I want to make one!

I saw this pouch at Anthropologie. I really want to make one for my kids and for me :).

Good sewing weekend

While the kids are away the mice play. Well, I did anyway. I was able to do a lot of sewing this weekend. Here is a top I designed last year and finally got to put it together. It was interesting to see that some commercial patterns are all thought through but mine wasn't so I had to make adjustments as I was going. It would be good to have a dress form for this because having me to try the garment after every seem was time consuming.

A weekend of sewing

The kids are away this weekend so I am taking avantage of it.
I made Leshae's artist kit.
I finished Leshae's pants (from Carefree clothes for girls)

I am going to do the mug covers right now.

Also, I wanted to add that I went to Globes Fabrics here in Regina and loved my experience with them way more than Fabricland. I found my new favorite shop in the city.

Downtown Tunic Dress

I made this dress the other weekend. I like the shape of it and since the fabric is pretty solid it keeps its shape very well. It's from pattern found in the book Downtown DIY Sewing. I altered the dress a bit to make it look like the dress at http://theuniformproject.com/

Christmas presents to make

Hi,
I've decided that this year was going the be the handmade holidays year. Every of my loved ones will receive something made from me. I know that sometimes it doesn't seem to be much to receive something made by hands but if you account the effort put into it, it's worth way more than something bought in a store. Watch my Christmas list at the bottom of the blog to discover what will be made this holiday season.

Avant et après, la chambre des maîtres

Teenager dream

I am almost done reading the Twilight serie. I found it interesting that I got hooked so easily. Something about the teenager dream, when you don't have to much responsibilities and that your future is at harms lenght.

Je veux un Ikea à Regina

 

Ikea garde dans son magazin de très beau matériel à utiliser dans vos projets de décoration. J'en veux un Ikea ici pour que je puisse acheter mètres et mètres de tissus.

Prendre des photos avec les enfants

C'est une photo de Leshae et moi. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir avec les effets spéciaux.
