This was a crazy sewing month. Anything that could go wrong did!

Made this for tavio. Fits a bit weird. Not super happy with the neck

This actually turned out ok. Quick sew for lily for Valentine’s Day.

Swimsuits always take forever, but the child version was particularly bad. It had binding and for some reason I couldn’t for the life of me sew it on straight. It kept being wavy and crazy. I ended up cutting it off, folding the elastic over and sewing it down. It was a mess. Oh, and the lining was extra big for some reason so I took it in before sewing it together.

This turned out cute but I broke a needle making it which flipped up and hit me in the neck. Not cool. Other than that it was an easy enough make. Meant for scissors but I like it for screwdrivers, tweezers, clips, seam rippers, all the little things I put between my surger and sewing machine.

This dress was a beast. I couldn’t for the life of me get the collar on correctly. It was supposed to be binding but really seemed too narrow for that. Plus the fabric doesn’t have enough recovery. I tried a regular collar, it was wavy. Tried again, wavy again, added elastic, still bad, folded the collar and elastic over and sewed it down, still bad. Unpicked yet again 4 layers of stitches … did I mention this thread matches extremely well. So hard to tell what was seam and what was fabric. Went for a thicker collar but not quite as long. Still bad. Not enough fabric left to make the collar in one piece so I made it a bit longer, and had to have 2 seams in it not just one, but it finally went on and laid mostly flat so I’m calling it wearable,
I also made another pair of sweatpants for tavio and a pair os red super plush leggings for myself.
Found a pic of the super plush pants.
Found these other pics from the same day. They were completed about he same time i think. This was a subscription box item.
This was also a subscription box item. I remember thinking it may be my something with hearts so it must have been completed around this time. Pic was taken feb 25
This is a dress I made lily. She is always outgrowing her clothes and had nothing warm for church.
