skirt from magic pattern book

This is from two pairs of old jeans. This is just the front. I may get some seahawks trim and add it to the ruffle.  So far this book has been really fun - I can make stuff from my stash and not have to buy a pattern. The instructions are really clear too. All super easy


the picture from the book

how it looks so far

two flounces pinned on

Two flounces pinned on. I think this will be cute.  I used the cover stitch on the flounce hems.  I am getting better at it and it is so easy to set up on my fancy serger

NEW GARMENT

This is from an article in Threads about upcycling shirts (first photo).So I bought 3 shirts at goodwill and combined them into this. I really like it. It was easy and I love how the button plackets went on.

THIS IS ONE OF THE WOMEN'S OUTFITS


More on the hospital clothes

These is the project I am working on now. Designer sketch and the pattern I made. I had to make changes becasue the sketches were not done with production and fit and fabric in mind.

There are two more women's styles. I have the patterns made and all. I just need to finalize. I hope to finish them tonight.

another ride, in the rain and fog

this is from the fitting I just did

So, I did patterns and muslins for 6 pieces. They turned out well.  Hard to tell from these photos but they are what was necessary. Now I will update the patterns.
