It's been a busy six months -- and that was before I launched MPB! Below is a slideshow of most of the projects I've sewn since I bought my first sewing machine last June.
Would you believe my original intention was merely to shorten some thrift store jeans I was too cheap to bring to the tailor? HA HA HA HA HA!
And speaking of pattern boldness, how about this lamp I found on the street recently? Now THAT'S a palette I can live with.

Love the blog and yeah, sort of hate that we started sewing at the same time and that you're lightyears ahead of me. ;)
ReplyDeleteA man sewist who makes jeans AND clothes out of sheets (both without looking homeless), all with less than a year of sewing experience = my new hero.
ReplyDeleteGreat slideshow, too--you are a more than worthy nemesis for Selfish Seamstress (yep, came from that direction!)
Peter, I hate to say this but I think I love you and hate you all at the same time, I must say it is this odd feeling of wanting to hug you and scratch your eyes out like in an old "girls fight" anyway, i guess your clothes are okay...lol!!! I am a fan of "the selfish seamstress" so I kind of have to hate you but dont tell her that secretly I love you and you prize winning floral shirt ;)
ReplyDeleteI stopped by after reading a post about you via the selfish seamstress...you are so hillarious and I envy the progress of your sewing skills. keep it funny and sarcastic
ReplyDeletei'm another referral from the SS but i have seen your work on spr and am always in awe. esp for your prize winning shirt!!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Ms. Selfish for telling us all about your new blog! I love your photo essays with Cathy. Keep making the great projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the problem going on between you and the selfish seamstress?? I don't understand
ReplyDeleteOk now fess up...
ReplyDeleteWhere are you buying the stuff from and passing it off as your own?
Those are on pair of "bold" flowered pants! Nice Job. ;-) ~m
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mimi. I actually wore those to the opera and I got a lot of strange stares but no one assaulted me or anything.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to find your blog via the Selfish Seamstress (and boy watch your back :-)) What's funny is that we had some of the sheets that you're shirts are made from. A trip back to the 70s!
ReplyDeleteYour cousin is a lucky girl to have you making clothes for her. And what a set of gams! ;-)
