Instagram post 2198008259898978643_804339342 Evening look/daytime look for today. Going out to see Miss Richfield 1981, so might as well be fabulous! @illusiontheater
Instagram post 2197354846014112211_804339342 Turns out I do need more super-warm socks! #knitting #knit
Instagram post 2196611861861215228_804339342 Finished up a cami-style bralette. I love wrap dresses but I don’t love wearing camis under them, so I altered my Sweet Sixteen bralette pattern to have a cami-style front. All on its own, it’s still a semi-sheer fabric, but if I want more opacity I can add some lace. I pinned in the lace for now. #sewing #sew
Instagram post 2195856584362800800_804339342 Even with a foam liner, my Red Hot bra is too big for me now! Normally I just pull out the wires and cut off the straps to recycle, but I may keep this one for a bit on my mannequin. It’s not perfect, but I love it and I’m quite sentimental about it. #sewing #bra #brasewing
Instagram post 2195112686002873028_804339342 I bought this fabric at the @textilecentermn garage sale a few years ago. I remember I told @djscheheherazade that it could be a fire blanket. It’s warm, thick, and a little scratchy. In a move that feels Very Minnesota I made it up into draft-blocking curtains for our bedroom. They’re held pretty close to the window glass with tension rods and the idea is that they’re kind of long underwear for your windows. The room feels a little warmer but the real test will be today - a cold snap is upon us! My 1952 #vintagesingersewingmachine 301 made #sewing this thick fabric a breeze!
Instagram post 2193788644977150339_804339342 I pulled out a quilt made (I think) by my great aunt in the 1970s and Wolfie has decided it belongs to him. #sew #sewing
Instagram post 2192255945816705248_804339342 I love the look of semi-sheer fabrics! #sewing #sew
Instagram post 2191517826276500465_804339342 Sneak peek of a Christmas present for someone who loves purple. #knitting #knit
Instagram post 2190759439699875459_804339342 Imagine a squeal of absolute delight along with this photo. I thought I had used up all of this lovely lace, but I still have a bit. I’m going to #sew it up into a cami-style bralette.
Instagram post 2190083562767058054_804339342 Happy to have super-warm socks to wear! #knitting #knit #yesistillknit
Instagram post 2189517558076927116_804339342 My @goodwillmn spidey sense was right - picked up a buttonholer that matches my 1967 Singer. #vsm #vintagesinger #vintagesewingmachine
Instagram post 2187999657595436978_804339342 Starting a Black Friday tradition. Staying home and making sugar scrub. #skinstuff #sugarscrub
Instagram post 2187450884515195452_804339342 Two gluten-free plant-based pies (and they are both delish!) #thanksgiving
Instagram post 2186427607340565263_804339342 This rather sad-looking thing is a test-fit bra I made a few months ago. I’m shortening the band and finishing the straps and top edge so that I can actually wear it. #sewing #sew #rubybra
Instagram post 2185714554043172969_804339342 If loving bonkers panty fabric is wrong, I don’t want to be right! #sewing #knickernovember @smallbobbins @thespeckyseamstress
Instagram post 2184996372513015490_804339342 When I started #sewing, I worried about buying equipment I wouldn’t need. Have never regretted getting nice duckbill/appliqué scissors! I’m pretty sure they’re less than $30 and worth their weight in sewing confidence. #knickernovember @smallbobbins @thespeckyseamstress
Instagram post 2182786099462855331_804339342 Hey #knickernovember participants! Which direction do you cut your gusset? I’ve seen it (and sewn it) both matching the grain of the panties and with the stretch from front to back. Which do you prefer and why? @smallbobbins
Instagram post 2182093599362285674_804339342 How does a strip of paper tape improve the fit of your me-made panties? Take our class next April to find out! #sewing #sew #knickernovember @smallbobbins
Instagram post 2181372122887559712_804339342 Next on the cutting table: this bonkers/adorable fabric from Purpleseamstress Fabric! #sewing #knickernovember @smallbobbins @thespeckyseamstress
Instagram post 2180621107666079841_804339342 Really tired of this cold, so I made hot and sour soup from #veganomicon.
