Playing catch up

I want to highlight some of my local sewing spots in Portland.  These are places I highly recommend to take classes, hang out, buy fabric and notions.

More projects to share

Oven mitts, this one was really easy and fun. I can see myself making more of these for gifts.

School House Tunic by Sew Liberated..LOVE this one! Looks great with jeans. This fabric is a lovely violle so it moves well and drapes beautifully, looks fab with jeans and a camisole.

Most recently, have been doing a bit of crocheting. This is a newborn hat, hope to take some pics of a newborn baby soon.  Tom helped with this one!

Another sewing project done!

I'm seeing a trend lately of me always picking out fabrics with blues and greens. Like this! These are stash and dash bags by Amy Butler, I love her prints and patterns. By the third one I finally figured out how to sew in a zipper. I've taken an applique class and an Aline skirt class. I'll post pics of those soon, I still need to finish heming my skirt.

 

What I've been sewing

I've thoroughly enjoyed getting back into sewing and am looking forward to the garment sewing classes I have coming up. Here are a couple pics of some recent projects

 Beginning quiltmaking class, I still need to add the batting and binding. Thanks to Cam for holding this up!
