Well hi welcome to my little blog. Just my little corner of craftiness, sewing, and refashioning. I am also a newly gluten free eater so you have a little bit of recipes mixed in here.

Muse dress pattern from Butterick (FAIL)

Last year I started to sew this pattern with some fun stretchy polyester I had. But it literally was such a challenge to sew...
Oy the sleeves



I totally picked the wrong fabric. This year I tried to finish it but the sleeves did not even remotely fit the armholes, everything was askew. 

Here is the fail... I stopped after this b/c I tried to "fix" but cutting the top of the sleeves down. Which then ruined my sleeves. Lesson learned. This was the wrong fabric to use. There is no easing polyester that is thick. 

I know I normally post- look what I did sort of posts on Saturday but right now I am out on travel. There may be minor interruptions in the blog. My apologies. Will be back shortly! 

Cheers,
Lauren

Day 62: Blue Shirt FAIL

Well this weekend was another bust. I started to get sick on thursday and was pretty much useless on Friday, missing work. My head is finally feeling better and I am cohesive but I got nothing done with packing, or sewing, or blogging. So needless to say I am a little behind. I usually blog on the weekends or at night and schedule them but that did not happen this weekend. Today is another sewing fail :( I had this great fabric but now later I am realized this is a liner fabric and not a wear sort of fabric. It is all about learning huh? Right??

I decided to use this pattern

I did the purple/longer sleeve option. what I did not realize is this fabric was way to thin to use for this pattern. Really it is not good for anything. The binding for the neckline was too short. I know I cut it on the bias but there isn't enough stretch. I felt the neckline was too low for my comfort. I tried to save the top by gathering the neckline but that didn't help. I decided to throw in the towel.

Otherwise the pattern would have fit nicely. I would like to alter the front neckline to cover up more and I think this pattern would be full of win. I have more of this sort of fabric and I have decided to back it with fusible fleece or interfacing and make more bibs for charity like I did here.

Here's to finishing a post by the end (!!!) of the day and here's to me writing for a little bit longer tonight to at least make it to tomorrow. For more of my 90 days of blogging posts click here.

xoxoxo,
