Robin's egg blue, cropped Vogue 8774

I love spring.  Unfortunately, today it is 43 and trying to snow, but I feel so summery in my new cropped jeans. (inside, with fireplace going)  This is a stretch denim from Fabric.com.  Very stretchy, so they will probably be really loose by end of day, but oh so comfy! 

                        




Check out the waist and pocket lining! I have sewing machines in my pants!


The shirt, is my gingham Jalie 3130 from June 2012.
 

                       

And aren't these shoes so cute?  Love Payless!

 
Stay Happy
Keep Sewing
and if you can't sew
Snuggling is really fun too!

    1. Take your time and go slow. I find that I don't watch where the needle enters the fabric, but instead I watch where the edge of the presser foot is on the fabric, and then just try to maintain the same position as I sew. That and practice.

  4. Love the pants. The color is great. I have not gotten the courage to wear colored pants. You are encouraging me to take the plunge.
