SarahbelleSews: February 2013
http://sarahbellesews.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Here, Dear Readers, you get a chance to help a blogger, and novice quilt designer out. I have a pattern for a log cabin quilt that, owing to careful selection of fabric, and even more careful arrangement of blocks, makes a heart. {Awwwwwwwwww}. And, when I say, " per se. I mean: "not even close". I am now ready to choose the fabrics for the quilt. I've always wanted to render it in soft shades of greens (sage, mint, pistachio) and muted pinks, with the borders in ivory or cream.

The Amazing Adventures of Taracat. Bad back, a new(ish) hobby and Me Made May ’14 week one. Sewing is pretty impossible at the moment, I have done something painful to my back and all attempts to work at my machine have left me in agony so I have had to admit defeat until it sorts itself out. This is very annoying as I have a queue of projects including my nearly Dolly Clackett. Dress, another Emery. And my Simplicity wrap dress. However my sanity has been saved by the arrival of this gorgeous package:.

Making shit and talking shit. Since 1979. Hey, y’all. Happy 2016! Mine has started off swimmingly. Two great bits of career related news and some little bits of sewing. That scrap of fabric under my mitten cuff is leftover from this. Refashion. I had been pondering what to do with it. Since 2011, apparently. That’s a hell of a long time to hang onto a hunk of gorgeous sweater knit. Spurred into action by the cold. I finally turned it into these puppies. Leather and wool mittens! I LOVE THEM BOTH!

Happy 8498…I mean 2013! Happy 8498…I mean 2013! Posted January 2, 2013. Fabric: quilting type cotton from 1993. Notions: huge separating zipper, hem facing tape. Time to complete: I’m going to make up a number and say 5 hours because I didn’t keep track. Make again: Yes, in a better quality fabric. I bought the fabric and crazy zipper back in the ’90s, so it could be anywhere between $5-$20. The pattern was 69 cents from Village des Valeurs. It was pretty easy to put together even without the instruction...
