Feather Feather Print Infinite Scarf

The Fabric

Last Friday I hit Hancock fabric on my lunch break and came back to work $60 dollars poorer! Yes I said it, $60 "bones or clams or whatever you call them"less. I'm finding myself loving Hancock, they have such a variety, or maybe I'm becoming a better shopper :). This is a huge plus, it saves me a trip to SR Harris in Minneapolis.



Okay so the fabric, is a light polyester blend, that…

Simplicity 1755 - Betty Draper Blue

This version of the dress reminds me of Betty cooking in the kitchen or running after Sally. I love the new rounded collar. This was the best fabric to work with, I got it at SR Harris last fall and I love it. Was looking forward to making a blouse but this was perfect for the third dress. Read more here for…

I love the dress you made for the cover of your local magazine, how were you chosen for this magazine? I'm sure it was a very exciting happening!

My first attempt at lining a jacket left me with a lining that was too small for the jacket! Very upsetting! I ended up taking the lining out and serging all of the seams and adding a facing to the areas that needed them. I learned a lot with that fiasco.

Renata, I just ordered the Brother 1034D and waiting for it's arrival. Have never used a serger so looking forward to trying it out. What projects have you done on your machine?
