The Reel McCoy: December 2011
http://the-reel-mccoy.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 10 December 2011. Remember when I said I was knitting a snood. Well I finished it and I am totally in love! I've been wearing it at every opportunity since I finished it and it really didn't take me that long to do either, probably about 5 hours in total (more since I'm not counting stating again.) It is made from this. Pattern on Ravelry, I used two balls of Sirdar Escape Chunky. Now I'm contemplating a cardigan, I may have just approached the crazy train! Saturday, 3 December 2011. After taki...

Three City Mice: May 2012
http://threecitymice.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Sewing in the City with Three Mice Under Foot. Wednesday, May 16, 2012. The OOP Oliver S Bubble Dress Reissued! I have always loved the O S Bubble Dress. But it went out of print before I had my daughter and so it was out of reach for me, until now! The great folks at O S have reissued this pattern in digital form. I snapped it up the day it was announced on their blog and immediatly set to work making my daughter one of each view of the dress. I'm still finishing up View B, with the straight side seams&...

Three City Mice: Sitting Room Renovation: Window Treatments
http://threecitymice.blogspot.com/2011/11/sitting-room-renovation-window.html
Sewing in the City with Three Mice Under Foot. Saturday, December 3, 2011. Sitting Room Renovation: Window Treatments. So far my sitting room renovation has gone from this. 65279;I've been sewing miles and miles of curtains. I made 6 panels for this little room and these babies are 114" long. I used a large scale print from the AMH Loulouthi line - it is called "Clippings" in the Glow colorway. And I have to create some type of screen for this:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sewing in the City with Three Mice Under Foot. Friday, December 2, 2011. Yo-Yo Tree Garland in Parisville Fabrics. Oops, I mean Cheer, begin! I'll give you fair warning that usually Christmas is not my favorite holiday. I've been told that I have certain tendencies reminiscent of you know who:. Nursing as I have been for the last several years. As evidence of my Christmas-y spirit I give you this tree! In addition to the yo-yo garland I tied some of the branches here and there with little strips of fabri...

Three City Mice: Music Class Blouse and Skirt Revisited
http://threecitymice.blogspot.com/2012/02/music-class-blouse-and-skirt-revisited.html
Sewing in the City with Three Mice Under Foot. Sunday, February 26, 2012. Music Class Blouse and Skirt Revisited. I seem come back to my Oliver S patterns time and time again, season after season, making them up in various fabrics and ever larger sizes as my children grow. Case in point is the Music Class Blouse and Skirt. Which I blogged about last August here. And got down to business. I really like the classic look of the white dot print with the shiny black buttons. I can't say enough how terrific th...

Three City Mice: Music Class Blouse and Skirt
http://threecitymice.blogspot.com/2011/08/music-class-blouse-and-skirt.html
Sewing in the City with Three Mice Under Foot. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Music Class Blouse and Skirt. For the past week or so I've been sewing for my daughter. I started out without much of a plan. I just dug through my fabric and patterns looking for a combination that was cute enough to inspire me to get to work. I came up with the Music Class blouse and skirt pattern from O S. Look at this sweetness! August 23, 2011 at 11:02 AM. Thats a lovely print for this blouse. Your stitching looks perfect!

Three City Mice: Simplicity 1879: Muslin for Cuffed Shorts with Side Zip
http://threecitymice.blogspot.com/2012/03/simplicity-1879-muslin-for-cuffed.html
Sewing in the City with Three Mice Under Foot. Saturday, March 3, 2012. Simplicity 1879: Muslin for Cuffed Shorts with Side Zip. As I was making up my daughter's latest Music Class Skirt I realized that I have a TON of the navy cord in my stash (at least 3 yards remaining). I started trying to think of ways to use some of it up. I thought about maybe a skirt for me and then I remembered that I just stashed this pattern, Simplicity 1879:. But look at the front! The curve in the side seam and the waist is ...

Three City Mice: McCall's 6237: A Birthday Dress

Sewing in the City with Three Mice Under Foot. Thursday, December 29, 2011. McCall's 6237: A Birthday Dress. My daughter's birthday is December 26th and I can not believe she has turned 2! How those baby-months fly by and before you know it you have a "big girl" on your hands. I decided to make her a pretty party dress for her birthday and I settled on McCall's 6237 because it had long sleeves and a classic shape. But, would you look at the sample from the pattern cover? Happy Birthday Baby Girl! Amanda'...

Sewing in the City with Three Mice Under Foot. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Simplicty 1879: Shorts Finished! After the work I did on my muslin was complete these shorts came together really quickly! As I mentioned in my last post I almost never sew pants for myself so I wasn't sure what to expect but. I really like them! The curved waist band is great. The side zip makes for a nice clean front. The pleat detail is just enough to make them fun without adding bulk to the tummy. Saturday, March 3, 2012. Wierd ...
