Making sense? If not, sew a few on some sample fabric and get the hang of it.

Rule number one: Do measure yourself and the places on the patterns where you are to make adjustments so that the hips, bust, and necklines line up on you perfectly. You will not be disappointed taking the small amount of time in doing this. (Forgive if I am preaching to the choir here)

Back 5497

Back 5497

Rule number two: Serge all sides of all pieces. This should work for most pattern pieces unless you know you’re going to be trimming something down. Which I thought I would serge both seams later……so better to have them done just like I read to do!

This is one comfortable little top. Shouldn’t take you more than about 4-5 hours start to finish. I didn’t exactly time myself, and it took about three months since I had cut it out, moved the studio, FOUND this pattern again and finished it up. Will time better this year so that we all have an idea on time frames for garments. Whew.

Butterick Pattern 5658……and Fabmo fabulous!

Butterick 5658

I found a perfect pattern for all of you who have lots of little bits of fabric, but not exactly enough to make the something or other that you have been wanting to use your fabric on. This pattern is ideal for a little bit of this with a little bit of matching that.

If I am not making any sense, let me put it to you this way. Samples that compliment samples and a great way to get some of that favorite fabric to good use. This pattern is a great blend of opposites, or compliments. As you can see by my use of this. I had two great pieces of fabric of identical patterns but of different colors. So I could stop trying to find something small for both of them and just combine them. The lining is way too busy for my tastes, but the colors were gorgeous and I figured my wallet, phone, and accessories were going to blend it all in!! But you get the idea. This is not the pocket (in the lining) that came with the pattern. The bordered embroidery was so beautiful I just ran with it! Even the little side pocket gold lining piece is perfect for it! All from Fabmo samples.

If you are used to making purses, this is a simple one. Although, when it came to sewing all the layers of the strap over the pockets and pouch it was really thick. Two needles later I got this done. But my machine is not good with heavy duty sewing. If yours is, this will be a breeze.

A Peek at My new children’s line….Japan…and garden goodness.

Dolly Ruffle

A lovely customer of mine asked me to make a matching apron for her daughters birthday last month. Now, why hadn’t I attempted this one before? I must have been really distracted but lucky for me I was happy to oblige and lo and behold I came up with a darling new item for all my customers.

Recycle old Files into pattern pieces

Recycle old File Folders into pattern pieces

It was last years Fabmo gathering that I first began my children’s wear items, but only recently began to take it all more creatively down a new path. Delightful little creations for toddlers and children. They are so much fun to make, and I can make so much more of them! What took me so long!? ;-)

Also, for you recycling seamstresses out there, I found a great new (for me) product to help me make my patterns with. My old file folders. They are still durable enough and large enough to make cut out pattern pieces. They are not as fun as the plastic I use for my patterns but for smaller items they are perfect. And who says you have to make tons for it to last. I use chalk or pencil markings for my layouts and it holds nicely.

When making children’s clothes, a lot like dogs clothing, having smaller pattern pieces one has a lot of room to produce so many creations! It reminds me of making doll clothes as a child, though for everyone’s peace of mind, it’s a good thing I have gotten better at it from those days.

And remember, recycle everything you possibly can. I bet there are more items in your home and office that can be donated, recycled or reinvented. And shop local, find a way off the grid and stay safe. Our hearts are with Japan as they begin to grasp the devastation of this recent earthquake. Prepare for changing times….

Nine days until Spring is official! Don’t wait much longer to start your veggie garden! Here are some great Heirloom Seed Company’s to get your seeds from:

www.seedsofchange.com

www.territorialseed.com

http://survivalistseeds.com

There are plenty out there! So dive in. Give that compost bin and good flip too!

We put on some jazz music and made some more of that amazing orange and cranberry bread. Then went back to cutting out more cutie putootie aprons for little ones and Leprechauns.

Bon Appétit!

These were the other dresses I made with just a few different styles. A touch of rick rack here, a bit of filly trim there! Just something to get some mileage out of that small remnant.

Then I had one with just a tad bit more for a sleeve, and viola! Easy to make, great for Mom’s wanting to make something hand made for her girls.

I tailor tacked these tucks (say that three times fast!!) but if you have another more current way to make your markings do share. I like the tacks though it is more time consuming that way. Way back when we used the wheel to trace them onto the fabric. I am sounding prehistoric here. Boy were those the days.  Wink not!

I loved the sleeves I added on this and thought it made the dress much more wearable. But either way, it is a great beginners dress to make. Use your trims up if you have some laying around in your sewing drawers. You barely need more than a yard and the quality of trims are not what they used to be. So go for it.

Here are a few other shots of this dress. Enjoy.

And Lastly, this here shows you the size of the pieces of fabric that I have to contend with to get these designs out. I was thrilled to be able to piece together those little purses, but most I couldn’t get sleeves out of so I was grateful to this pattern for letting me sneak in the designs and add some touches that I haven’t used in ages.

Since the weather has gone bad, it’s such a great opportunity to create some beautiful clothes for spring.

Here’s to staying in and creating.

Cheers!

Simplicity 2469…..soooo cute.

Simplicity 2469

Simplicity 2469

I can’t tell you how fun this little ditty was to make!! I made about three of them. Two dresses, one top and matching pants! Yes, it was Fabmo samples which is why I could only get the dresses and not the darling matching jacket. But hey, no complaints here. Just loved this little dress. I can’t even remember the last time I sewed with elastic!???? Oh, yes I do I made hair scrunchy’s back in 199somethings? Hmmm. Yes, and I even still have a few left!! And I have almost worn out the elastic. But that is quite the mileage. So I was slightly intimidated at first (what was I thinking……I hadn’t event attempted button holes…….not fun!), but like all riders once you get back in the saddle, 5th gear comes effortlessly.

One thing that you will notice on this pattern that I wasn’t thrilled with following was the gathered shoulder straps. For some reason, it seemed like it would be more comfortable to the intended to not have a knotted bump. And hence I left out!! But feel free to design however your heart desires.

Happy Sewing!

I had originally bought this pattern for two reasons: my friends daughter and secondly the purse was a perfect size!! This dress is so easy that I highly recommend it for beginners. It has been years….eons since I made clothes this small. Brought me back to doll clothes making. This you can make in no time. Must have taken me from start to finish (I never include searching for and bringing home fabric) about 4 hours. Hmmm…..now that I think of it by the time you patiently lay it out, cut it out, then sew it together…….it must be about that. At first thought you think it takes an hour, but by the time you sew the final button on it, it has been a great rainy day project.

Purse & Dress

Purse & Dress

This purse and dress were made from Fabmo interior decorator fabrics so I had to piece the purse together. But unless you were the one making it,  you really wouldn’t have noticed it was not to be pieced this way. See for yourself. I needed to piece the strap and the inside center band. So cute. It didn’t call for a pocket in the purse, but it goes against my religion to not put one in.

Inside Purse

Inside Purse

I made 4 of these dresses changing the pockets out, and working on slightly different variations. My mothers button box had these fantastic gum ball buttons that went so perfectly with these that I almost sold all before being able to share and photograph.

I love this pattern and want anyone with little girls to go for it!! It’s a day project, which are always my favorite to towte when encouraging fellow seamstresses!

SEWING TIP: I serged all seams before sewing them together. Makes it so easy to whip it up and look so professional. Yep, it’s true. Unless you want to french seam them, this makes a lovely clean finish.

Sew away!!

Was thinking it’s time to get out those Fabmo samples and get some bags made for summer. I have had my eye on this one bag to try for a while and I finally got a free minute…..rather a few hours to crank this one out.

New Look Pattern #6841

My dog Jessie had other ideas when the pattern piece went flying in the air. It was rescued from the jowls of a canine grinning, but not without calling damage control. Where would we be without Scotch tape? Or furry fashion designers? woof.

Here you can see it was a pretty simple design, though it needs a few tips from Miss Chanteuse to make it a truly darling bag.

Two tips for making this bag. My customers would have me publicly flogged if they don’t get an inside pocket in their bags. I truly agree, but not with the flogging part.

New Look Pattern #6841

New Look Pattern #6841

Next the shoulder strap is all wrong. They have you fold over the strap a few times (without putting interfacing into it……for posture….of course) and the seam then gets to hang on the inside and dig into your shoulder.

New Look Pattern #6841

New Look Pattern #6841

If you put more things in your bag than you are supposed to you will agree. Once that seam gets comfy, you won’t be. Do I sound like the Princess and the Pea? Good! You will love me for it!

Also in the future, or rather the next one of these pretty ditty’s, I will top stitch the top of the outside side pockets. As you can see I also top stitched the front and back top of the bag.

And if you really have an industrial Juki or similar machine, which I don’t, you might want to topstitch around the bottom curves of the bag on both sides. It will give it a really professional look. It also makes the seam sit tight up to the rims for a stronger structure. Watch me now………

I have a few of the Fabmo Seashell samples that I thought would make great little beach bags or pool side bags. You know………. the book, the suntan lotion, the goggles, etc, etc! Ahhhhhh summertime!!

Now one last thing. I cannot find my grommet and I knooooooow it’s here somewhere (studio has been moved…….again……) but I wanted to share. It will be so cute with the side cording finished. Very beachy!

It’s an easy bag. I only miss putting in my heavy duty Tap Plastic bottoms and being this bag is curved it just wasn’t conforming. No feet needed. But once you load this bag up, it really doesn’t need it.

Eva Cassidy’s “Imagine” album………great for finishing my work. ;-)

PS….can you believe it has taken me 4 years to put the labels on the “outside” of the bag????? I kinda like it!

Fabmo Green Bag Giveaway, enter to win!

Fabmo Market Bag

Fabmo Market Bag

Yeah, my first give away!! What took me so long? Ah, this is sure to become a habit! This bag turned out so lovely that there was no way I was taking it to market. Not to mention, it’s humble beginnings began at …..the infamous Fabmo! Free Designer Fabric Samples.

If you have never heard of Fabmo in Mountain View, California, you owe yourself a chance to visit this fantastic little find.  While Fabmo has been around for over 10 years, I only just discovered it over a year ago.  When my sewing began to take over my life!! (Sooo did not see that coming. But I digress.)

I am happy to share with you all today this must see spot on your travels (especially if you are creative in any small or large way).  It’s not just fabric! Head on over to their website and meet Hannah and Jonathan (founders) at www.fabmo.org and hear more of their wonderful story of how they began collecting fabrics, wallpaper, etc and where they are today in a new distribution center.  Their love of repurposing fabrics that would generally end up in landfill (I kid you not! High end, interior decorator samples of ALL sizes) could be a small documentary for the crafty at heart. Not to mention they are the kindest of folks you could ever meet!

When I was there last year I picked up this beautiful little sample of linen (see photo at right) and since the size

Fabmo Market Bag

was the “exact” size of the green bag pattern I made a few weeks back, literally what else was I to do but shave off the bottom corners and finish it off as a stunning large to medium market/travel/you name it bag. There was hardly any left to tack onto the interior pocket, but in the name of design sake I have to tack it on. Like wearing jewelry or like wearing socks, you just feel better!

As you can see I found a wonderful matching fabric for the lining and straps at Joanne’s and left off those ridiculous tabs from the previous green bag.  Also one thing that I really like to do to my handbags, is to top stitch the bottom of the bag (shown below prior to the stitching). All I do is with the seam ironed open flat,  top stitch 1/4” on seam and gives it a nice design touch. I think it helps reinforce the bottom in the event you overload your bag! Somehow I have lived this long and not taken out a shoulder, but I better not say that too loudly.

I loved how this bag turned out. Very Crisp, elegant and yet casual. A great gift and my first give away.

The lucky winner will be drawn after I have 50 comments entered. Once that happens, my associate will draw a number between 1-50!

There are two blogs, Word Press and on the website, so it won’t be so obvious who the surprise winner may be….at first! So, gals and guys stop being so shy. Win this beautiful bag with compliments from Fabmo, Hannah, Jonathan and myself!! What a team. A perfect gift, beach bag, market bag or just plain pretty bag.

And don’t forget to recycle whenever, wherever, however, whatever  you can. You will amaze yourself at how much lighter your footprint can be. The planet will be ever so thankful.

Cheers!

This is my first give away, so I kindly ask you all to be patient while I work out any potential glitches in the process and make sure that everyone gets a response.

Another Green Bag

New Green Bag

New Green Bag

I had wanted to finish this bag with the grocery bag in my blog a few weeks ago, but was only able to get around to it now. It was a much easier bag and I love that the straps go completely underneath the bag and hug the bag for greater durability and strength.

But there is this nagging annoyance from the side straps? See those that slide onto the grocery rack? They look like dog ears……..and quite frankly not sure you’re going to want to waste the time getting the check out clerk to slide them on.

What were they thinking? Hmmmm. As many times as I have dragged my bags into the local Safeway, WholeFoods, or Albertsons, no one has the time to “hook up” the tabs for your incoming purchases. At least that is my impression when zipping through the check out lines. I hand them my bag and they start to stuff instantly. So, the side bar handles …….for me………seemed superfluous. The tabs took away from the design. However a new bigger BAG design was discovered. Before I put those tabs on, I fell in love with the larger size from my previous Hand Bags. Same kind of bag, but airy, big, roomy bottom design. Purrrrrrrrfect!

I will definitely be making more of these, but disregarding the side tabs. This bag I lined in nylon (of course) and though I have yet to cut out my plastic square bottom insert for structure, this bag is probably a 3-4 hour project. Boy did the time fly. Being my first try at this design I forgot to clock it. But I imagine you can sew this bag in a few hours once you have it cut out and skip a few of the steps. Yes, this is a simple design but I ALWAYS go the tortoise route whenever I sew anything new. You’d think I would get over it but fabric doesn’t forgive well!  So you speed demons will whip this up in no time.

You will need 1 1/4 yards of 45” wide, or 5/8 yards of 60” wide fabric. Cottons, home dec or denims are my favorite, but if you can get heavy hemp fabric you are going to truly fall in love with this bag. And it will be a long lasting relationship too! Good hemp is stunning.

Hair Canvas

Also, I interfaced this bag and love the extra weight it gave my home dec fabric. The pattern calls for hair canvas (shown right) but I had a medium weight interfacing which combined with the canvas was good enough for my sample. I love crisp designs.

Hair Canvas

Hair Canvas

My recommendations: I would make the straps wider.  My previous designs and from many of my gracious customers, that is one of the many bonus features of my bags. Our shoulders will thank us for that.  So does my chiropractor Matthew!

Happy Sewing.

Wide Straps

I found in my stash a song sung by Tracy Thorn (Everything but the Girl) from the “Protection” album by Massive Attack. It freakishly jumped out at me, and I don’t even know how I got it in my collection. (Well I sorta do but my lips are sealed.) I think I watched “Blind Side” too much!

Nice song for a gray, rainy, sewing day.

Britex Fabrics in San Francisco

Britex Store Downtown SF

Britex Store Downtown SF

There is no other store for fabric then San Francisco’s own Britex.  Honestly, if you are a fabric hound you owe yourself to visit this store at least once in your lifetime. I was downtown last week and decided to head in with camera in hand this time and share the love.

As you can see, there is so much beautiful fabric under one roof you can spend all day.  Along with a small fortune, but honestly the mills where some of these fabrics come from must be made of pearls. OK, I exaggerate but the fabrics here run from $5.00 per yard to something like $3,000 per yard and going.  Definitely Not for the beginner Home Ec project. But then again, FACT:  you sew better with higher quality fabric. Quality is one of my favorite words and as a non shopaholic, when you buy fabric so beautiful your creativity genes go into overhaul. Why go anywhere else?

Britex Store

Britex Store

Britex is literally an institution for San Francisco and has 3 floors of fabric and the 4th floor is for notions, patterns and buttons. The Button gallery is incredible as you can see below. When I started making my handbags, I would go in and spend one hour (and I won’t tell you how much) and load up on the….. “jewelry” ….. for my bags.

Associates asked me where I got my supplies and would faint when I told them. They would buy online without knowing the quality and spending weeks searching. Personally, I could (and did in the beginning) spend weeks online looking for the kind of quality without results. In Britex I could nail in one hour my needs for a year or two!

So, you choose: If you like searching the web, there are plenty of sites for notions.  OR, my preference is heading down to Britex, seeing my favorite sales girl (Maya), chatting away and going home loaded. Sunshine is for playing tennis and not being stuck online or in a mall. Know what I mean!?

Button Gallery

Button Gallery

See what I mean? I will let the photo tell you the rest of the story. Do enjoy the wonderful fabrics. And just when I got home from California, in my mailbox was……yep a Britex Sale. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Thank God I got home in time. This is a great sale and how I got started sewing again after my corporate life. You owe yourself a remnant. Even if you do nothing with it for a long time. Splurge. This is a once a year sale (I believe).

Not often do I write, …..actually I don’t think I ever have, about literally constructing my designs. (Cart before the horse huh?)  Any-who plastic bag use is Still rampant here (with no seen on the horizon for it ending soon), but found yet another “hopeful” solution. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean any other state or country is winning the record for Plastic Bag Elimination. Wish there were a prize winning contest. That might get people changing.

I came across this Butterick pattern (#5338 at your local Joanne’s Fabric, but you can get it at any existing fabric store — they’re dropping like flies)- that sells them or online.  It was kind of a pamper day as I rarely shop, and actually will do anything to get out of it. Unless of course it is fabric. But I digress. I thought this might be a nice addition to my market bag line and decided to finish a sample one last night. As you can see, I finished it. There is no great love relationship going on with this one, however if it made people change their habits I would be jumping up to the moon. Trying anyhow and would certainly put more into production.

So, I could either make these little ditty grocery bags which took me about …….oh let’s say …..two something hours to put together.  I go very, very, very slow when I have not made an item before….not including cutting this one out.  Then once I get the gist of it can totally go for speed.  Though we still aren’t and never will be the road runner here, it’s the mitered corners in the binding that took me awhile.  A few choice words later.

The folded Binding and I don’t have a very long relationship,  so if you have used it regularly and can get the angle “Perfect” you should have no problem whipping this together in two hours, including cutting it out.

Patrcia, my favorite Test Marketer

Patrcia, my favorite Test Marketer

The inside seams are french enclosed and I just sergered the bottom but you could have used the binding on it. I didn’t want the extra bulk or weight so I opted out. Less is more rule.

As you can see I wasn’t sure about the bag and didn’t bother matching up the pattern in the fabric, but it gave me the idea for the bag completed. I made this from some of my scraps. Hmmm, should this be a bag or should the scrap be put into the stuffing for my auctioned off dog beds?

  You decide.  Let me know what you think.  If it changes the world, one bag at a time, then you know where my vote goes.

Au revoir!!

Lollipops

Lollipop Apron for children

Lollipop Apron

I am often complimented on my Lollipop line of aprons. At my shows, I am always so tickled at the response I get to my little story about how they were created. So, here is the subtle story of how the Lollipops were created. Of which I honestly can take no credit!

Once upon a time a seamstress was patiently working away at trying to make everyone aware of and responsible for the amount of garbage that they created each and every day. As she began her market bag line to help ease everyone off of their addiction to plastic and paper towels; share her love of feeding friends and family organic and healthy food and her Luh- love of entertaining, she also started making some aprons. OK, my boyfriend asked me to make an apron for the Mill Valley film festival coming into town (next to my boutique), but I am still trying to save the planet so work with me on this one for now. ;-)

(Then there’s me constantly saying “oh my god, if you told me I would start a sewing business 10 years ago…..I would have said shoot me now!” )

But I digress. Let’s get back to Lollipops. When I started so innocently with the apron line, I made a cute little ruffle apron. When you cut out the ruffle for the ruffle apron you are left with a lovely large circle, which left me pondering what to do with it.

Is it a Huge Pot Holder?….(see photo)….no.  A Bib for babies?…….no.   Is it a hot pad for hot plates?…..NO! So, what I came up with using other parts of the scraps was the Lollipop apron. Mostly because it was to continue the theme of recycle and reuse. What evAhhhh you do, don’t put the scraps of fabric in the garbage can. Ever.;-(

Taking the big circle and building upon it, it evolved into a darling little ditty for my children’s line. But I couldn’t stop at just that.

My scraps also go into the dog beds I make for the shelters and/or donate to Auctions to raise money for those hundreds of selfless humans who take it upon themselves to foster and adopt homeless animals.

Nothing should ever go into the trash can. That is the story of how I designed my Lollipop Line. Thanks for asking!

Now I meant these cute little ditty’s to be for my children’s line. But I have to tell you that my 20 something year old gals are as cute as can be when they are in love, finding a way into that special man’s heart and buy these beauties. Say no more, say no more.

I ask for no details, just what they prepared for dinner and dessert. 

The name lollipops? Well I had to come up with something cute and it works for me.

The kitchen is truly one of the most favorite rooms in the castle. Don’t you agree?

Warm and cozy for sure. Bon Appetit.
