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!

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! ;-)
