I seriously can’t wait to sit down and make some of these this summer! All of these patterns were freecycled here in Minneapolis, I also have a couple that came from a thrift store. Let me know what you think, which one you like the best, and don’t forget to check out the fabrics I have set aside for these projects All of the fabrics came either from a thrift store or a swap – so total upcycling here on my end!
I think I scored it big on Freecycle today, probably life changing big, but “life-changing” under one condition – if I master the art of sewing. Now, to me sewing isn’t simply following the pattern, it’s an experiment. Even when it comes to trimming/hemming/letting out some pieces. I often want to see how short or long I can go, and what I can do with the leftover material if there is any.
Now, here is what I got today:
A box full of lace trim, and some other sewing supplies, like zippers, ribbons, buttons, and some random earrings (which I thought would be fun to wear) I will definitely do a post on those!
And a box of sewing patterns:
There was a ton of children’s patterns as well, which I don’t need, so if you need some – let me know ASAP!
Now, mastering US measurement system is going to be a challenge for me, someone who grew up in a metric world! But I am sure I can conquer all those inches and a half
Now, I will be sharing my projects with you, I will also be using lace and trim in DIY’s and smaller projects!
I want to ask you for advice though, if you sew, or know someone who sews/designs/fixes/tailors clothes, send them my way, I would love to talk to them and get some advice! (My mom is the first person I am going to turn too, because she sewed a whole bunch of clothes for me when I was younger, but I would love someone else’s advice!)
Thanks for reading and subscribing, I love everyone’s advice and comments! Hope you all had a great weekend! I have something special for you all tomorrow
