Holiday Outfits

Made From G Street Fabrics 'Treasure Hunt' Room-2.97 yard

Scarf is just a leftover strip of fabric from another black glitter woven fabric with an accordian pleat - found in the 'Treasure Hunt Room' 2.97 a yard

The Red Jacket is the Free Flowing Cardigan Pattern:
Shortened 6 inches so it can be used with dresses or pants.  I am 5'2".

The dress is using one of my old faithful easy-quick dress patterns, but this Flowy Ribknit makes it look different.

Adjustment of neckline to make it higher, since the fabric was soo stretchy and I was going to use the infinity scarf-turtle neck look

Silver Glitter Rib Knit Found

This looks like a turtle neck, but the dress has a regular neckline with a bias strip top band and there is an infinity scarf made separately from this pattern:

Gold and Black Glitter Chiffon with Gold and Yellow Glitter Sweater Knit for Shirt and Gold Glitter Poinsetta Pants on Yellow

Beautiful Gold Cut Velvet Burnout and Sweetheart Neckline Black Glitter Knit with Black Stretch Lace Attached Tunic and Crepe Stretch Pants

The Top is the freeflowing Cardigan, the Pants are my regular 20 minute tubins'  The top is made by combining two patterns and sewing the front body piece of lace onto the glitter knit cut from the sweetheart neckline top.  I was able to leave the scallop edge on the bottom of the tunic and made little slits on each side of the lace.  The pieces were only sewn together at the sweetheart neckline and the side seams so the lining was shorter and let the lace show well at the bottom and the neckline.   Sleeves were the glitter knit without lace, but the back of the shirt was attached to the glitter knit at the lower part of the yoke.  The 'Lacy Look' for the holidays and evenings.

Old Faithful 20 minute tubin' pants by using this comfy pattern and making the legs wider so they are not tight like leggins....Can look professional but be leggin comfy at the waist.

Raincoat

I found Raincoat Lining or what might be some kind of Ski Jacket material in the Treasure Hunt Room of 2.97 a yard material.... I didn't have a raincoat... so I decided to make one.

I made the lining the day it snowed and wore the lining inside out... so I put pockets in the lining itself so I would have pockets that day

I turned under the edge all the way around hood and all-and top stitched it so I could wear it... Here it is the way it will be in the coat itself.

The Raincoat itself is kind of silver gray waterproof material found the same day in the Treasure Hunt Room at 2.97 a yard.

The Raincoat Pockets will be the insulated lining so it is soft and comfy when I put my cold wet hands in the pockets...  Maybe I will have enough to make mittens... LOL

Pockets out of Insulated lining

I  am going to try to make a strip like belting around the coat at waist height to drawstring and give it some added shape... A bit wider than it shows on the pattern.

Well, so it is a furry raincoat... Yes, I added fur, and I think I am going to do all of the edges... Pin test and then sew

Yes, on the cuff too, not quite this wide

Around the edges.... and then I will turn inside out and put the waistband along the back so I can have a little shape to the coat-- Remember the whole thing is reversible... one side silver and one side brownish black

Belting just at the back from seam to seam but a loose piece that I can overlap and hook or tie... maybe grommets and ratail or bolo cord through the grommets..

Inserted Elastic into the belting and put DRings on the end... Belting done...

Raincoat DONE and Reversible with Pockets in both sides

One side Silver the other side Dark Brown.

I made Straight Loose Sleeves with no Cuffs and extended the bottom to a straight edge for more of a raincoat look but short coat to be able to get in and out of the car.  With this fabric combination - this pattern with a few adjustments worked great for me.

Make a bunch of elastic waistbands and lay them on the sewing machine table...when you make your pants... just flip the fabric over the top of the band and top stitch... don't waste time pulling elastic through a casing..

Always have some pants cut out, cut 3 at a time and lay next to sewing machine and when you have 20 minutes... You can have a new pair of pants...and sooooo comfy.

I Love to Spread the news that YOU can sew too.

I don't do anything complicated.  I don't have a serger or a fancy sewing machine.  My machine is over twenty hears old and I have a back up sewing machine that is the same.  I sew every day unless I am sick.  If I don't sew then when I do I sew twice as much.  It makes me feel good. 

 

You can only do so much scrapbooking - LOL 

The scrapbook cabinet is in the background...HaThis one ended up with a blanket..LOL

Or you scrapbook a pin... Yep thats me in the middle

 Even a tiny pin that is quilted I can put on my lapel or a cross stitch pin.  Then I feel confident for the day.

picture from my kayak...see my paddle

Sometimes you see things next to your kayak... YEP that is a giant turtle.

I walked to the end of Cape Hatteras one vacation and saw where the Ocean and the Sound Meet-I felt like I was on the edge of the world

I laid out on the beach as the sun came up and it was spectacular

I don't just sew, but nature inspires me to wear beautiful colors
