Just putting this out there...
I plan on losing 5 pounds in February. That may not seem like a lot to some of you, but I think it's an attainable goal.
I think that my be the problem for a lot of us, we set our goals to high, and then when we don't reach them fast enough we start to fail. For example, when someone proclaims "I want to lose 40 pounds!' Is that really attainable? After a few months, sure, but it's not going to happen overnight. And I think that leaves a whole lot of room for discouragement. So, my goal for the whole month of February is going to be 5 pounds. I think that's an attainable goal, don't you?

There has been sewing, and there will be more...
I've been in the new house for 3 weeks as of tomorrow. I've actually got a lot of sewing done.
No pics, sorry. Maybe next time.
I made tab curtains for Suzies room. They are pink and purple. I bought the fabric for curtains for her room in Michigan right before we moved. I'm glad I was able to use that fabric, and that it didn't manage to sit in my stash for the next 5 years.
I made two night gowns. One pink and one purple. This was fabric left over fromt he curtains. All told for the two gowns and the curtains, I usd up 13 yeards. Too bad it was broadcloth, so it hardly made a dent. Now if I could just sew up 13 yeards of fleece, I could empty out a bin.
I made an apron to clean in. Every shirt I have ever cleaned in gets bleach all over it. I'm hoping the apron will help a tiny bit.
I made a little cat house. Basically I cut a hole into a box and hot glued fabric onto the box. Then I made a pillow to go inside. Cats loved it for the first few days. Now they could care less. A little over two yards for those two projects.
I feel like there was a fifth project in there somewhere, I just can't remeber what it was.

Friday Night Sew In December 10th
For those of you who may not know already, there are two scheduled FNSI's this month. The first is the 10th and the second is on the 17th. I plan on participating in both. I don't have any gifts planned, but I do have some garment projects planned for me. I need clothes badly, so now that i'm (basically) unemployed, I should make the best of it.
For those of you don't already know, I moved from the Detroit area to the Charlotte, NC area in November. I'm not sure how I feel about this anymore. At first I was all excited, but I think I was a bit delusional about the Charlotte area before I got here.
First, the weather has sucked since I got here. It's been 20 degress below average for the last ten days! It's almost as cold as it is in Michigan. This wasn't supposed to happen.
Second, can I just bitch about the fabric stores for a minute? I have two Hancocks in the area, and a place called MaryJo's. I have made a total of 5 vists to these 3 stores and I haven't purchaced a single yard of fabric. I'm not sure if it's because I just moved my whole stash half way across the country and I can no longer deny that I still need more stuff, or if it's just that i'm really not all that impressed with these stores. I really think it's the later, and yes, I know people are going to think i'm crazy because i'm not impressed with MJ's. Let me briefly tell you about MaryJo's. They have got a TON of stuff. It's a huge warehouse full of fabric, but unless you're a quilter or plannign home dec projects, most of the fashion fabric was just 'meh'. There was plenty of cottons, but what I was really looking for was some cool knits. I couldn't find anything decient. I can tell you, I won't be planning many trips there.
As for the Hancocks. Well, two dirty little stores with a crappy selection of fashion fabric. The one hancocks didn't even have any of the new patterns, and really at this point these patterns are not all that new. So it looks like it will be ClubBMV and Fabric.com for me. What a disappointment.
Oh well.

FNSI

Well, I didn't get too much accomplished during the Friday Night Sew In, but that's not all totally my fault.
I have the 'Sewing Clothes Kids Love' book, and I think it's a wonderful book. If you sew frilly dresses for young girls, apparently the Feliz dress in this book is the holy grail of dresses.
Anyway, back to the FNSI. All started out well on Friday. I decided to trace the Feliz pattern. Not only do I have the book this pattern comes in, I also have the individual pattern too. I decided to trace from the individual pattern because I like the heaver while paper it's printed on, as opposed to the regular old tissue paper that comes with the book. I also used the individual pattern because it's in German. I have other individual patterns from Studio Tantrum, and I thought this would be a good opportunity to brush up on my German. NOT! Not a single word that is on the pattern is in my (rather large) German to English dictionary. WTF! I might have some problems!
Anyway, the pattern is traced and the pieces are cut. Wish me luck, I hear that the first time you make this dress, it's a huge pain.

Friday Night Sew In
I've decided to join the Friday Night Sew In. I have a whole queue of things to get to tonight. And then we have the southeastern Michigan meet up in Ann Arbor on Saturday. I should get quite a bit accomplished.
Actaully, now that I think about it, I have been sewing a lot lately. I've made a dress and two tops in the last two or three weeks. That's good for me. Of course, I haven't been working much because of a health issue so I have a bit more free time, but whatever.
Anyway, hope you can join the FNSI! Seems like fun!

Is this really what its come down to?
I swear, i'm going to take a class or something. I totally feel like a new sewer all of a sudden. Bah!
For the last few weeks (OK, months) I haven't had much of an interest in sewing. I think the only thing I actually finished besides the Butterick dress was some cloth baby wipes for a friend.
It's not that I haven't been sewing. I'm trying. I'm really, really trying. It's just that nothing fits, I don't know how to fix it, and it's starting to piss me off!
My first attempt was a Vogue dress that was so big that after the first one or two (feeble) attempts at trying to fix it, I knew it was a wadder. My second attempt was a McCalls dress. I cut a size 14, but can you belive that the stupid thing is about 5 inches too big? So, another wadder. Attempt three is a pair of KS shorts. They are particially made, sitting there on the ironing board just waiting for their turn. I lost interest installing the zipper. Bah again!
So, today I decided I needed some instant gratification. I came across New Look 6464. Easiest project ever. Although, I think i'm about 15 years too old for this look, I just don't give a shit. I'm going to wear this sucker with pride until I can make something a little more age appropriate fit! HA HA

She's ALIVVVEEEE!
Heh? Sorta...
I'm really working on getting some sewing done. I'm actually making some progress. I was able to make a Helo Kitty tote bag for my oldest daughter. One yard down 999 to go... Apparently, the school really would rather the kids have tote bags and not back paks because they're easier. Fine with me because I didn't get DD a backpack this year. However, plenty of other parents did, because there in nothing but Hanna Montana backpacks as far as the eye can see during the kindergarten lineup.
I have a few patterns cut. One was a bunting pattern for my baby. Unfortunatly, I cut it out about 10 days ago. At the rate she's going, she'll be able to fit it for the next ten days or so. Sigh. Guess she's not getting a bunting.
I have a pattern cut for ME!! Wee! Simplicity 2774. I really need clothes, and hopfully this will get my sewing mojo going again. Besides, i'm getting tired of being LAME...
I did buy 10 yards of flannel to make buntings, jammies for the oldest kid and a gift for a nephews and his wifes baby shower. BUT, well, yeah... i'll get to that, eventually.

Fun With Vintage!
Yes, I know there are other blogs that go over this. And I know they are better at it, but this was just too good for me to pass up!
I was looking through the vintage patterns on Etsy.com the other day, and I just happened to come accross a few gems! The were so good infact, even DH thought they were funny.

Really, are these cartoon pattern cover chicks so ugly that we can't even see their faces? Was the illistrator new and unsure of how to draw faces? Wonder if the sexy bonnet (wonder how many google hits I get because I said 'sexy bonnet') is part of the pattern. I never checked.

IT'S FRANKENLADY!! I think the rose necklace is holding her head on -- or hiding the scars. Has to be. There is no other logical explianation!

Can I just bitch for a minute?
You ever notice how if one thing doesn't go rigth, nothing goes right?
Right now i'm really agitated with online retailers, USPS and shipping issues.
So, I buy patterns from PR a week or so ago. I get an email from Deepika telling me my patterns have been shipped. Great, I should have them in 2 or 3 days, right? WRONG! Apparently, USPS shipped my patterns to Washington state. So, my patterns Started in Mass. went to Wash. only to (hopefully) be back on their way to Michigan. My patterns are better traveled than I am! Just so we're clear. This is not a reflection on PR, the turn around was fast. This is a gripe about USPS. Which is my employer, BTW. How nice is that?
The day after I ordered the patterns from PR, I ordered some PUL fabric from whamsupply.com. Well, they say they have a turn around time of 4 days on orders. Well, I ordered early on the 30th, and it's now late on the 7th. Their website still says my order is processing, and they haven't answered my email.
Arg! eBay. I won some vintage patterns of of eBay the other day. I had a brief conversation with the seller, and she said she would ship yesterday. Well, I haven't get a tracking number in my email, so I assume i'll probably be waiting on those too.
Last but not least, grill parts. I ordered some new grill grates for DHs BBQ grill yesterday. Now I have no reason to worry that the grill grates won't ship in a reasonable amount of time, but it seems as if I am having no luck with shippers right now. Grr!
Thanks for listening to me vent. I needed to get that off my chest.

Seriously, what have I done part 2...
I have been on my own little shopping spree for the last few weeks. I don't know what's gotten into me. But I think I better find a way to control it or we're going to end up living in a box eating Ramen noodles every night.
I have been trying to stay away from buying vintage patterns for some time now. Mostly because I have plenty of other crap I horde. But the bug finally got to me last night. Ready for this, I bought a lot of 120 patterns off of eBay. Auction YAY me! Now, if I could only find a place to store them.
Actually, I do have a plan. I saw a few in the picture that I actually do like. I am going to save those, and then probably try and sell the rest. We'll see when we get here, as I have no idea even what kind of shape these are in.
A week or so ago I posted that I had bought a few patterns from PR. Well, one of those patterns was for baby diapers. Well, I don't have any PUL fabic, so naturally, I had to buy some of that. I ordered 2 yards of white PUL from WAHM supply.com. I have neever heard of them, but they were by far the best price. I also bought two sling rings, because I want to make a baby sling.
As for today, I have to go to Michaels because I have to get beads to finish the Boho bag. I have a zillion beads in my stash, just nothing that matches or that will fit the cording. So off I go, hopefully to end my shoping spree! lol

Butterick 5216 and a few random gripes.

My current project is Butterick 5216. I read a review on PR about how this would make a great maternity top. That reviewer wasn't lying, because so far, it fit's me well, and i'm 6 months pregnant. I really doubt that i'll be making this up again after I have the baby. The one i'm currently working on is a muslin, so i'll spare you the weird pictures. Although, if you are thinking of making this top, you have to wear a cami underneath. I don't care how uninhibited you are, you'll be showing boobs in this one!
Now for a few random gripes:
1) Pattern pieces for elastic! I'm getting really tired of this. The last 5 patterns i've made up has required elastic, and with the exception of the two Burda patterns, they all have pattern pieces for elastic. It's pissing me off! It would be a lot easier just to say in the directions: "Cut a 30 inch piece of elastic". Why can't pattern companies do this!? Instead I have to fish around for a stupid pattern piece that i've misplaced. Nice.
2) The lack of feedback. Seriously, I know I don't have the best of the most informative blog on the planet, but could you please leave feedback? Someone? Anyone? I'm starting to feel a bit lonely here. And leave my spelling errors out of it, Thanks!
Ok, I feel better now! Off to watch I Love Money and then go to bed.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year to you!
With the new year comes the dreaded resolutions. *Sigh* I don't normally make to many, because I know i'll probably break them before the first week of the new year is even over. I think i'm going to do things a bit differently this year though, I think i'm going to set myself a few goals, as opposed to the 'this is how it's going to be...' type deal of a resolution.
Things I plan to work on in 2009:
1) Get my stash counted, and get rid of at least a few things I know i'll never use. I added 177 yards of fabric to my stash last year, and only 84 yards left. Grrr. I'm sure I have over 1000 yards of fabric, and i'm sure a lot of it is crap i'll never use. So it's time to get it under control.
2) Sew more wearable clothing for me. It's really stupid to have all this stash and nothing to wear. Actually, I have plenty to wear, it's just that most of it is in the form of sweat pants and tee-shirts (complete with bleach spots). Hubby hates how I dress, and I have this feeling if I don't do something about it soon, I my get a visit from the What Not to Wear people. How embarassing!
3) Do more charity work. I don't do much now, so I think I should get going on it.
4) Keep a cleaner house. Man, this place is a mess!
That's it. I think they're attainable, don't you? Nothing stupid like "I'm gonna make a million dollars this year!" I'll keep you updated!

Simplicity 3775, birthdays, etc...
Yesterday was my birthday! Happy birthday to me! Hubby got me a popcorn maker which i've been begging for for like, forever.
Then we went and had a big fat steak at the steak house. Yumm!
Simplicity 3775 and the odd sleeve cap...
So, I went to make S3775 for the second time. I originally made view D a few months back. This time I decided to make veiw A, because I wanted a longer sleeve. When I went to cut the fabric for the dress, I see that there are two different sleeves, with two different caps. Hmmm.

Why is that? I ended up just extending the sleeve from view D, and the sleeve fits fine, and there doesn't seem to me a lot of extra ease because of it either. The bodice pieces are the same, so I can't see why the pieces are different. Any ideas?
Oh yeah, here is a pic of the finished dress. I just love the fabric!

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday!
The kid got more crap than she knows what to do with! I thought I was done shopping for her a few weeks ago -- like before Thanksgiving. Anyway, for the last 5 weeks, all she's been talking about was getting an accordian and an easel from Santa. So, guess who was out 3 days before Christmas buying an easel? Yep, me. So, she's happy, and now we can just sit around being over fed, and happy.
Hope yours are a good one!

I'm pregnent!
Well, now that the family has been told, I can finally announce it to the world. I'm pregnent! Wee!
In May, I had a miscarriage when I was 18 weeks pregnent. That was hard to take. But so far this pregnancy seems different already even though i'm only about 6 weeks along. With the last one I had a lot of pain right from the begining, not so with this one. As a matter of fact, I don't feel anything at all. Well, I'm really tired all the time, but other than that, nothing. I'm trying to decide if I want to document the next 8 months or so with pictures. Posting pics of my big belly makes me rather nervous. lol

It's Caturday!! Again...
I just love Caturday!
Hope everyone had a good holiday!
I'm part of a sewing group that meets every other Saturday. I normally get very little done because i'm too busy running my mouth. This week was no different. In 4 hours I managed to cut out three patterns: One pair of pants (with all of 3 pieces), A simple dress (another 3 piecer) and a coat pattern. Oh, and there was a 4th pattern that I kinda looked at. Boy, I am just cruzing right along! lol At this rate, I should have one of those patterns sewn up by Feburary!

In 4 hours I managed to cut out three patterns: One pair of pants (with all of 3 pieces), A simple dress (another 3 piecer) and a coat pattern. Oh, and there was a 4th pattern that I kinda looked at. Boy, I am just cruzing right along! lol At this rate, I should have one of those patterns sewn up by Feburary!

I'm on a roll, apparently!
Clearly, i'm on a roll. For the second time in a week, I have a completed garment! So ok, it's needs a hem, but i'll get that done tomorrow. I've completed New Look 6519, view C, the skirt. I made it in a grey suedecloth. And it's just fabulus with my black knee boots! I want to make the jacket from this pattern too, but it doesn't fit in with my endless combinations, so it will just have to wait until after the first of the year. I'm not entirely sure what i'm going to make next, but I bought my first Vogue pants pattern, and some grey pinstripe suiting to make the pants with. So, that might be my next project.
In the last week, i've made a top with some of my fitting issues solved, and a skirt that looks good. I might as well just roll with it!

IT'S CATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!11111
I just love Caturday! I can't help it.
I should probably add: Don't bother with the commentary. Just look at the pictures. :)
