Balls, and JJ Top


Finished my holiday blouse just in time for Christmas Eve. Got to use rhinestone vintage buttons from antique mall in Bellingham. This pattern was ridiculously easy. Credits to Burdastyle for another awesome FREE pattern.






Would like to finish a ton of other sewing projects including those using another massive fabric find at Value Village. Unfortunately, it is back to work at 6:00 AM on Saturday for another long week. Balls. Merry Christmas, though.

Holiday Things




More making things, although not as much as I should be. Finished another puffy hat for a gift, and now am working on hand warmers. These should not take me more than a few more days to make. They are basic 2x2 rib on the cuff, and then a seed stitch all around. I am working with double pointed needles because I hate sewing stuff together at the end, and I think it looks nicer without the seams.

Awesome fabric!!




I picked up YARDS of awesome fabric from Lynnwood Value Village yesterday. I am dreaming of turquoise sweaters, ruffly tops, and corduroy pants with big black buttons. And most of all a furry coat with this amazing print!!!


Unfortunately, the yardage is only about 1.5, but I WILL make it happen!!
