not in the mood,,, :(

The roller coaster that my life sometimes puts me a a blue state of mind,, Well I say to myself that little thyroid wants to put you in  blues? ha!! you will show it BLUE!!! 

Got my easy sewing patterns out and closed my eyes and boom! got this one!

Yeah! I got busy with the scarf at 2:45 am this morning!! the gloves I will probably get them down tonigh from other fabric, and this is the end result:

I love the way this scarf just so casualy gives you a touch of elegance,, even if you are wearing a simple white tee and hair in a pony tail you will look so so pretty!!

So this is my way of getting rid of the depresion that lurks sometimes in my life invited of course by my little foe hashimotos, but my sewing keeps it away.

Till next time.... have fabric dreams and sewing patterns wishes!

Here are the sewing patterns!!!!

Well like I said last night, here are some of the sewing patterns that I would love to get started (noted I just say "started" ha!).  The first one is the anniversary gift from my hubby!! Love you baby!!

I  so much love the lines in this dress, the flow, the way is going to camouflage the "problem area of my torso" ha ha ha! am currently looking for a great bargain in similar fabric.

This is one of the maternity blouses I just love this one so much! I had to alter it to be able to wear it now sorry but i did not took a pic before, I just brough in on the sides about 2 inches, the bottom had an elastic and made like a bubble effect I took it off and used it to make a hairband for me!

You can see the detail I put on the hairband buttons was the only thing I could come up with, I know may be too old to be wearing something like this, but is fun and matches some of the ones I have made for my girls.

Well I love this pattern, is a pj set from 1940! not sure what kind of fabric I will get for them, any suggestions will be appreciated

I got this one  and the one in the bottom for my girls am thinking fall dresses.

 Ok. so this 2 are my very first Burda sewing patterns, I just love the little jackets, school jackets am going to make first.

Well those are the sewing patterns am planing on working on for now I will have to look for a few jumper options for the school jumpers I need to start those ASAP!!

Till then,,, have fabric dreams and sewing patterns dreams!!!

A little bit at a time, is just right for now.

Well, by the sluggish that has become my life due to the always fun symptoms of my little foe hashimotos I have UFO left and right, down and up,, yeah my pic is just so right that little mountain in my back is my load of UFO, let me describe from bottom up, I have 3 maternity shirts that am going to alter to fit me now, I got a pair of my hubby's dress pants that am determine one day( hopefully before next year) to transform in to a very dressy skirt for me, I got several yards of fabric that will be a few dresses for me, got fabric to make my girls jumpers for school( ha! This is s super challenge school starts in about a month or so), then I have muslin for my hubs lounge pants/shorts ( he wants me lot make him a silk pj set he say on the net, at my pace it will be mu Xmas gift, ha ha ha,)and I have a bonnet for my little one, a up cycle/recycle thing with my girls tee shirts.


That is my friends that little mountain behind my back!!, will I get any of by a miracle all of my projects done?? Or will that mountain will just collapse on me, stay tune to find out!!

till next time,, have fabric dreams and patterns wishes!!!

It's been crazy

Well it is been so crazy in my house since February, my baby girl of just 5 months had open heart surgery, her recovery was pretty fast, and she was ready to come home way before the doctors were planing, that along with my hashimotos disease did not leave too much time for sewing.

But now I have been able to snick some sewing here and there, I manage to make Easter dresses for my 3 little girls, and started on one for me, but still is some where in my sewing room waiting,, maybe next Easter!

I made some Hawaiian shirts for my girls for their school, Hawaiian party, the sewing pattern I used was a butterick vintage # 4732 that am guessing is from the mid 70's can't find a date on the pattern, the fabric was a thrift find I had in my stash since 04? 03? yes! am a fabric hoarder, and it is a very light but sturdy cotton with blue and white just love it! and the good part we paid for it $2.95 and there were like 4 yards so I made the 2 shirts ans still have plenty left for a dress for my baby girl and a shirt for me!!

The Easter dresses for my girls i made using the McCall's # 6312 fabric from the hobby lobby, I used a self drafted pattern for my 6 month old

I have sew a lot for my little girls and this is the first time that I can say " this is pretty bad sewing"..  I completely made a horrible disaster of Easter dresses for my girls, they were really nice and just said "mommy i kind of like it",,, my older daughter said " well u can probably re-make it to something else mommy" i took the seam riper to it, but can't make myself get near that fabric, I keep getting flash backs of the horrible dresses that pile of pretty fabric used to be.

I had to start on something else so I made another 2 dresses for my girls I used McCall  6067   and the fabric is a vintage percale that I bought from ebay 6 yards for $ 4.68 shipping included!! jackpot!! any way I finish with those, I yet to finish my 6 month old dress and baby booties.

 For my I used vintage Vogue 7823   I cut it to the size of the pattern size 40 bust 44  but, to my surprise was way to BIG!!! yes, my thyroid is taking me to my slender cycle ha ha ha!! and I had to use the seam riper to adjust the darts and to take about 11/2 on the sides, will make and effort to finish it this weekend.

Am also making little bloomers for my little 6month old, using the simplicity # 3508 a retro vintage original from the 50's

Till next time, have fabric dreams and pattern wishes!!!! 

the flower bag

This is the project that I will be working on is a bag using the McCall's # 8065 "E" am using a thrift find a yard and half that I got back in San Diego, Ca., for $0.95 and is a nice decorating weight fabric, for the lining am using a walmart back when they used to have $0.50 a yard is a nice gabardine like material.

Hopefully I can finish this before the end of the week, am waiting on a dress form my awesome husband got me a Hancock is been like 3 weeks and still they have not gotten the orders in the warehouse been told but am getting ansi, really want to star on this 2 patterns.

 For the first one am going to use a nice rayon fabric (pic coming tomorrow) and for the last one I have my eyes on vintage fabric on ebay (crossing fingers hope I get it) to make it.

Am very happy to tell the world but specially my little Sophia that I have finish her vintage cape

Well that is the pic with out her buttons but is all done, I have forgotten how to finish the arm openings, need to do another one for my little Nicole and one for me, but for her to use this around the house and not be cold and still feel like a little lady.

I also made this form for when I make them clothes my girls hate to stand still even for a few seconds.

I have to fill it up and add a better hanger.

I also have this two patterns that I want to star to cut, for my little angels.

Last week I got all this wonderful patterns and am selecting the fabrics from the stash not a easy task.
