Lucy Slope Hooded T-shirt

Didn't like the hoodie as much as the free one that came with Easy Hoodie pattern

Leggings Arms Mast FST, SFR

Mash FST, SFR size 1X, Took Apart Leggings for the arms. The arms have the lettuce hem also. I figured it was a good top to try it out on and that's not brushed poly it's 2 way stretch fabric and it's got the curved hem on the FST SFR mash. So I tried out a bunch of things. I ended up doing the lettuce hem because I didn't want it any shorter and I thought using the red colored thread would add a touch of interest to it.

This uses Patterns for Pirates patterns, the top of the Layer Me Up  LMU so that it can have sleeves and the bottom is the Free Spirit Tee, dress length. Used size 1X, and love this! The lace sleeves were trimmed along the end of the lace to give it a prettier sleeve.

The tunic length was definitely too tight. I don't think I will make this again. The neck is lower then I like and increasing the size might just make it even lower. I chopped off 4" from the tunic length and did a 1.5 " hem on the bottom and 1" hem on the sleeves.

Shorts!

Epic fail #1 was Mammaloones, the crotch got messed up when I sewed it, maybe should try it leg in leg to do the crotch. I did size 47"-51"

Try # 2 was the Halla's Woman's Lounge Pants, the Bermuda Shorts option.

I did the 10" wide band..
Graded up the rise from 20 to 24
Not sure if I needed the grading.. band folds over and it was suppose to be a regular band.

Baby Quilts for Nancy

I made two baby quilts for Nancy to use at her auction. Because I waited too long and had to make them quickly and couldn't find any coordinates that I like at Joann Fabric, I used the elemens of the The Land of Whimzie precuts to make the quilts. Great decision!

The kit came with 12 pieces - 10.5 x 10.5 squares of precut 100% flannel squares. There were the following squares: 5 different prints.
3 plain
3 print or 3 plaid
2 different print, white

2 small print light or plain light
2 small print darker

Additionally there were appliques that I purchased that go with each quilt. I didn't like the sticky on the applique back so I did my own heat & bond fusible backing.

I purchased the backing to put on the quilt but decided that the quilt needed "more" so I cut the backing into 3.5" border strips which fit fine. There were 4 border strips and enough left over to make the binding strips - there were maybe 6 binding strips sewn together for 2.5" binding.

I purchase a plain denim like backing made by the same folks and purchased 3 years which was enough to do both quilts.

The binding came out great for the first time because I followed a video that I found http://cluckclucksew.com/2013/01/machine-binding-tutorial.html

There was an bit of an uneven turn over on the binding strip so I hand sewed the binding all away around the quilt. I then used a decorated stitch on my machine to topstitch on the top a bit to the right of the ditch, came out awesome.These are the views on the back. This took more time but it came out much more professional and I think that might be my "signature" on a quilt from now on. Looks so cool and it really keeps the quilt back looking good.
