幸せな休日!!!
私たちは、シェSEWNでここに偉大なホリデーシーズンを持っている. There’s been lots of cooking and lots of sewing. And there will be more sewing because this happened…
その小さなミシンはどのように素晴らしいです? My sister told me that my niece Katie had taken a sewing class this past fall. Well you can imagine my excitement at that news. Then a woman in my draping class brought in her new Janome Sew Mini machine and I knew I had the perfect Christmas gift for Katie.
昨日は縫い合わせ一日を過ごしました. She made her very first skirt. I had some lovely floral fine wale corduroy in my stash that had been bought expressly for her in NYC. We drafted an a line skirt based on her measurements and started her custom skirt. She was so excited.
私はどのように測定するために彼女を教えた, どのようにカットする, 機械の操作方法, how to press… Look how proud she is to wear her new skirt on Christmas day.
我々は少しタイト側にスカートを起草した可能性があります私は思う, 彼女は主張している “それは完璧だ!” すごくかわいい. Tomorrow we are making a matching purse on her new machine. Can’t wait to take it out of the box and show her how to use it. I hope she really gets into sewing. It would be so fun if she did.
私たちは彼女のスカートを終えていたが, 彼女は私が彼女の母の誕生日のトップを作るために使用される生地のスクラップで遊んで始めた. She folded it this way and that. She fiddled with it and came up with an idea to make a matching little purse for her mother.
それは閉鎖のようにフラップのためにのために耳を使用するように、ボタンを追加するために、彼女のアイデアだった. I had her pick a button from my stash. I fashioned some elastic to close over the button.
そして、私は私の妹のために作らトップ? It was an unintentional gift for her. I originally made it for myself, しかし、それは私のために小さすぎた. Good for my sister though. I took it in at the side seams a bit from the hem and tapering up to just under the arm seam. It was a little too voluminous. I will do a full on review of the pattern (KWIKは縫う 3802) 新しい年を経過した後. Right now I have my family visiting. I also made it for my best friend Cayce who needed the same change as my sister.
それは彼女にかわいい見ていません?
ああ, とのJammiepalooza 2013? It was hit. The kids loved them. The fabrics were so soft and thick. Perfect.
彼らはプレゼントを開けると、ここの子供たちは今朝、それらを身に着けている. Pretty hard to get good pictures of them in the hullabaloo.
私は、私たちの家で最後のエルフの目撃を掲示抵抗することはできません. My niece and nephew’s elf found our house on Christmas Eve, そのエルフは明らかにその夜チェスのゲームをプレイ. Jack’s elf was winning when we found them in the morning. Team Elfie!
よく, あなたがそれを祝い、私はあなたにすべての幸せな新年を希望する場合、私はあなたが良いクリスマスを持っていた願っています!
