From Friday To Friday

Remember for those that read my last post I was trying to do some thing this week. So I set myself a time limit for somethings I wanted to do. So let me tell you all how my week went from Friday to Friday. Here goes.


Friday I cut out patterns and fabric for my upcoming projects.


Saturday I did my sister baby blanket for my niece.


Here goes a picture.



Fabric is fleece plaid with double pink satin ribbon going around the fleece.
Lenght is 38 1/2 inches
Width is 30 inches
I added 2 pretty pink bows on two ends of the blanket to give it some pretty unique-ness. I hand sewn the satin ribbon on. Due that trying to sew fleece between satin it just don't work with the sewing machine.



See

Aint it cute.

Also on Saturday I did some little recon work.
Nesa has some pretty shirts that she can still fit but, the sleeves are starting to get a little to short due to her arms growing so long lol. So instead of her now just wearing them anymore. You all should know me by now. I did some little work by cutting the sleeves to make them short sleeves and just sewn it up.



See all three of these shirts.



Sunday I started and finished a shirt for myself.

I know you all totally remember this pattern.

I worked on this shirt for about 5 to 6 hours. This shirt was totally something new to me never done it but, I did take brakes in between.


But, here it go.

Pattern Size: Plus size 18 to 24

Description: A base tunic shirt with a tank top under it. The tunic twist in the front.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Some what I did a little changes to mines but, it does look like the photo on the envelope.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, very easy I didn't have no problem with the instructions.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Don't have no dislikes. I liked it. Love the twist in the front it fits very well.

Pattern Alteration or any design change you made? I only made one change and that was making the sleeves shorter and wider. To give it a little flow in the arms.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would sew it again. I already have plans in doing me a red one like this for Christmas. I would recommed it to others as well.

Conclusion: This tunic with the tank top turn out great love the fabric I picked out was totally surprised at how well it turn out.:)



Monday I started on my sister sweatshirt jacket worked on it for about 2 hours.


Tuesday no sewing got my tooth pulled and wasn't into do anything for this day.


Wednesday finished sister sweatshirt jacket after about 2 hours. I did my sister sweatshirt jacket just like mines.

What was crazy about this was I did mines and didn't have no problem but, trying to redo it I was totally confused lol. I had to go back looking at mines seeing how I did it. Crazy how that was. Doing it twice the same way was no joke but, I didn't have no problem with the zipper this time lol.

Friday I started cutting out lining to my coat. Did some shopping but, not much sewing today.


Ok not much crocheting but, I got this yarn and a pattern for a felt purse from Annies and Attic due that I join some kind of Hooks and Needles club that I totally forgot about it.

Here is the yarn and pattern. But, I don't know if I am going to use this yarn to make this purse. I am going to make a purse but, don't know if it will be this purse. For those that don't know me very well not into reading patterns as much. Don't get me wrong I can read them but, I rather go on the wing of things when it comes to crocheting I get more relaxed that way and don't feel stressed out when it comes to reading and following a pattern that's just me I guess.




Upcoming projects this week.

To finished my coat.


Also to start cutting out the pattern to this.



Using that fabric. That I totally fall in love with.


So that is it. My week from Friday to Friday.

Everyone have a great weekend take care.:)
