There She Sews!: June 2015
http://thereshesews.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sewing and Craft Projects that have emerged from the cluttered chaos that is Welmoed's sewing room. Friday, June 5, 2015. Make any dress fit perfectly in just ten minutes! A few years ago I made a gown for the annual Smithson Gala. It’s been hanging in my closet since then, and my lovely daughter Diana wondered if she could possibly try it on to see if it fit. Of course, it was too large, but certainly alterable. And in less than ten minutes, it went from loose and drab to fitted and fabulous! Subscribe ...

There She Sews!: January 2015
http://thereshesews.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sewing and Craft Projects that have emerged from the cluttered chaos that is Welmoed's sewing room. Friday, January 2, 2015. First sewing for 2015! Not to skirt the issue, but. I need skirts. All last year I participated in two online challenges: the Make a Garment a Month challenge (which I failed at. I think I only sewed about five things for myself all year) and the Ready-To-Wear Fast (which I aced. Didn't buy a single item of RTW all year, much to my shock! A peek at the lining! The lining isn't atta...

There She Sews!: March 2015

Sewing and Craft Projects that have emerged from the cluttered chaos that is Welmoed's sewing room. Friday, March 20, 2015. Costumes for Legally Blonde: The Musical. I've been pretty busy with costume work again, this time for our local high school performance of "Legally Blonde: The Musical." Because I apparently live under a rock, I was not familiar with the story at all. Why on earth would a movie about a ditzy lawyer need a bandleader outfit and a Playboy bunny suit? YouTube to the rescue! The direct...

There She Sews!: March 2014
http://thereshesews.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sewing and Craft Projects that have emerged from the cluttered chaos that is Welmoed's sewing room. Sunday, March 16, 2014. What every dangerously crafty person needs. I've been AWOL for a while; lots of stuff going on and none of it involves me in the sewing room (darn it! Everything from the apron came out of my stash, including the embroidery design from Urban Threads. Which I've had since 2011 but hadn't yet used it on anything. The apron is really simple to make, but it's such a handy thing to wear ...

There She Sews!: October 2014
http://thereshesews.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sewing and Craft Projects that have emerged from the cluttered chaos that is Welmoed's sewing room. Sunday, October 19, 2014. A new dress for the colder months. It's been nearly two months since my last post (why does this feel like a confession? It's not that I haven't wanted to sew; it's just that other aspects of my life (house, job, family) have eaten into my sewing time and kept me from sequestering myself in my sewing room to actually complete a project. But I did finish a project this morning!

There She Sews!: "Mom, can you copy this dress?" --The umpteenth edition
http://thereshesews.blogspot.com/2015/05/mom-can-you-copy-this-dress-umpteenth.html
Sewing and Craft Projects that have emerged from the cluttered chaos that is Welmoed's sewing room. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Mom, can you copy this dress? I love sewing clothes for my daughter. She has an eye for color and a thirst for style, and has a keen eye about what looks good on her. What she doesn't have is the discretionary income to indulge all her sartorial desires. That's where I come in. So, a few weeks ago she sent me this picture of a Ralph Lauren knit dress. Luckily, I had another piece of ...

There She Sews!: What the well-dressed knight is wearing

Sewing and Craft Projects that have emerged from the cluttered chaos that is Welmoed's sewing room. Friday, February 20, 2015. What the well-dressed knight is wearing. You may be familiar with Reddit, the online forum that has something for everyone (really! Check out their sewing. Subreddit, or the one for knitting. Or the one for sushi. Or the one for potato salad. You get the idea! One of the subreddits is called Secret Santa. And kind of winged the remaining pieces. I asked my daughter's fiance to he...

There She Sews!: August 2014
http://thereshesews.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sewing and Craft Projects that have emerged from the cluttered chaos that is Welmoed's sewing room. Friday, August 29, 2014. As part of an online gift exchange, I wanted to make something for an H.P. Lovecraft fan. What better than their own personal Cthulhu? To my surprise, I actually found a free pattern. It was quite easy to put together, and I'm planning on making several more for my Lovecraft-loving friends. I'm not sure the front tentacles benefit from having a little stuffing in them, but oh well.
