Sometimes the grand that needs clothes created is the grandma one. Weight flucuations due to health issues mean I need clothes that fit. Hopefully, I will see a stabilization of my weight as med levels are correctly adjusted.
In the mean time, I need not to be naked. Therefore, I plan, and I assemble fabrics, patterns, and notions. And I sew.
I have sewn lots of cool knee length shorts for our intense summer weather we have endured this year. I purchased several lengths of stretch twill sportswear fabric from Joann's Fabric, Almond buff, bright white, royal blue, true red, powder blue, and a light blue geometric print. I also purchased a stretch dark denim. I pulled fabric from the stash including a tan linen type.
I sewed short shorts from Royal linen type and a tannish cotton type.
I have completed several tops using fabrics from the stash. One sleeveless knit was made from a piece leftover from a blouse made years ago. One dropped shoulder top with princess seams was sewn in a cotton print of light blue cabbage roses on a white background. A rayon challis multicolored print became a wearable toile. A piece of knit became a tee shirt.
I have green eyelet + pattern = a button front shirt.
I have white tissue linen + pattern = an asymmetrical blouse.
I have white eyelet + pattern = light jacket. I might use some dark denim for contrast in this jacket.
I have 4/5 yards of Endless Seas striped embroideried fabric + patterns = blouse, skirt, and/or dress.
I have dress lengths of knit fabrics to make several maxi dresses.
I have lengths of fabric to make a linen skirt.
I need to give my sewing mojo a couple of Red Bulls! Lol
Bits and pieces from my life. A little sewing, a little knitting, a little cooking, and a little traveling.
