The weather this weekend has been glorious and yesterday I took a long-overdue trip into B0ston for a stroll down Newbury St. In the 80′s I had great apartment on the corner of Newbury and Dartmouth so I was feeling nostalgic for the old neighborhood. Shopping was on the agenda and now I’m the happy owner of two pairs of John [...]

Click! Click! Miss Cranky Pants is banished, this skirt managed to exorcise her! Recent projects by Gigi and Bunny inspired me to dig through my stash of heirloom trims and use them up. I did a lot of heirloom sewing when my daughters were young, but they outgrew those styles long [...] Click! Click! New England is sweating away in the heatwave and this dress is kind of timely. One thing I remember from childhood are seasonal fabrics that have virtually disappeared from summer, old favorites such as madras, seersucker and dotted swiss come to mind. Gigi made a wonderful top from dotted Swiss and [...] I learned to embroider when I was about 7, and I was maybe 14 when I made this shirt. The pattern is long gone, but it’s Big 4, probably Butterick because back in those days (and unlike today) it was actually a trendy line and my favorite.

copyright 2009 Lindsay T Sews Again When Lindsay blogged about these faux-tortoise giant snaps I fell in love! Then I noticed in the Latest 8/2009 Burda Style that they would be really great on jacket #119. So I called Pacific Trimming, emailed them the photo and they did an order. Its been about two years since I’ve [...] I think this 08/2009 Burda Style pattern is an even closer match to the Marc Jacobs original, especially the raglan shoulder. Must.Find.This.Issue!

Click for a Closer View Click for a Closer View I just love the embellishment on this Marc Jacobs cape! I’ll pass on the scarf since I’m not planning to enter a convent any time soon; however the cape and embellishments are easy to do. M&J Trimming has a great selection of glass stones in [...] Ever have a project that goes great until the very end? That’s what happened here. My Bernina broke down with yet another mysterious problem literally as soon as I got it home from a servicing (to fix the last problem and my tech is a 60 minute drive both ways). So I had no choice but to make hand worked [...] |
