Mini tote

Tiny tote made from the leg of a pair of jeans

Plaid skull pin for Easter

Made on my embroidery machine with variegated thread and a unfinished skull design from urban threads,then stitched on to some white cotton scraps and cut around,pin added to back.

Vintage underwear

Found at my local fabric shop that has old stock still on the shelves.the old ladies that were working gave me some strange looks for buying two pairs of these,they were marked at 1.99$,original price,just like their vintage zippers.

sew for victory,craptastic pics

SEW FOR VICTORY dress and jabot,and some crappy pics.Misplaced my extra batteries and charger,so have some crappy pic from my cell phone,self taken.Only the sleeve pic look good.the pattern is DuBarry 5558,and I combined them with the longer sleeves,rick rack,and the button on jabot (which I had some problems with) it need a good iron and the shoulder pads. It's supposed to have a side opening,but haven got that far and just slips over my head.I had to redo the neck as it was to tight,and the jabot I made a little smaller as it seemed huge the first try and still does ,need to make another a bit less wide and a little stiffer.Got a couple more days to get some better pics.All fabric,trim,buttons,and the pattern were from my stash.I do like the dress and will most likely make again,pehaps more fitted with the side opening and no or the shorter sleeves,as it nearly always on the warm side here,and perhaps a reversable jabot,cuz i am a bit messy.

Vintage finds

Lovely old fabric store that still has old stock.kimura's fabric on the big island of Hawaii.

I made pantys

I made pantys.copied a pair that I liked and fit well and then just whipped these out so easy(if you don't sew the wrong seams together,I sew the hip seams together,then had to cut them off,they were narrow so they still fit)now I need to make matching tops.they are so comfy,I think I'm addicted.I tried making some before but they turned out too big,i've lost alot of weight and forget how small i am now.I will be making more when I find some more nice stretchy knit fabric

having fun with embroidery machine

The variegated thread makes a neat pattern on the base layer,wish i had some software to make my own shapes.This skull is from urbanthreads  I've made several of them and when I go get some new needles I'll make some more.
