Our golf cart seat has needed to be re-upholstered for a while, so my husband helped me tackle it on a recent rainy day.
I think it turned out quite nice!

It's always nice to get some sewing time in after being away for a while. These are my two current sewing projects: Burnside Bibs and the Rosebud Quilted Coat.

I remembered to step back and take a photo during my Tremont class. Here are some students working on their projects.

I finished the McCall’s 8636 pants, and here's a closeup of the buttonhole. These were such a fun make: lots of details to elevate the design but still easy to sew.

I'm seeing stars! Baby stars that is.
The Rainbow Dreams fabric by Jenny Faw for Wilmington Print looks great for this baby quilt.

After picking up this triple gauze fabric, I settled on making the Tremont Jacket from Sewing Workshop. Isn't this licorice plaid just perfect?

The serger was a good patient and was returned to its owner last weekend. I was able to get it up and running (for the most part) but have referred it to a specialist.

I have a soft spot for these vintage model sergers. This is one that I'm helping repair for a friend.

Isn't this Geranium Dress by Made by Rae just adorable? I used a lovely flannel from Riley Blake Designs to make it.
