she.. makes short skirts!
It's hard to describe the feeling of making. But it feels good. God must feel good a lot.
Anyway, this is my first skirt. I bought the cornflower blue linen at Jo Ann's as a yard of remnants because I thought the blue would look really good with an LA tan. har har har. here's a short play by play of what I did with Connie.
1) cut two rectangles of linen (about 23x16 inches) and sew the sides together.
2) hem
3) tack down the end of the elastic to one side of the skirt
4) stretch elastic as you sew down along the top, using box stitch for stretch.
5) sew straight stitch down the ends of the elastic to keep them together
6) add pocket
voila!
yayerzzz! this was pretty simple, so I'll be making more as soon as I buy more elastic. :)
Connie learned to sew! and fixed that size 6 skirt (the one she found in her dorm room one night that didnt belong to either of her roomies.. nor anyone on the floor. SKETCHY!) it looks brilliant!!!!!! nice work, C.

pillow talk
i love summer because i love to make things. so this is pillow project #1.
materials: 21 in square and 25x21 rectangle of ikea cotton canvas, spare button, trusty sewing machine
TADAAAAA!
i couldnt figure out how to hide the stiches on the flap, but whatevs
and i figured out how my machine stiches button holes AFTER doing this by hand. but it was still fun.
canvas birds are so much better than red velvet cushion in the last post about this couch.
yapp thats all.
next time: sewing lessons with CONNIE :)
