Clue for next month:
Sponsor: Punk Frockers! Labels and patches
Catch up:
Jenny: I’m having fun with my new one sleeved bodice, but mostly by fabric shopping for outrageous fabrics – like a stretchy foil, crushed velvet, etc. I’ve finally begun to come out of my design/sewing stupor and begun sewing again in the mornings. Mostly gifts – so not as much to talk about.
Beverly: Variation of Hinterland dress in Merchant and Mills large gingham yarn dyed linen, navy/red for my Christmas dress
For Jim: Merchant and Mills Sidney in Merchant and Mills jacquard fabric from Domesticity.
Anecdote – heard a first time Christmas celebrator refer to it as having a part-time job from mid November until Christmas. I love this, but I think a better analogy is taking a course – you don’t have to keep all semester, but when you don’t, the time before the final sucks!
Community news:
Style arc has sewing tutorials for many of their patterns. They have been trying to improve their directions, but also want to offer these tutorials to supplement.
New patterns:
Friday Pattern co Saturday Skirt set
This looks right up Jenny’s alley! Long skirt with tie front top, exposing a bit of belly.
Merchant and Mills The Elling – men’s trousers
An everyday men’s elasticated trouser with front slanted pockets and back patch pockets. Make them with or without a zip.
Recap #pfPajamaParty
Jenny : Bupkis. I think I’m likely to make one PJ like dress (secret pajamas) before the season ends – but no promises!
Beverly: pajamas I talked about last week – love them and have been wearing them a lot. Good for lounging too.
