Some Latest Sewing Projects

Lovely sweater on the left, hand me down from a generous sister

Couldn't resist making this after seeing one on MakeItAndLoveIt

New pair of pants, made from an old shirt I never really wore, it was too short for me



Absolutely love bum ruffles. This may be some kind of illness they haven't identified yet.  :)

Is it hard to make the bum ruffles? It looks like it would be tricky! I'm very impressed with your skills. Good on ya mate! (I'm practicing to be Australian).

Laura, if you bring me a pair of pants, I would gladly make YOU some bum ruffle pants. :) Just because. Actually, the ruffles are super simple. You just sew a gathering stitch, or a long spaced out stitch, down the length of a piece of cloth, cut the leftover threads long and then pull on the threads until you find the one that makes "gathering" happen. Super simple. Then when your fabric is gathered how you would like, you sew it onto the pants. Easy Peasy.
