I have been pretty productive lately. I followed the knee-high tutorial at ruffles and stuff and turned Haley's too small tights into knee-highs. I cut off the waist to make my own elastic top and I think next time I will stick with the tutorial and use purchased elastic. They are bit bulky at the top with the waist band elastic. She loves them and has been wearing them non-stop for the last three days. I finally told her today she has to put them in the dirty clothes before they get too stinky :)
I can't get this to rotate, oh well. I also took a pair of her leggings that had a hole in the knee and chopped them off to make bike shorts she can wear under skirts in the summer:
This was good practice for sewing knits. I need to get some ball point needles for this.
I have been working on turning a pair of my boot cut jeans into slim leg jean (not fully skinny). I think they are almost done. With all of these projects they are learning exercises :) With the jeans I picked out at least one row of stitches and redid it. Today I will trim, finish and press the seams.
Fixed a ripped seam on Haley's pjs last night, not exciting, but it is nice to be able to do my own mending. Going to the sew expo this Thursday, very excited. Debating about joining the American Sewing Guild. There is a couture sewing group that meets once a month that I would love to participate in.
