Completed Project

I finally finished a long awaiting project, and I am quite pleased with it.
McCall’s M6654 is a really enjoyable pattern. I chose to do E with a slight change to the pattern.

It is a pencil skirt without to no walking room, so I place four triangle panels in the side, front, and back seams. This gave plenty of room for walking and/or walking, and still kept that pencil look. After finishing the edges, I sewed them down to keep them laying in one direction, when washing or ironing. I didn’t take a photo of the placement of the zipper, but I did reinforce it.

Revamping Sweat Pants into a Skirt

I was at work last week, and as always thinking in what or how to come up with something useful and fun in sewing.  So, taking two pair of sweat pants, I came up with a skirt.  It takes little time from start to finish.  I was able to complete one in about 2 to 21/2 hours.  Below are some simple steps to follow with this project.

With the love of sewing, I try stay busy utilizing my skills and education (Fashion Design and Business) in designing and making clothes.  I love to design my own patterns, but also enjoy using premade patterns as well.  Changing them in various ways, and making them my own.

Below, is a couple of patterns that I am working on.  The pattern on the left is one that I have used with 4 skirts that was made as uniforms for my job.  Just about to finish one, and getting ready to start 2 more.
