I am back after a lovely August break & ready to get back to sewing and blogging! This year I'm feeling more "back to school" than I have in a long time. Hoping to learn some new things this fall & try out new projects & techniques.
In September I will have a couple of things to share which I finished in August. Then I will try to finish and share a few items I started in July & August! I have a couple of those to complete but I am already feeling like it's time to move on to some fall sewing projects so that will be what is next.
Related to that I have a bunch of Burda patterns to trace out, a few recent ones & a couple of oldies which I think will be nice fall outfits.
And I hope to share the next Literary Sewing Circle pick by the end of this month as well. Lots going on but a busy month at work too so I will have to be organized. I'm ready to go 😄📚🧵
I have followed your sewing journey on pattern review for years. My user name there is Tillysews. I have stepped back from sewing for the last couple years as I have focused on my machine knitting. Currently I’m working on a sweater idea related to my Slovakian heritage. I seem to remember you did a blouse with Ukrainian embroidery and I was wondering if you could share what blouse pattern you used as I want to add a similar one to go with my sweater. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Tillysews! Good to hear you are still making things - I find machine knitting incomprehensible so very impressive that you are doing it -- and coming up with your own designs too. Would be interesting to see what you do with a Slovakian design. As for my blouse, I used Simplicity 3684 -- you could easily make one of the views without the puff on the lower sleeve if you want it to fit under a sweater.
DeleteHi Melanie, So glad you are back! But great you had a month off. I am looking forward to the inspiration and of course the LSC!
ReplyDeleteI too have come back to some machine knitting, but more to make fabric to sew with. It is a work in progress.
Thanks! Interesting that you are also doing some machine knitting. Keep your eye on this blog for some LSC announcements soon!
