Another shot of Wood Memorial Park in Portland, OR

(Make-A-List Monday is an idea that I borrowed from Sarah Craig over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict and I thank her for inspiring me to try it!)

Busy week!

How did I do on my goals?

  1.  Make food gifts.

Done, though I also decided to cut back on the number of things I gifted.  There were so many sweets around that it seemed a little bit excessive to make more as gifts.  (It’s currently three days after Xmas and we’ve still got cake, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and various types of candy in the house, so I think I made the right choice.)

2.  Make two final sewn gifts. 

Done!  Used the leftover fabric from the famous cycling jacket to make a new messenger bag for my partner.

003

As you can see, the cats are quite excited about the project.

005

I used this tutorial and sized the bag up a bit.  Partner wanted no internal pockets, just the one under the flap on the front, and a little bit of hook-and-loop tape as a fastener.  Quick and easy.  Love the lining fabric–that was from the stash.

I’m a little bit tempted to make one for me with all those cool pockets she has in the tutorial (read:  OH LOOK A SHINY OBJECT).

I also made a fabric box to hold a bag of homemade granola to give to my mother.  Forgot to get a picture of that one–hey, I finished it at 9:00 p.m. on Xmas eve, and I was very ready for bed by that point–but here’s a picture of the other homemade gifts I made.  The only one you haven’t seen before is the trash bag on the left, which was for my honey’s new car.  I really need to make one of these for me!

015

3.  Figure out walking feet and darning feet so that Santa can bring them for me.

Done, but not actually until today!  I realized a couple of days before Xmas that I had everybody else’s presents underway except for mine.  😛

I wasn’t at all sure what kind to get for my machine, but Sewing Parts Online offered a reasonably-priced walking foot and darning foot that are guaranteed to fit.  Sold.

4.  After Xmas, make muslin of the Willara tunic.

Done!  Actually, I’ve got the muslin done AND the final version about halfway there.  There were complications–do I even need to say that at this point?–but I really like it so far.

Okay, goals for this week:

  1.  Finish the Willara tunic.  I still need to bind the neckline, hand sew the armholes (it’s a long story), and hem the sleeves.
  2.  Make fabric box #3 for the Finish-Along.
  3.  Make my sewing weights for the Finish-Along.
  4.  Make my windowsill pads for the Finish-Along.
  5.  Do end-of-year blog posts (this will be a bigger job than it should be because I am a very large dork and have managed to mess up the photos on most of my old posts, so I’m going to have to sort that out first).  😦

This is probably too much, but I’ll see what I can do.

Have a great week, everybody!

Thanks go to Natalie at Threads and Bobbins for coming up with Sunday Sevens, a sort-of-weekly series in which we share some pictures of what we’ve been up to.

Here’s what’s been happening here over the last couple of weeks.

It has been COLD and occasionally snowy here–a real winter, as opposed to what we had last year–and the whole family has been enjoying sitting by the fire in the mornings.

(Not shown:  the wrestling match that followed this sweet moment by about 30 seconds.)

001

Last weekend, we were in Portland so that my partner could do the Solstice Ride on Saturday night–13 1/2 hours of cold, rain, and wind on brightly lit and decorated bikes.  I expected him to sleep through most of Sunday after all that hard work, but he got up and went to lunch with me, and then we took a walk through another one of Portland’s amazing parks, Wood Memorial.

009

It looks a bit soggy here, because by that point, there had been 19 straight days of rain in the area.

011

That evening, we went to the ZooLights event at the Oregon Zoo.  Spectacular, but so crowded, cold, and wet!

014

On Monday morning, we headed to Cool Cottons to use my gift certificate from my mother.  SO MANY BEAUTIFUL THINGS–we especially loved all the sciencey fabrics!–but I had my heart set on dark, intensely colored fabric for a dress.  The one on the left is for a shirt for my honey.

008

Another gift–my partner’s sister knitted us socks and cowls.  These are mine; his are a beautiful blue heathery wool.

011

I tried my hand at making a traditional Christmas cake this year (a.k.a., fruitcake).  Verdict:  partner loved it and said it gave him flashbacks to childhood Christmases spent at his grandparents’ house in Scotland.  Personally, it was too much concentrated sugar for me; as dried fruit desserts go, I much preferred the Ecclefechan Tart I made for Thanksgiving.

006

The other new recipe I tried for Xmas dinner was Yorkshire Pudding, a special request from my honey.  They were easy to make and tasty, but I did manage to set off several smoke alarms in the house in the process of making them, and then had to clean the oven the next day.

Hmmm . . . not sure that one will get made again.  :/

We’ve had such a fun couple of weeks here, I’m a bit sorry to say goodbye to the Xmas season.  Time to finish up the last few projects of 2015, though, and look ahead to the new year.

Taken at the ZooLights event at the Oregon Zoo!

A little late this week–we got home from Portland late yesterday afternoon, and making dinner and unpacking used up what little brain power I had to spare.

We had such a fun weekend, though!  I’m planning to get back to Sunday Sevens this weekend, and I’ll put up some cool pictures from our adventures.

So, let’s see how I did this week.

  1. Get family Xmas presents done.

Done!  Got three small presents ready, then took them with me and finished them in the hotel room while my honey and 12 other crazy people rode their bikes all night long in cold, wet, and windy weather.  I wonder about those guys sometimes.

Here are the two presents I made for my sister, a trash bag for her new car and a mug rug.

018

If you still need a small, quick gift, I really recommend the trash bag.  The tutorial is pretty basic, but you can change it up very easily to suit the recipient, as I’ve done here with strips from the batik-style fat quarters I got at Tuesday Morning.  I did a QAYG technique, then did French seams when I made the bag.

2.  Get second batch of Xmas cards out in the mail. 

Done!  I actually did this on Saturday morning before we left for Portland and felt like such an overachiever I could barely stand it.

3.  Do better on self-care.

Sigh.  Still not where I want to be on this, but I will continue to work on it.  Maybe I need to put together a daily checklist?  Hmmm . . . .

4.  Do a post on the jacket while I still remember what I did.

Done!  Post is here.

Okay, goals for this week.  Lots to do!

  1.   Make food gifts.  Headed to grocery store shortly for supplies.
  2.   Make two final sewn gifts.  Headed to Joann’s later for more supplies.
  3.  Figure out walking feet and darning feet so that Santa can bring them for me!
  4.   After Xmas, make muslin of the Willara tunic.  I’m still hoping to get a couple more projects on my FAL list finished by the end of the year.

Have a great week, everybody.  If you celebrate Xmas, have a wonderful one.  If not, hang in there; the frenzy will be over soon.

And here’s a little treat, as it’s the time of year for treats.  My favorite Xmas song, one just for us heathens who still love the silly holiday.

Cycling Jackets and Prison Fashion

So . . . the latest sewing project for my partner, a wool cycling jacket.

If you’ll recall, this little saga began with 3 1/2 yards of charcoal gray wool suiting that I saw for sale at my local creative reuse center (with my volunteer discount, the wool came to the princely sum of $15–there’s no way I needed another project, but seriously, how could I pass that up?)

I presented this to my honey (who has a very great affection for wool clothing, especially for cycling) and asked him what kind of jacket he would like.  What he came up with is known as a Harrington jacket.

Harrington jacket

I’d never heard the name before, but it’s a very common style of zipped, hip-length lightweight jacket, often with elastic at the hem and a red tartan lining.

The closest pattern I could find was this by Kwik Sew.

005

Changes he asked me to make to turn this into something suitable for cycling:

— Add a lining–something slippery to slide over wool cycling jerseys, but also breathable (so no Nasty Nylon).

— The welt pockets needed to have zippers.

— Another zipper pocket needed to be added to the left side of the chest.

— A long elasticized divided pocket needed to be added to the back near the hem.

— The collar on view A needed to be shortened to be more like the Mandarin-style collars you see on cycling jerseys.  Also, the zipper needed to extend to the top of the collar.

— The jacket needed to be shortened, and the sides and back shaped to be 2″ longer than the front.

— Elastic needed to be added to the hem and sleeve hems.

It makes me tired just typing all that out.

(Most unintentionally hilarious moment of these conversations:  partner breezily informing me that the pockets had to have zips “of course” (while I wondered how one would go about doing such a thing), then apologizing profusely for asking me to change the length of the jacket.)

So, in between researching pocket construction and trying to figure out how to add a lining to a jacket, I put together a muslin.  He normally wears a large, but this pattern had a whopping 10 inches of ease, so I decided to risk a medium.  I modified the collar, using his cycling jerseys as a guide, and ordered him some zippers from ZipperStop on Etsy (I’ve actually sewn enough jerseys for him now that he knows exactly what kind of zippers he likes:  the beefy but not bulky #5 nylon coil).  I also got some 7″ #4.5 nylon coil zippers with extra-long pulls for the pockets.

007

This is a linen-rayon fabric that I got from Wal-Mart, of all places, years ago.  Actually a really nice fabric, but I just can’t wear that kind of thing any more–my skin’s too sensitive for linen these days.  😦

I actually had a thought when I was making this that it might turn out to be a wearable muslin, but that was before I got the full effect of it on him:  what with the collar and the gray color, it’s got a pretty strong prison camp vibe to it.  Just no.

004

I also used the muslin for my first attempt at a zippered pocket.  I’m normally too impatient to practice new techniques like this, but these pockets are going to be front and center, so I really wanted them to look professional (I don’t know about other cyclists, but randonneurs spend a LOT of time thinking and talking about bike clothing, and I knew this unusual cycling jacket was going to be noticed and closely examined).

I used this tutorial from Gretchen Hirst to do it, and I gotta tell you guys:  if you like the look of this, you should totally give it a try.  It’s completely doable for anybody with a little sewing experience and a bit of patience.  I wouldn’t even call it hard; it’s just really fiddly and precise, so that’s where the patience comes in.  I tried it a second time with a scrap of the wool and wound up changing her technique a bit to better suit my fabric and zippers, and it worked.

Here’s the way I did it (though you should definitely watch the video to get the basic technique):

  1.  I marked where I wanted the ends of the zipper to be.  My zippers are big and heavy-duty, and I found that this made it difficult to sew the ends in neatly, so I added 1/4″ to the length of the zipper hole, and that was very helpful.  (The safety pin is just there to mark the right side of the fabric, something that helps to keep me from getting confused when I work with a fabric that doesn’t have right and wrong sides.)

004

2.  Using a water-erasable marker, I drew a 7 1/4″ line on a piece of scrap fabric, then drew parallel lines 1/4″ away from it and bar tacks on the ends (a clear plastic quilting ruler is very helpful for this).  I put pins on the bar tacks and lined them up with the pins on the fabric.  Gertie marks the fabric itself, then puts a piece of silk organza over it, but I knew I would never get nice neat lines on this rough fabric, so this is the way I chose to do it.  Also, the scrap fabric I chose is gray–light enough for the marks to show, but not so light that you can easily see the edges once it’s turned.

005

3.  I pinned the scrap fabric down and removed the pins from the bar tacks.

006

4.  Using the pins as a guide, I put a scrap of lightweight interfacing under the area (if it’s fusible, the adhesive should be against the fabric in case it fuses) and pinned all three layers together.  (This is the interfacing here.)

008

5.  On the right side, I sewed over the outside lines and bar tacks, beginning and ending in the middle of one of the long lines.

009

6.  I took a deep breath, checked a couple of times that the pocket was where it was supposed to be, and then cut the middle line, stopping and cutting to the corners 1/4″ from the ends.  You want sharp, pointed scissors for this so that you can cut as close as possible to the stitching–it makes a big difference to how the corners come out in the end.

010

7.  I turned the scrap fabric to the inside and pressed carefully, starting with the sides and pressing the ends last.

011

8.  I pinned, then hand basted the zipper in, making sure it was centered before each stitch (hey, I said it was fiddly, right?)  This really helped me keep it neat.  It didn’t shift around, even when I had to partially unzip the zipper to sew around the pull.

013

9.  And I sewed it in!

014

Gertie sews the pocket bag to the itty bitty cut edges under the zipper, but I wanted the pocket to look more finished inside, so I sewed it to the zipper tape when I made my muslin.

Whew!  Yep, doable, but there’s something really nerve-wracking about cutting holes in your lovely fabric.  It did help that I knew I had almost a yard of the wool left in case something went horribly wrong.

As a result of the muslin, my partner asked for a few more fit adjustments, which I spent way too long agonizing over, then I put together the wool jacket shell.  (And it is really hard to make a garment look good in a photo when there’s no body in it.)

010.JPG

The pattern doesn’t call for it, but I think that collar and front zip are going to need some topstitching.

008

The inevitable photo-bombing.

012

014

The jacket had HUGE facings originally–probably because of the lack of a lining–but I’ve cut them down to get more of the lining in there.

015

And what about that slippery, breathable lining he wanted?  I looked and looked all over the place and this is what I found:

SILK, you guys.  SILK.  WITH MAPS, no less.  He loves it, I love it, the price is right, and it’s not supposed to arrive until January 20th.

SOB.

So everything’s on hold for the moment until the beautiful, beautiful silk map fabric gets here.  Then the lining will go in, the pocket bags can be sewn on, the back pocket can be added, and the hems can be finished.

I’ve got a tutorial that I’m studying in preparation for making the lining, but any advice on that or on sewing with silk (somehow I’ve managed to avoid both those things until now) is most welcome.

cats, Make-A-List Monday, sewing

001

Pooh meditates on list-making (and flannel).

Pretty productive week here!  (For me, that is, not the aforementioned bear.)

Let’s see how I did.

 

  1. Get holiday cards and presents done and in the mail.

Done!  I spent most of Monday and Tuesday making mug rugs for my partner’s sister and a friend of mine.

Man, there is nothing like having to hand sew binding to bring a “quick project” to a screeching halt.

002

003

Those, plus other presents and cards, got sent out on Wednesday.

2.  Get partner’s jacket to the point where it’s ready for lining.

Much to my surprise, this is DONE!  Altering the pattern took way too long on Friday, so the fabric didn’t even get cut until Saturday morning.  Then we went out and bought a car (!!?!) to replace my honey’s elderly Soccer Mom Van, so I didn’t get back to the jacket until the evening.

On Sunday, the Proud New Owner wanted to go for a drive (of course), but I said NO–POCKETS FIRST!

I’m going to do a post on the process when I’m able to get some good pictures, but until then admire this beautiful thing:

014

YEAH BABY.

I totally want to put these into every sewing project from now on.

3.  Adjust the Willara pattern, then cut out the muslin.

This one was my stretch goal, and I got halfway there.  I did trace the pattern, check the fit, and adjust the neckline so that it (hopefully) doesn’t just fall off my shoulders.  I’ve now set this project aside until after Xmas prep is done, as time is getting short for that stuff.

4.  Keep up with self-care. 

I did okay with this, but more would have been better–longer exercise sessions, more time under the lamp, getting to bed earlier.  I’ll keep working on it.

In general, I’m going to give the weekly list thing a thumbs-up, though.  I’ve always made lots of lists of everything, but doing it publicly is a whole different beast.  It really helped to keep me focused on what I’d written down as my priorities for the week.  My energy was pretty low–my usual wintertime state–but I kept moving forward as much as I could, and it worked!

So, the plan for this week:

  1.  Get family Xmas presents done.  My honey and I are headed to Portland for the weekend (and possibly Seattle after that), so I want to get my small handmade gifts to the point where they only need finishing touches done by hand, then bring them with me for finishing while I’m away from home.
  2.  Get second batch of Xmas cards out in the mail.  I keep remembering more folks that I should send cards to!
  3.   Do better on self-care.
  4.   Do a post on the jacket while I still remember what I did.

Have a productive week, folks!

2015 FAL, cats, Make-A-List Monday, sewing

002

Shelby contemplates productivity systems (also snow).

Folks, I have a LOT that I want to get finished this month.

I’ve made some progress on my projects for the Finish-Along–three down!–but there’s plenty more work to be done there.  Some small Xmas presents need to get made.  And I’d like to get my honey’s wool jacket done, or at least as done as I can get it while waiting for the lining fabric to arrive (current ETA:  4-6 weeks from now 😦 ).

So I’m going to try something that Sarah over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict has been doing:  Make-A-List Monday.  Every Monday, she posts a list of what she needs to get done that week, and also reviews last week’s list to see how she did.  And you guys, she gets a HELL of a lot done every week.  I want to get me some of that productivity mojo!

So here’s my list for this week:

  1.  Get holiday cards and presents done and in the mail. I actually have a chance of getting Hannukkah cards to their intended recipients during Hannukkah, rather than a month afterward.  They will be amazed (as will I) if I manage to pull this off.
  2.   Get partner’s jacket to the point where it’s ready for lining.  I need to make some minor adjustments to the pattern based on the muslin I made, but a lot of the problems I had to tackle as part of this project have already been solved.  SPOILER ALERT:  a video on how to make a zippered welt pocket does in fact exist and I DID IT.
  3.   Adjust the Willara pattern, then cut out the muslin.  Pattern is taped, but I need to trace it and check for fit.  I’m hoping this muslin will be wearable.
  4.    Keep up with self-care.  Winter is tough for me, and I need to do everything I can to keep my mood as good as I can get it:  exercise every day, eat healthy, get to bed early, use my light therapy lamp every day, get outside (if it ever stops raining), and finish my anxiety book.

This may be a bit much; I tend to overestimate what I can get done in a certain amount of time.  The Willara muslin is sort of a stretch goal, but I’ll try for it.

Wish me luck!

sunday-sevens-new-logo

I’m back!

I took a little not-really-planned hiatus from the blog for a couple of weeks, but now I’m back.  Plenty has been happening, but I haven’t really had the energy to write about it.  I’ll try to hit the highlights for ya–lots of pics ahead!

  1.  First, and most important, my mother’s carpet has been replaced!

009

Just to recap:  my mother’s quite elderly cat died recently, so it was time to replace the carpet in most of my mother’s house and, hopefully, get rid of the smell the cat had left behind.  This involved packing up 20 years of my mother’s junk (I’ll just say that she does not throw things away, and let you imagine what that means over 20 years), completely emptying the worst room so the subfloor could be replaced, emptying the rest of the rooms, replacing the carpet over two days, then putting everything back.

2.  The day we moved all the furniture back in happened to be Small Business Saturday, so I got myself a little reward for all my hard work:  fabric remnants on sale at SCRAP Tri-Cities.

015

You have never seen anyone get so excited about fabric scraps in your life.

I am such a dork.

3.  Thanksgiving happened in the middle of all this contractors-and-cat-pee madness.  My honey and I went to the local buffet, as usual, and ate too much, then took a walk along the river.  Cold, but sunny, day.

012

A good effort, considering how little raw material there was to work with.

013

4.  Winter arrived suddenly, with cold, cold temps and a little snow, so I’m getting back into cold-weather cooking.  This meal was so good, I made it twice in one week:  roasted potatoes on left, chicken sausage and roasted veg on the right.

008

5.  I finished the Cozy Afternoon runner, and in time to enter it in the contest!  The process of finishing it felt like such a hard, slow slog, but getting it done gave me such a boost.

ETA:  this is finish #3 for the 2015 Finish-Along.

017

018

019

The Quilt As You Go method that I used on this was such a big help; I will definitely use that again.  There are different ways to do it, but the method I chose (one of four from the book “Divide and Conquer”) basically involves leaving an unquilted border around your sections, then sewing together just the edges of the top.  Press open, then butt the batting edges and hand sew.  Finish by folding under the raw edge of the backing and blind-stitching it down; then you can finish up your quilting.

I’m really enjoying having this on my table.

029

6.  I put the Christmas tree up over Thanksgiving weekend and the cats are having such fun with it.  Every morning I put all the ornaments back on the bottom third of the tree and every night they pull them off and bat them around.

031

7.  I had a moment of geekery on Friday and had to whip this up.

004

I had a bit of garam masala and a bit of pumpkin pie spice, so I used a combination and I really liked it, but my honey found it reminded him a little too much of curry.  If you make it, try a different glaze recipe, as the proportions are off and the glaze doesn’t work as written; also, this thing is HUGE, so consider making a half recipe if you don’t have an army to feed.

Oh, I have more pictures, but that’s enough for one week!  I’m working away at my honey’s wool cycling jacket, so I’ll have an update on that soon, and I also plan to get started on my Willara tunic this week.

Have a great week, everybody, and happy Hannukah to those who celebrate it!

ETA:  I have linked the table runner up to Scraptastic Tuesday over at She Can Quilt.  Thank you to Nicky for reminding me to link to it here!
