More Sewing

I have recently finished a housecoat for me. I don't wear a housecoat very often as there is just me and DH here but I thought if I ever have to go into a hospital I don't have a decent housecoat. This fabric was originally bought to make a jacket. It is quite heavy and since the coloring is light it would not be suitable for a summer jacket (too heavy) or a winter jacket (white with flowers) so I have enough for the housecoat. It is all done except for the buttons. I got dark blue one so it will look quite nice rather than with white buttons. I put white lace on the pockets and around the sleeves. Dark blue lace probably would have looked better but I didn't have any and the white was in the sewing room. I made View B in the smallest size. Very easy to sew and the fit is good.

Recent Sewing

I do sew a lot but never seem to get around to posting pics. I do love to see what others have done though. I made two nightdresses from this Burda pattern. I know it wasn't intended to be a nightdress but it works for me. I just added 8 inches to the length. This one is a very light weight knit. It is more green than shows in the pic. I did most of it on the serger except for the neckline facing. The other one I did is in the laundry but it is a heavier knit and a lighter green in color. Will post a pic when it is clean. I

Jalie 2805

I have not been a very good blogger. Can't believe how much time has passed since I last posted. I made two tops from Jalie 2805 and they fit perfectly right out of the package. I have another one cut out also. The blue/green one is fabric that I bought from MacPhee Workshop at a sewing show I attended. The black one is a wool knit that I got at Fabricland.I have even made friends with my CS machine and did the bottom and sleeve hem using the CS.

Sewing for DH

These are three tops that I made for DH. I used KS 2764 view A. The green one has the body section done with a heavey knit from Wazoodle. Somehow I didn't order enough for the whole top so had just enough to do the front and back. I did the sleeves from a fleec that was left over from a robe that I did for DGS several years ago. I used black ribbing for the neck, sleeves and waist band.

The blue one is the same KS pattern. Blue sweatshirt fleece from Walmart and the ribbing is from Marshalls. Couldn't get ribbing to match exactly.

Another top...same pattern. Blue sweatshirt fleece from Wazoodle and I used black ribbing.

I think this will the winter sewing done for him. Spring is on the way so it will be T shirts next.

The three fabrics shown in the pile are the recent purchases from Fashionista. I have a top cut out for me from the black and beige fabric. Of course I am using Burda 8363.
