Vacuuming the Lawn: December 2014
http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. 2014 Year in Review. Instead of a Christmas tree, this was my ode to the holidays. This is the first week that I've had the week between Christmas and New Year's off since 1998 and it is AMAZING. Utter joy, I tell you. I have taken other weeks off and not traveled, but there is something about staying home this week that is totally decadent. Less commitments and no routine. Happy New Year everyone! 1 ginko leaf pillow. 3 (and a half) Sewaholic Renfrew shirts. 5 New Look skir...

Vacuuming the Lawn: November 2014
http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. Guess what I'm working on? I *loved* your responses to my Online Sewing Class Confessional. I want to respond to your comments individually this week. But I wanted to show you what I am currently working on. Perhaps it's the most unwieldy thing I've ever sewn. Looks like a toaster cover, ha ha. Unwieldy, I tell you. Friday, November 28, 2014. Online Sewing Class Confessional. Gratuitous cranberry sauce picture- it is fun to watch the berries pop open. 1 Craftsy (altering RTW).

Vacuuming the Lawn: October 2014
http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 27, 2014. New Look 6071, Part 2: the modesty panel and the rest of the dress. So yes, I made two turquoise dresses in a row! First was NL 6071, which I never finished blogging about. I wrote part 1 here about the back of the dress here. Then I made that S1314 quilted dressed which I blogged about in a few posts, the last of which is here. These super-small, super-adorable square snaps are from Daytona Trimming in NYC. They're right next to the register and they don't seem to have them...

Vacuuming the Lawn: September 2014
http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2014. 27 hours in NYC with ATP. Me, in Vogue 1351 with Swatch at Mood. I have the best blog commenters! Thanks so much for all your suggestions about Simplicity 1314. Antoinette is in town for a work gig, so we met up for 27 hours again. Last time we met up in NYC, in May 2013,. It was also for 27 hours, so there you go. Me and Kashi. The fabric for my dress and the exterior fabric for my bag were purchased at Kashi's in June of 2013 during my visit with Maria (velosewer). Today we...

Vacuuming the Lawn: August 2014
http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2014. Another tank for the gym: black and turquoise Simplicity 9776-ish. So this is the other gym tank I made last week on my vacation. It's Simplicity 9776 again, modified to use FOE as I learned in the PR class "More Knits" last summer. My serger really hacked up the inside of my black and white tank. I was wondering, do I need to replace the blade? Break down and buy a serger that threads itself and adjusts its own tension? I wore it at the gym to boogietone on Monday night, but I...

Vacuuming the Lawn: Vogue 8571 Red Dress Done!
http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2014/08/vogue-8571-red-dress-done.html
Monday, August 18, 2014. Vogue 8571 Red Dress Done! I picked up the pattern at MPB Day 2013 last year. And thought it would be fun to wear it to MPB Day this year. I finished it 5 days after MPB Day 2014 occurred, oops! I purchased this fabric in San Diego at a swap meet last November with Elizabeth. It has crosswise and lengthwise stretch. It is a stretchy and synthetic, the kind of fabric I love because it means little-to-no wrinkles! I really love the gathers in the back and the front. I am on staycat...

Vacuuming the Lawn: Black and White Gingham Summer Tote Bag
http://vacuumingthelawn.blogspot.com/2015/07/black-and-white-gingham-summer-tote-bag.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. Black and White Gingham Summer Tote Bag. Black and White Gingham! I love gingham and have quite a little stash of it but have never sewn gingham in the summer. I was inspired by Dana's video tutorial on how to make a simple tote bag. Where she used black and white gingham! But wound up combining elements of multiple tutorials for mine:. Dana's boxed out bag. Emmaline's interior zipper pocket tutorial. Black duck cloth in stash from Joann's (for the piping and the bottom contrast).

Sheep Rustling: Peeping From Under the Table
http://sheeprustling.blogspot.com/2015/04/peeping-from-under-table.html
AKA MazeyPrettyThings at Madeit.com.au and Etsy.com. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Peeping From Under the Table. A month ago I wrote a post about participating in Me-Made-May. I then didn't write anything else during that month, but kept telling myself it would be fine because I would make myself post at least once a week during May to explain what I was wearing that I had made myself. Arnaldo Pomodoro. It tells. It was, presumably, inspired by the gold death mask of Agamemnon. TAFTA Geelong Fibre Forum.
