Get the lead out pencil skirt
Whipped up in the nick of time for a holiday party last weekend, using my tried & trued Burda 8155. Second time using a lined back vent and am totally addicted to them. And to this cheery...
My first jeans
Though these were first started (gulp) about 4 years and many miles ago, I’ve finally finished my first pair of jeans. They aren’t perfect, but now I have a starting point to tweak them...
Sun hattitude
To complete my little trio of beachy goodness, I made this sun hat. The lining is the same as my shorts, the denim is from the same bolt as my pencil skirt, and I used red cotton broadcloth...
I can't believe I'm wearing shorts!
Seriously, I don’t wear shorts. Except for bumming around the house on weekends. But I bared my legs on the beach, and may have gotten over my fear. Well, at the beach...
Beach bum skirt
Whipped up just in time for vacation, and I only wish I’d been wearing this skirt all summer long. IKEA linen blend, muslin lining, invisible zip. I had slight issues with the pocket...
Dress of indiscretion
This dress was originally planned in a different fabric, but I ended up using this super-soft heathered modal. It feels fabulous against the skin! I got a little lazy while cutting out the...
Easy does it
This used up just one yard of this bright & beautiful, ikat-esque, polyester crinkle chiffon I found out in California on a visit to my bestie’s. Though at first the blousy, loose look of...
Dress for a nothing day, or ode to MTM

Re: Felted Houndstooth Bag
Love this! Total sucker for houndstooth. Thanks for the tip about the lining. I just picked up a felted clutch that I never finished, and now want to redo the lining :)

Now if only this had been posted two weeks ago! Just made my first blouse with rayon. For next time...

Fantastic - thank you! Now that I know the proper method, no more messy notion applications for me. One request to Susan or Threads online editors: better use and navigation of the site would occur if you provided a link to the related snap covering article, say at the word "covered" in the sentence before the first photo.

Wow! Thank you so much for choosing me as a finalist! I didn't even realize it until after the voting had ended (was on vacation, and decidedly not addicted to the internet). Great boost to keep on sewing :)
