Happy Belated Mothers Day

Greetings fellow Crafters

It’s been a while since I posted anything, but between Jan. & April thing get very busy on my job, and when I get home the last thing I want to see is a computer. I just wanted to say hello and updated you on what I’ve been doing since my last blog.

Although, I have a lot of projects on the burner, I’m making a dent in my WIP’S especially my sewing, knitting is going kind of slow, but now that I have a saner schedule I’ll be able to accomplish more.

I made a pair of socks with Jitterbug yarn for my granddaughter Isis for her 23rd B-day, on April 19th.

Jitterbug yarn, 100% Marino wool (1 skein)
Madi Gras (colourway)
Pattern "Dublin Bay Socks" (mossycottagesocks)

I also started another one for my other granddaughter Ami who is 9 yrs old, she’ll be 10 yrs old on June 25th, so I am making her something else I am not sure what as yet so I’ll post hers when I am done.

Sew News:
Necia (janeofalltrades), Chante {harlempurl} and I went to Manny, Necia’s fabric outlet, (Thank you Necia & Chante) .
Manny has a wide array of fabrics it was had to choose, bought these beautiful pieces.

So far I’ve cut all of the fabric white & I with the exception of the red my favorite and I’m still looking for the perfect pattern. I’ll posting as soon as I finished them


I made this a 2 pair of Capri’s and a pair of black pin stripe slacks. I used this Butterick Pattern. The fabric is a piece of remnant from suiting, usually used to make men suits very wide. I stole it from my mother the last time I went to Panama.
















This pair of Pea green slack was another Butterick pattern (sorry not pic,). The fabric is rayon with something.

This Vogue pattern is one of my oldies but goody it is 24 yrs old, love this pattern and think its still stylish real feminine.



Dress layout.







This is the finished product. very easy, the waist has elastic and I need a belt so it bags over.
