Final Entry - Pattern Review Sewing Bee

Wowzer, was that ever a ride.  I really had fun working on my entries, and I'm also happy to be finished.  My final projects is this pair of pants using the new Lutterloh kit I received just a week ago. I can't wait to start another project using it.

The Mad Seamstress

I can see my direction has changed since my last post in.....September?  I'm not a very good blogger. That is so me though, my mind always goes for a spin in another direction. I can't do all the things I want to do or have ideas for, etc.

But I should blog a bit, so I'm thinking I'll work on that before the end of the year, change things up, and freshen up the blog and actually use it.

I've been busy sewing for the Pattern Review Sewing Bee, having just finished up Round 3, though we won't know who passes on to Round 4 until this weekend.  It's been so much fun and so very motivating.

Challenge 1 was an A-line Skirt

Challenge 2 was reconstructing from men's buttondown shirts.

Challenge 3 was a knit dress from 2 fabrics (pattern given to us.)

Wish me luck as I do hope to pass on to the next round.

Winning a contest on Pattern Review - it's so much fun!

Thanks to everyone who voted for my entry in the Lingerie Contest on Pattern Review.  I'm excited that I took second place with my gorgeous combination shown below:

I really do enjoy sewing bras, it's just such a feeling of accomplishment once it's done and when it fits perfectly it's even better.  I will admit it is a bit daunting to first try, but give it a go, and see what you come up with.

My winnings were any pattern for free from Pattern Review and I ordered the Angela Wolf Angel Boot Jean.  I got it today and it looks like a terrific pattern.

I'm looking forward to working on it soon, but I will need to order some nice new denim.
