Hello, again!

Hiya!

It's been a long time since I last blogged. I hope everyone is well!

Here's what I've been working on: cotton boxers; flannel pj pants; flannel pj shorts; and chef hat for hubby!

What are you working on? Until next time...HAPPY SEWING!

Finally, I had some time...And, a little bit of Junk Love

...to finish and work on projects!  This is what I've been up to!  (Yes, that is a plastic wrap closure from a package of bread holding that tail.  Mom, taught me that one!)




This cute cotton toddler's hat!

I taught a class of girls ages 7 to 17 Friendship Bracelets!  We had loads of fun!

I found this 100% linen tablecloth in a thrift store.  I normally am not a "green" girl, but for some reason, I was drawn and knew immediately what I wanted to make!

I used this pattern.
Made a great pair of shorts!

And, one of my current handiwork projects is...
this hand embroidery kit I found in the thrift store which included four white pillowcases to embroider.  Only one of the pillowcases and only the first two scalloped-edge work was done on it!  Fortunately, I found the same color of floss in my stash (with much searching and comparing)....SCORE!

Thank you for visiting!

HAPPY SEWING!

Junk Love..."Excuse me, I'm stuck in the 70's"

Okay, so I love that these jumpsuits have come back into fashion, as well as the wedge heel!  Usually, once you've lived through a certain 'style-period' you really do not want to repeat it.  However, I'm stuck!  Do you remember this pattern?
Well, I've decided to make this same pattern into pants!  So easy...I just extended the leg length!  And, to really make it "retro", I found this vintage fabric for $2 (ALL 8 yards of it)!

This tag (tape) was pretty old!  $6.50 was a good price also!

My jumpsuit turned out like this...

Excuse the clutter...I was so excited to show you!

With the summers so hot here in Florida, these are so comfortable and cool!  I'll be making more!

These Junk Love finds have been a stone cold blast!

Until next time, I wish you Love, Peace, and Soooouuuuuuul!
