Ok so this is my purple peasant blouse made months ago then lost I found it just last week in a bag of my sons I must have put it in there to transport and then forgot about it hence the wrinkles. It is a bit on the large size it was made from Advance 4091 size 18. The 18 says it has a 36 bust but let me tell you that bust is anything but a 36 and therefore is very generous on me so I am now drafting a new pattern for a peasant blouse today. Oh and also that skirt is one of my repairs I fixed the hook and eye on it. Its straight up 70's but it has a 40's feel to it so I like it.
The pillows I made with some Ikea Fabric from my stash so I think they qualify for the New Vintage Ladies challenge of using a fabric you already have. I learned how to make french seams on these babies. I made them through a craftsy class with Dianna Rupp. I decided to take her class as I would classify myself as an advanced Beginner in the sewing world and only really started sewing a few years ago. Now while I did take a class or two when I started nobody really taught me how to use my machine properly and this class was excellent for that. My next craftsy.com class is sewing a saron dress with Gretchen from Gerties Blog for Better Sewing. I have a feeling I will be taking my sweat time on that one.
Finally here are the said wash cloths. As I said these are very beginner knitting you can see the first on I made the ill shapen one with all the holes then the smaller ones beside it. Then I learned to purl and make a stockinette stitch and added knit stitches to keep them from rolling.
So readers thats is that. More later I hope. Have a great weekend everyone.
