Reindeer Robe

Simplicity 3696. I have to say, I didn't have much hope for this robe when I decided to make it. Historically, I don't have much luck with robes. I'm a curvy woman and it seems to me that robes are built for men. They're boxy and cut very much like a series of rectangles. I was also afraid that I wouldn't like the horizontal pattern in my fabric. You know how they say we should never wear horizontal stripes...

Curtains

I've finally finished the first project of my 52 sewing projects challenge! I was so gung-ho to get started that it was hard to hold myself back at the end of 2015. And, still, it took me two weeks to complete my first project - Unlined, rod-pocket curtains for my daughter's bedroom window...A beginner's project, really.

Some New Fabrics

Okay, so 2016 hasn't started off the way I planned... I went to the fabric store and found out that I missed their boxing week sale! The flyer said it would be on until January 4th, but it wasn't. What's a girl to do when she misses the sale? Shop the dollar racks of course!
