Sewing extravaganza









Hey all!


I thought I'd catch you up on my latest sewing adventures.



First off, I made a blouse from a past patterns teens era pattern... (don't ask the number...) I bought some pale green material to make it up with. But we were having a cookout at my aunt's that weekend and I needed something to wear. I didn't want to use my good material since I knew I didn't have time to make it up properly. So I found this peach print and plain lining in my stash, and gave it a try. I LOVE IT!!! It's one of my favourite things in my wardrobe now!








Next though, I have to tell you how I made the piping around the collar, cuffs, and down the front.


On my, New to me, 1912, Mason Rotary treadle machine!!!





















Isn't it great! It came with a box full of attachments! My favourites are the ruffler (seen above, on the machine) and of course, the piper! I can just see the CW dresses I'l create!! :D



Finally though, I can't sign off without showing you the quilt I'm working on.
