  I’m attending school full time and working 30 hours a week right now, so I really haven’t had time for sewing. But I did whip this out the other day, using a super-simple Built By Wendy pattern and…

  I was super excited about this shirt while I was sewing it, and then when I was done I decided I didn’t like it, and then I put it on while I was getting ready fro school this morning, and now I lo…

  Inspired by this tutorial (http://katiedid.squarespace.com/katie-did-journal/2009/5/1/tutorial-flower-collar.html), I attached some ruffles to a drab Banana Republic cardigan I’d thrifted ages ago….

  ainslaw added the project called Scrap Skirt

  

  I’m back to school, and really busy. Plus it’s been sewing for a week straight, and I’m low on fabric. So, naturally, I whipped a skirt up last night, so I could wear it in the rain today.

  The pattern is 2694, and it’s probably my favourite pattern ever. :)

  Oops, it’s supposed to say “thrifted” – as in, I picked the fabric up super cheap at a thirft sto…

  So again with the not actually being a sewn thing. I followed "purl bee’s mistake stitch pattern”:http://www.purlbee.com/easy-hand-knit-scarf/ for this scarf… and I love it. So much.

  I am so happy with this shirt! I modified the pattern I used for my “Sept 7” shirt, and basically created a hybrid of Simpliciy 2694 and McCall’s 6298. And then added cap sleeves.

  ainslaw added the project called Sept 9

  

  So I’m kind of in love with fabric “yo-yos.” I saw a hair clip on Burda a while ago which inspired me, googled at tutorial, and haven’t stopped making them since.

  Thrifted pattern (McCall’s 6298) and second hand fabric time! The shirt turned out pretty wonky fit-wise, so I added the ribbon in back, and modified the pattern substantially the next time I used …

  ainslaw added the project called Sept 6 (Seed Stitch Scarf)

  

  So this isn’t sewing, but I decided (after great deliberation) to put it up any way. It is a simple seed stitch, and I made it on a road trip to North Dakota. And it is FULL of mistakes, that I was…

  This is maybe my favorite thing I’ve ever sewn. I’ve worn it twice in the 5 days since I made it. And (surprise!) it’s from the Simplicity pattern that keeps on giving – Simplicity 2694 ("inspired …

  The free sort of project! The fabric is leftover from my mom’s college curtains, and the pattern is a modification of a bbw pattern I’ve been using and abusing for months.

  I’m so happy with this dress! Once again, I used my fantastic $1 Simplicity fabric and thrifted remnants. I had exactly enough for the dress – I even used the selvage for the bottom hem to save len…

  This was quite the project. I picked up Built By Wendy’s odd jacket pattern for a dollar last week, and a mustard colored table cloth the other day at a thrift store, and ta da! I’m not sure it qua…
