Last week I was able to sew up a white collared shirt for my summer travels. I used some white poly/cotton fabric and thrifted buttons:
My favorite part about this blouse are the pintucks down the front. They add such a nice feminine, but classic touch. Thanks Shannon for your help with this! =)
I wanted a no-iron jumper for my month-long journey away from home, and I was glad to find some stashed tropical breeze to make up into a favorite princess-style jumper.
Ties are sewn into the back princess seams and tied in a knot These will make a good pair awhile at the Strings Workshop. Until I return, cheerio!
Nice job -- I also like the tucks a lot!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time on your vacation!
You're welcome, Cheri! ;) Your blouse looks just lovely, and I love the jumper. They both look very summery!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Strings Workshop!
Yours in Christ,
Shannon
beautiful blouse!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pintucks...you are so creative and not just always "sticking to the pattern" but rather doing other things that look so neat. But, may I ask, where do you find the time?? Is sewing all you do?? (just kidding!!)
On a totally different topic...(well, it might not be so far fetched) - do you have any recommendations for courses/books/etc,.. for learning the violin? I've always wanted to learn, and (shamefully) 2 years ago purchased a violin for myself, but have never pursued it that much. It's just another thing to add to my ever growing list, but still, I would like to know any suggestions. Are there any good ways to *easily* learn at home, or is it best to have a teacher??
thanks for your help!

Thankyou ladies!
ReplyDeleteRuth Ann,
LOL! I guess one makes time for things that they want/need to do! =)
For violin, I would recommend that you find a teacher. And if possible, go to the recitals that his/her students play in and watch them. It will give you a good idea of the teacher's capability of teaching.
A website that I like to recommend to people would be www.violinmasterclass.com They videos they have wouldn't replace a teacher, but it does help sometimes with learning.
Cheri, I know you're away just now, but I've tagged you for a book meme -- check out my blog if you'd like to participate!

I love your jumper. It looks so nice and cool.
ReplyDeleteI know Shannon just tagged you for the book meme, but I just did too. It must come from both reading the same blogs. :-)
I hope your trip has been smooth.
