Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004: The Fashion Fabric & Lining Fabric
Hi everyone! It’s time for a new post in my series about how I made Vogue Pattern V2004! This time, I will be talking about the fabric I choose for the outer/fashion fabric and the lining fabric. By the time this post is published, the dress is already completed! The reasons why I decided to delay posts about making it in a more realistic time is due to the fact I had some fit problems with the bodice. I know what went wrong and how to fix it, but I needed time to focus on it instead of writing posts about the dress in real time. I will go into…

New Sewing Project! Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004
Hi everyone! It’s been a few years since I wrote a series of posts about sewing clothing. I used to do this a lot for the costumes I made. Today, I prefer to make my own clothes instead of costumes! Since I shifted my attention to sewing clothing for myself, I decided to document my process of making clothing in blog posts. The piece of clothing I decided to make is a summer dress using Vogue Pattern’s V2004. I planned on making this pattern for an Easter dress, but the physical pattern didn’t arrive until after Easter. I decided to use cotton sateen fabric to make view A (AKA the…

Pink and Green Log Cabin Quilt Block Pattern Ideas
It’s been a while since I talked about my work on the Pink and Green Log Cabin Quilt, but to be honest, there hasn’t been much progress since my last post about the quilt. Even though I don’t have much to report about the quilt, I do have old photographs I took of the quilt as reference that I can use in posts! Since I’m still working on the quilt, I decided to talk about some of the old reference photographs as fill in topics to write posts about. Two of the photographs I want to talk about are of the placement and layout of the blocks. Since I used…

Fall Quilt Update- Quilting on the Fall Quilt Is Finally Finished!
Hi everyone! I have some happy news! I finally finished quilting the fall quilt! Here’s a photograph of the finished quilt… I’m very happy with the way the quilt came out, but there are some spots I wanted to go back and work on quilting some more. I thought they would look better if I quilted them, but after trying to quilt them, I didn’t like the way they looked. After taking a few days rest, I looked at the quilt and decided I didn’t need to quilt them after all. So, the quilting is now finished! All I need to work on is the binding. I plan on making…

Fall Quilt Quilting Progress Update
Hi everyone! I finally made a decision about how large I want my quilt to be. After a lot of thought, I decided to keep the quilt the size it currently is. I don’t like the idea of making the quilt larger because I think the fabric I wanted to add to the border of the quilt will take attention away from the panel’s picture. I also plan on turning the quilt into a wall hanging, but I don’t plan on adding the wall hanging sleeves to it for a while. Since I decided what the size of the quilt should be, I started to work on actually quilting it!…

My New Sewing Project: Making a Fall Quilt
Earlier this year, I had the urge to sew again. I normally sew a lot whenever I’m stressed out and, at that time I was very stressed out. So, I decided to start sewing something that would take my mind off my worries. After digging through my pile of fabric, I decided to make a queen sized fall quilt using a panel and fabric I already purchased that correspond with the panel.
