Labeling is Everything.

By -
What happens when you don't label your work. SMH. No size, no measurements, no name!! What was I thinking?
I normally hang these things on the pattern hooks or put them in a large envelope and file with name date and measurements. I can't believe I did this. I'm in a real bind now!!!
Oh well.
Such is the life of a seamstress, teacher, YouTuber, wife, mother, grandmother, and boss lady extraordinaire.

Later peeps... I'm off to figure this dilemma out.

"I don't know everything, 
but, I do know a lot about some things, 
so I'll teach you a
few things of what I do know."

    LOL Girl, you're gonna zig and zag and figure it out.
    I know what you mean about labeling stuff though. I've found a collar pattern with a pants pattern and other weird un-identifiable stuff floating around in my sewing room too.

      For sure...I did finally figure out that it was a shirt draft for my husband. I discovered that when I laid it out and saw the size. Don't have men customers that size.

      You are welcome Jan. With pattern going out of print so much more frequently now, I had to figure something out.

The Great Fabric Swap Challenge and a Pattern Review

By -
Image
About a month ago I agreed to be added to a pool of folks for a fabric swap and be randomly paired with a swap partner.  We were required to exchange any piece of fabric from our stash. We were to sew it up in any way we felt best represents us and our esthetic. This group thing is bringing forth some serious sewing mojo out of me.  Because, I need, absolutely need, human interaction, not just online contact.  Combined with Periscope, this group provides the interaction of an IRL sewing group.  Okay, I think I have done my fabric justice, as well as made my swap partner proud. I present to you #thegreatfabricswapsmt finished garment.

Jersey Dress for my Daughter & Bootstrap Pattern Review

Wrangling in this child for this photoshoot/pattern review, was not as easy as I thought.   Since I was sewing a dress for her, I thought she would show up ready and willing to fit and take pictures whenever I wanted.  OOOOOhhh....but no!!  Going "live" on the internet for review and scrutinizing of her clothes isn't something your average person wants.  Everything has to be perfect, her hair, face, nails, mood, weight, and everything else you can think of when presented with the idea of being put on a quasi-chopping block.   This model-child doesn't have a problem walking a runway for designers.  Neither does she have a problem with self-esteem.  However, presented with a "sewing" blog and still shots that are there to be reviewed and analyzed is a game changer for sure.  I present to you my review of the Bootstrap Fashions Jersey Dress for Jennifer.....please be considerate and remember this is a HUMAN Child you are dealing with!!!
