Welcome

This is my creative blog, things that are happening in my sewing room and other great creative projects, including cooking and the gardens! I do a little bit of everything, so the subjects will vary. Step out of your box, do something creative!

Halloween fabric, round one

So I have this huge pile of Halloween knit that I collected.  This first year I made several costume parts out of it, and the store ran out before I was finished with what I wanted to do.   The next year, I bought all that I could afford, but my inspiration died and I've been storing this ever since..... there are yards and yards of a couple of the prints


 The first thing I did was sort my "junk satin" into pieces that were not full width.  I will use them, and the smaller pieces of knit, to make little skirts for the younger set.  Ruby just loves hers.  I thing cutting the hem into points or putting tulle under neath would be so cute, but I want them to be comfortable and wearable....

 For the adults, I've cut out satin-y pants with this draping skirt over lay.  It'll be great for Halloween or Fairy dress, or for that matter, just for fun.  I can't wait to get started on these.  I've got a few pair cut to see how they go together.  I want to put them on elastic to make them fit more easily
Of course, I have to work around Ozzie guarding my patterns.  She seems to have given this one the "sleep approval". 
MY AUNT TOLD ME TO USE IT UP, MAKE DO, OR DO WITHOUT, AND THAT IS JUST WHAT I INTENDED TO DO, IN THE MOST CREATIVE WAY I CAN MANAGE.  I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW THESE LOOK WHEN THEY ARE DONE.  THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.  UNLEASH THAT CREATIVE SPIRIT.  DO IT NOW!
