From The Sewing Room


It's so nice to be inspired to sew again!  Having the room cleaned up a bit really helps.


Panda raglan made from super soft rib knit (originally from fabric.com, years ago).  I used a vintage pattern, KS 345 in size 4.


And the model shot.  Sadly, this was the best of like 30 pictures I took of him.


These crinkle knit, rose print peasant dresses are for Hannah and Katie.  I was thinking maybe Valentine's Day, but since they're short sleeved, they'll probably have to wait until later in the spring to wear them.  I've since come up with a couple of alternate ideas for Valentine wear, but haven't started anything yet.


An exciting new development in the sewing room is MORE LIGHT!


Paul brought this home for me.  It's been so nice to be able to see in there in the evenings.


Luke modeling the panda pants that I recently showed.


Here's Luke modeling the fish pants that I showed last week.  The flannel inside makes these cozy and fuzzy.  I found the waffle raglan at Kohl's, so the whole outfit is nice and toasty.

I've got a cool project going in the sewing room using the Mod Podge I won recently.  I hope to be able to share that with you next week.

    1. Thank you, Melissa! I've been very blessed to have a dedicated sewing room in our last 2 houses. Prior to that, the sewing room and the school room had to share space. Competing passions, if you will, lol.

    1. Oh, I bet a knitting room would be amazing! My daughter, Brianna, knits. Not as much now, as she used to, but it's a skill I haven't learned, so I'm always in awe when she whips something up. :)
