DIY & Art

Sometimes you just need to find time to play.

I’ve been working on this quilt coat for months and it’s almost done. Just need to put the lining in.

New pants

Time for my next sewing project

I was trying to pick an outfit to wear to Hamilton today when I realized it was International Women’s Day. I knew exactly what to wear then. This dress that I made from Alexander Henry Stronger Together fabric.

Front, back, and pocket panels are all stitched. I think I’m going to use bigger scrap pieces for the lining. While looking at the scrap panels I was thinking I would love this for a cropped jacket or something. Something like that might be a multi year project for me.

I did so much sewing, trimming, and ironing this weekend. These are not all tasks I do in my regular sewing so this is definitely a new experience. I think the end result is going to be fun but I’m not sure how I feel about the process yet.

Disclaimer just in case: this post is my own and doesn’t represent the brand. None of this was given to me. I’ve just bought a lot of fabric over the years.

One more post with just a picture of the things I made with the scrap jar was passed on at the Houston Modern Quilt Guild meeting.
