What I'm Sewing To

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

Spring is not here...

We were tricked a couple of weeks ago into thinking that spring had come and that it would be warm for a while. Lies, utter lies. Here is a pic from this past Saturday night....this all came after a week of 60-80 degree afternoons....sigh




It was a good opportunity to build a snowman with Lego parts for eyes and nose tho.





Here at long last are some pictures of the Spiderman costume. I finished it a bit ago but the boy child phased Spiderman out of his life and I was waiting for it to come back around. I didn't actually have a pattern for this one and it's quite a bit too big. On the whole I think I did a moderately awful job on it. The lines are hand drawn and they bled in the wash :( Oh well, live and learn I suppose.








This is another recently finished project, an Easter dress for the girl child. This one I'm a lot happier with. I think it's my best wearable garment yet. Not risking putting it on her till the day we need to, she is exceptionally skilled at ruining clothes swiftly.










My next project is 3/4 cut out and 1/3 sewn already. It's a princess dress for a certain blonde niece of mine. Birthday isn't until May-ish but I know if I don't get it going now, it won't be finished. I think I've been promising her one of these for 3 birthdays now, gotta deliver this time. I guess that's one thing cold weather is good for, keeps me home and at my sewing machine instead of prepping the back yard for green beans and watermelons.
