#bpsewvember Day. 07 : currently I'm wearing the #astoriasweater I whipped up the other night to kick off my time off for Thanksgiving. This is actually the second @seamwork Astoria I made the other night. The first one fit but was big in the shoulder, even though I already reduced the shoulder some. I took off some more for this magenta cotton jersey and it is a prefect fit. I think if I make it again I will lengthen it about 2 inches, but otherwise super happy with this and can't believe it's taken me this long to ever make one.

#bpsewvember Day. 06 : my most used #memade item has to be this faux #suede #missmaggiehandbag, a free #sewing #pattern from @emmalinebags.

#bpsewvember Day 5: I have many #collections but I thought I'd share a small peek at my #fabric collection. Can we call it a collection 🤔 I mean we all know that fabric, pattern and notion collecting is a separate hobby from #sewing 😆

#bpsewvember Day 4 : What is my #hiddenTalent? Well I'd like to think my best talent is #problemsolving. No matter what the task, I like to think that I can figure out a solution. It may not always come instantly or even be the best method, but it is well thought out. Problem solving is one skill I like to think I instill in all my students. It also takes a lot of problem solving to figure out all those #pattern #fitting issues.

#BPSewvember Day 02: Throwback to 2018 when I star

#BPSewvember Day 02: Throwback to 2018 when I started a tradition of #sewing a birthday dress and taking fully made-up #photos. In this 2018 photo I'm wearing the #soivintageshirtdresss. For 2019 and 2020 I made two different variations of #charmpatterns #nightanddaydress. This year's dress and photos will be appearing a little later than planned but I can't wait to share them with you.

#BPSewvember Day 01: I came down with a cold on Thursday evening. So while I'm sick in bed recovering I thought I'd participate in this fun little challenge hosted by @bimbleandpimble.

So for 3 facts about me 1) I've been #sewing since 2012 when I was gifted a #sewingmachine by my mother-in-law 2) I adore #vintage fashion specifically the 1940s, 50's and 60's 3) I enjoy listening to old radio shows when I'm #sewing.

In this throwback photo I'm wearing my favorite rose print #toastersweater by @sewhouse7. I made it a few years back, and am actually wearing it today on this cold sick day.

The last few days has been wet and cold ☔ But it has given me the opportunity to break out my collection of #vintage #coats. I think this one maybe from the #1970s but it has a #1930s feel, especially when pairing it with this #vintageBrooch that is a perfect color match. #vintagefashionchallenge

I finally got around to #sewing my niece the dress

I finally got around to #sewing my niece the dress she requested and it fit perfectly. I fmade her #simplicity1211. I cut a size 7 but the length of a 12 because she wanted it ankle length and she's super tall for a 7-year old. Now to get on with her other sewing requesrs 😂

October was such a busy month I never got to share

October was such a busy month I never got to share this amazing necklace my hubby got me for our 15th #anniversary

Isn't it lovely ☺️ Now I just need to #sew a green gown to wear with it 😃
