modern style, vintage soul
Last month I put together the pattern for this sweet little pleated skirt for Simply Sewing issue 26 featuring a gorgeous rayon print fabric from Rifle Paper Co. The issue arrived recently and I had fun flipping through the pages and checking out the other projects, too!
You should be able to find the issues on news stands here in the US at Barnes and Noble and JoAnn Fabrics.
Happy weekend crafting!
Dropping in today to share a peek at the cozy slipper DIY that I created for Simply Sewing issue 24. Something to keep you warm through the cooled months. Issue 24 was available on newsstands across the UK and Europe November 30. You can usually find copies in Barnes and Noble or JoAnn Fabrics here in the US – and all patterns are given in both metric and standard measurements.
Yay! Mollie Makes issue 57 is out in the UK, and I can share a peek today at the trendy tote DIY that I contributed. If you live in the UK, it should be available at your favorite stockist so you can make your own trendy tote in your favorite materials!
I loved the bronzey/goldish metallic lightweight leather that I found from a small shop on Etsy called Leather Treasure Shop and the hip canvas designed by Nate Berkus that I found in the home decor department of my local JoAnn Fabrics. It’s the perfect, understated combo for me to toss a few things in for an outing.
For my friends here in the US, we have to wait a bit longer. (darn it!) Instead, right now you can find Mollie Makes issue 56 on newstands in Barnes and Noble and at JoAnn’s! I stopped by last Sunday to grab a copy of the Somerset pub Faces for my artwork, and while I was there, I peeked around and saw this:
You can grab more info on making this fun duffle bag here. Have an amazing weekend! Will you be making anything? I’d love to hear what’s getting your excited about making if you feel like leaving a comment!
Today I’m finally tackling this easy printable sewing pattern for city gym shorts from Purl Soho that I shared forever ago. You can find all of the pattern links here. Yeah. That was a whole year ago. Good news is that I’m getting back to a lot more personal sewing!
Of course, when I pulled all of this together this morning, none of the piles of fabric that I have on hand were “just right” for what I wanted, so I “had” to run to the fabric store. (Classic, am I right?) That also means that I came home with supplies for two more projects. I can see where this is going!
