It's been like forever since I have posted anything new. So much has happened and changed. I am still sewing though not making costumes for the dance studio anymore. I miss it so much, but decided to go back to school to study fashion/ costume design. Two classes a semester, two kids, and a full time job keep me very busy. Just to update I will post final project from each of the classes I have completed. Then maybe start to add more recent sewing and drawing projects as I finish them.Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796707418802409299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241487044472591263.post-11206699542404200232009-09-13T18:02:00.002-04:002009-09-13T18:19:59.149-04:00Andrea's New Sun DressAndrea started working on this dress in May. She wanted to make it all by herself. Andrea picked out the pattern and fabric and all the notions needed to complete her project.She cut out each pattern piece. I helped her lay out the pattern pieces on the fabric and she pinned each piece then cut it out. Andrea asked a couple of times for help when she got tired. It took a month of working on it here and there just to finish cutting the pattern.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381076457655368562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifU5kcqkTiBeW2ut5BTmlh-PRNVdGmDHVRyO2SFIKlW-2FdN3GNQHPQecya8trpAFJ1eKoCdALUq79qzS5WEModZN9mhdC-NlBaL6p6V6DNju0rmKKwNhg-o3ysKavQiKQCUzEGPtUDKY/s320/andreas+dress.JPG" /><br /> In June as school was ending Andrea started to sew the pieces together. She ran into a little trouble with the bottom. It was suppose to be orange like the top part, but a miss-cut lead to not enough of the orange fabric. We went to the store to get more only that color was gone. So Andrea choose the green instead.<br /><div> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381076464059936306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz6vlI8pcGgX7mdfOWXsWu4hTVeki3r15B5u-jmTW9GqSIDyyKCIB5CqlvLNkklsep0lO62_Ysmak76dDXoLJypOq5keMQqyQtUx4eJg7Z6gXK4uFpXvZdoKfHTHKakYylgx45rOImo6M/s320/andreas+dress+up+close.JPG" /><br />The flower- Had to have the flower of course.<br /><div><br /> </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381076470548173250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8syzPpUqGS_8CTwdijVE8FZaMQzRIpEOzNGvVffao_Px22YXAc96gIjcl_nLR4ouNWAz5Gw6yFjLImsiF5Eg3qULBjzftHIODpbA5Ss0Z9PVzUMDJ04vl-Movx1fiyWI3DCzwEYDu1Ts/s320/andreas+dress+back.JPG" />Andrea finished it today .I think it came out great! Andrea made 95% of this dress. I helped with the flower and I sewed in the zipper. She hoped to have it for a summer sundress. She'll have to settle for wearing it to school with a sweater over it. I hope that she will attempt to make the matching jacket. Time will tell.<br /></div><div>Andrea age 8 1/2 (can't forget the 1/2 though, She'll be 9 in a month)</div>Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796707418802409299noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241487044472591263.post-69067501489702248192009-07-05T10:51:00.004-04:002009-09-06T13:16:36.118-04:00Time Warp<div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Andrea did a tap dance to Time Warp ( chipmunk style) for her dance recital. she had to wear a crazy costume.

I started by signing my name to a blank sheet of paper during a childcare class that I was bored with. after 20 minutes I had a hand. the date was added last. For those that are wondering yes I am right handed and it is my right hand that I have drawn.

Following Celie's Pants blog I was inspired. Her and a few fellow bloggers challenged each other to create a skirt using a large print fabric. I could not decide on a skirt so I opted for a dress in a linen flower print fabric someone had given me sometime ago.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUTqvjGrkc1iTLV-GikINw3tb7Ov4Nf4B94whALvYOf6lhLE1zGkfJFz7alc01GKZbym0mK-0xQoAX19c9f5FwwFzXI_7OGlchBOB8t9H3EILzD-08LbUJWjF6TyJ_UvKrJIt31SSp6XU/s1600-h/side+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349432770794519986" style="WIDTH: 64px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUTqvjGrkc1iTLV-GikINw3tb7Ov4Nf4B94whALvYOf6lhLE1zGkfJFz7alc01GKZbym0mK-0xQoAX19c9f5FwwFzXI_7OGlchBOB8t9H3EILzD-08LbUJWjF6TyJ_UvKrJIt31SSp6XU/s200/side+1.JPG" border="0" /></a>I started by making a muslin. I made the necessary alterations to the pattern and then put the dress together. I have to say for making my first muslin I need lots of practice in the alteration department.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwzcr0qi-Ozt8PK4eMyCWPxZVAzhzO3bIuRi4ubTbA1aT0eEREx8VM4qbAAOoT1RlKTkVXvZACtrk3qKOhIfStRoORzwdQzpqz0fYf58y1AZdlLe-3h4_oeEdS34WM8i2oeqcD3v24q6M/s1600-h/side+2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349432771053189042" style="WIDTH: 88px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwzcr0qi-Ozt8PK4eMyCWPxZVAzhzO3bIuRi4ubTbA1aT0eEREx8VM4qbAAOoT1RlKTkVXvZACtrk3qKOhIfStRoORzwdQzpqz0fYf58y1AZdlLe-3h4_oeEdS34WM8i2oeqcD3v24q6M/s200/side+2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>After putting it all together I tried it on and found it way too big. I had to take the sides (complete with hidden zipper) apart and take about 2 inches off of each side. I may have made the sides a little too tight, but I will live with it (I am not doing the zipper again.) The bust still needs work . The lining I added seems to work fine, though the linen print is still too baggy in this area. I feel like I am 7 and wearing dressing up in my mother's dress for play. Maybe it is just because the linen distorts some while working with it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8iwBA6L0wyqfAkSJECHpCWq0D91FpI9abQvKYZDjOK_d6lCBbjUM8fhswT-sik3tknIsebdt1ph5Ei2VtduD5Xpn3fhxw0bnSYJMiDAPejrziHztNxNlwm1FYGe74i9nwO8BHRyaW_M/s1600-h/IMG_1910.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349432765832059218" style="WIDTH: 112px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8iwBA6L0wyqfAkSJECHpCWq0D91FpI9abQvKYZDjOK_d6lCBbjUM8fhswT-sik3tknIsebdt1ph5Ei2VtduD5Xpn3fhxw0bnSYJMiDAPejrziHztNxNlwm1FYGe74i9nwO8BHRyaW_M/s200/IMG_1910.JPG" border="0" /></a>All in all I am pleased with the results.<br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796707418802409299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241487044472591263.post-23665344761325235032009-06-01T18:36:00.006-04:002009-06-01T18:45:17.582-04:00Sew Nana<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjSikbaRcc4Llhyu71oWd4wa160ipZC7Wj-QuUUTriIXYU-rqmhfoMcWByDCKGWTbr2RMeApxypSYwd_gYqf_opXzH9PXsFc4_hEE-xkV3yN2mRj1C_qvok-2mADJyPVeOtgjKGgV9zg/s1600-h/IMG_1766.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342492685615953474" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjSikbaRcc4Llhyu71oWd4wa160ipZC7Wj-QuUUTriIXYU-rqmhfoMcWByDCKGWTbr2RMeApxypSYwd_gYqf_opXzH9PXsFc4_hEE-xkV3yN2mRj1C_qvok-2mADJyPVeOtgjKGgV9zg/s200/IMG_1766.JPG" border="0" /></a>I though my Nana could use a couple of new shirts. rather than take her out to purchase them I chose to make them myself.

It should take me a couple of more weeks to finish it up.</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxQYKvTXe80ioOppJ559kj9wj_dDc9cktgfLxM3jaTlj0iUADQt6UztP2-k-d6PRycFYBWghaYSw4-TFtPemhhUcwc1YKYqdR8eRhQ-3_m6OaBKAWl8QefOGf0ST3dlrQoWuYPC8W9YK0/s1600-h/dream.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333567539446387138" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxQYKvTXe80ioOppJ559kj9wj_dDc9cktgfLxM3jaTlj0iUADQt6UztP2-k-d6PRycFYBWghaYSw4-TFtPemhhUcwc1YKYqdR8eRhQ-3_m6OaBKAWl8QefOGf0ST3dlrQoWuYPC8W9YK0/s320/dream.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Faith also got a new bed. because her room is now so small we changes the captains bed in for a loft bed. she sleeps about a foot from the ceiling, but the floor space underneath is much better. </div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioHQTTS4_8ovTbmhr82UXx4eJtxvYUjzdV8IOKRRJC5cO9wgEeW7YJBNHLSD5vNzUHcJmjEO6nlqWP5jV_MhX9CLKncSqPLi9syrxUEl1ECpQKis_HpUbMjBZVJvUcpBPLsk-exU8IdjY/s1600-h/what+if.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333567538630012386" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioHQTTS4_8ovTbmhr82UXx4eJtxvYUjzdV8IOKRRJC5cO9wgEeW7YJBNHLSD5vNzUHcJmjEO6nlqWP5jV_MhX9CLKncSqPLi9syrxUEl1ECpQKis_HpUbMjBZVJvUcpBPLsk-exU8IdjY/s320/what+if.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>I still have to make curtains and would like to get a desk for her to study at and possibly a bean bag chair to lounge on . </div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO7viIUZufN5uNkbsfGD6WLnURR2eaXlWz21oD-WiOCnDbu-6R3-d3zKxBv-oIn9IA9XrfCZrLh14_l7SmFDWe5hUtJAxuIOh4UwNE61VLQGtNmIFby6p7epQcujsYjRDBqiNrRFxSFeM/s1600-h/edwardconstlation.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333567537255085202" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO7viIUZufN5uNkbsfGD6WLnURR2eaXlWz21oD-WiOCnDbu-6R3-d3zKxBv-oIn9IA9XrfCZrLh14_l7SmFDWe5hUtJAxuIOh4UwNE61VLQGtNmIFby6p7epQcujsYjRDBqiNrRFxSFeM/s320/edwardconstlation.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div>Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796707418802409299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241487044472591263.post-55176965568160116162009-04-27T18:52:00.005-04:002009-05-16T16:01:45.394-04:00my sisters new hat<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu5a41u8Gc7zswjVdTUkLUWonAGqkokaF_47FWFlKBgxLf1zmupSLEulo_obGxSrbA9vTpl_7kHEMUOhhoQh4_ODsMz1F2_21RXJw6sVSm_eoUACpHhHV2dtNa6uW-lyruPO7-UKN_hfM/s1600-h/sam+and+orange+hat.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329508566546015090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu5a41u8Gc7zswjVdTUkLUWonAGqkokaF_47FWFlKBgxLf1zmupSLEulo_obGxSrbA9vTpl_7kHEMUOhhoQh4_ODsMz1F2_21RXJw6sVSm_eoUACpHhHV2dtNa6uW-lyruPO7-UKN_hfM/s320/sam+and+orange+hat.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Orange Hat</div><div>We went to Saratoga Springs NY for Easter weekend.

Here are some finished photos. My favorite part of making this costume was the 12 inch hem. Instead of cutting the extra length off as I usually do I decided to make hems in 2 inch increments. Everyone has commented on how authentic this looks for a period piece. I do have to agree. And as she grows I am able to let the hem down gradually so that she may wear this dress for hopefully years to come.<br /><div> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmy64TjwjVb7Q_rxtpQTZ-w7nuXFf6qi9RNACrM8lST1EKYSX3U8uWVRr2sQcxCtaH8yHKEZ04dLhq0G-45uzqwX7-i20S13vHpk7a4kkDlLoMdbCmcTYgNcdM1KDXeIdOIW8VSJrUo30/s1600-h/DSC00012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266450643093097090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmy64TjwjVb7Q_rxtpQTZ-w7nuXFf6qi9RNACrM8lST1EKYSX3U8uWVRr2sQcxCtaH8yHKEZ04dLhq0G-45uzqwX7-i20S13vHpk7a4kkDlLoMdbCmcTYgNcdM1KDXeIdOIW8VSJrUo30/s320/DSC00012.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUwxAYjSMMaatKi2B6y8Ow1NkgXuPLrT8bXCSciCiSLufWWCw8mt8rareavey6lHY85gYio_Blzr9TkulCEyOD991I3-ej8ri-LfvRxIxoH8Z1YJ66BOWOfUr0uhZ_5hs0n-fsvfD1VkE/s1600-h/DSC00010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266450638116767090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUwxAYjSMMaatKi2B6y8Ow1NkgXuPLrT8bXCSciCiSLufWWCw8mt8rareavey6lHY85gYio_Blzr9TkulCEyOD991I3-ej8ri-LfvRxIxoH8Z1YJ66BOWOfUr0uhZ_5hs0n-fsvfD1VkE/s320/DSC00010.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmy64TjwjVb7Q_rxtpQTZ-w7nuXFf6qi9RNACrM8lST1EKYSX3U8uWVRr2sQcxCtaH8yHKEZ04dLhq0G-45uzqwX7-i20S13vHpk7a4kkDlLoMdbCmcTYgNcdM1KDXeIdOIW8VSJrUo30/s1600-h/DSC00012.JPG"></a> </div></div></div>Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796707418802409299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241487044472591263.post-72328486634412344722008-09-17T00:42:00.002-04:002009-05-16T16:03:39.603-04:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgapGerX3teLU2v9ztoxTzAzrI-WndsMvVi3AycAWXPSlJmob2mSlNek9XEB_Myee0q8IUGvVZeR9VRDVtrEw8lEhP7kH39DIC4l2K9bBYHrVPvo3vloKnlN3w6_OXwxk6yf9GjBLgSw9w/s1600-h/DSC_0032.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246796322504310706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgapGerX3teLU2v9ztoxTzAzrI-WndsMvVi3AycAWXPSlJmob2mSlNek9XEB_Myee0q8IUGvVZeR9VRDVtrEw8lEhP7kH39DIC4l2K9bBYHrVPvo3vloKnlN3w6_OXwxk6yf9GjBLgSw9w/s400/DSC_0032.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I love to sew. I started our sewing by my Nana's side when I was a young girl. I would take her scraps and just sew lines into fabic. straight lines, zig zag lines, fancy lines it did not matter. As soon as the unneeded fabric hit the floor it was gold to me. </div><div></div><div>As I got older I made some doll clothes. I did not use a pattern, I just knew what I wanted it to look like and went from there. </div><div></div><div>I really got into sewing when my oldest daughter was born 13 years ago. I loved to make dresses for her to wear. unfortunatly as she got older she liked to wear what I made less and less. She will still wear a home made halloween costume. </div><div></div><div>My youngest at 8 is thrilled when I say I am going to make her a dress or skirt to wear. She loves to dress up (like as in Halloween) I feel that because I work hard to make clothes for her that she should be able to wear them all the time . This includes school too. </div><div></div><div>For back to school I made her a poodle skirt. I think she wears it once a week. It makes me happy to see her so excited to put on something that I have made. </div><div></div><div>I do other things too. I make costumes for Studio 109 drama productions. above is a Cheshire cat costume I made a year ago for a version of "Alice in Wonderland" The wanted it to look like the animated movie. I think it came out pretty good. They loves it. ( It is my oldest in side) There was no pattern for the head. I just made it up as I went along. The studio is now using the costume in a dance number along with many of the other costumes I have created. What do you think?</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796707418802409299noreply@blogger.com0
