Here’s what you’ve all been not exactly anticipating for! For this cutie, I had to learn how to do the blanket stitch, which I found the tutorial for here.Tomorrow I’ll post the pattern for this little kitty!

A great new sewing book!

So about a month ago, a new sewing book called The Colette Sewing Handbook came out. I got it on pre-order and waited for it to come nearly every day! When it finally came, it was great! Well I wouldn’t know since I haven’t read it all yet, but it comes with five patterns and some great tips and tricks for the modern sewer. The book has some great pictures and has a very “new” look to it. I’ve already made the Meringue skirt which turned out looking pretty good. You should definitely buy this book. Trust me, even though I haven’t finished it, I can tell that any beginner/intermediate in sewing will love this book!

You’re getting warmer…

There’s so much to say about Pantone! Well first, they’re the company that chooses the top trending colors every year! This year it’s Honeysuckle and a few days ago, the color of the year for 2012 was announced… (drum roll) Tangerine Tango! Enjoy it because it’ll be here for all of next year.

Inspiration

So I’m working on a pair of skinny jeans, but that doesn’t mean I can’t collect a few pieces of inspiration here and there! Here are a couple pictures I took yesterday while walking in town:

My Mood Board! (again)

Hi guys! So if you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I have a mood board that I organize every now and again. I recently got a bigger one and here are the results!

Crafting/DIYing

So today I made a little something to decorate my walls. It’s this great idea I got that you can see from my last post and all you need  is a needlepoint/embroidery frame and a piece of fabric from scraps! And today, I added the straps to my doily stenciled canvas bag!
