A green lap desk with a book light clipped to the top edge scattered with tiny fabric squares sewn into 4 patches, various tools and a box full of more squares ready to be seen up.
And if you thought I was done crafting for the night ... #sewsky #quiltsky
A boxy t-shirt with very short sleeves cut in the same part as the body of the shirt with a v neck and folded collar. The fabric is a very textured burgundy bubble gauze. There is hand top stitching in navy on the edge of the neckline and sleeve cuffs.
Today I sewed up a top in this burgundy bubble gauze. The fabric is thicc and can't be ironed (which was nice since my office was 82f today). I did a lot of hand finishing on this one but it was still super quick. Sew House Seven Revel Top. #sewsky
A matching handmade lingerie set featuring vibrant floral embroidery, sheer pink mesh, and a pop of neon orange striped tulle on a white background. The embroidered lace has neon orange and pink cherries and flowers intertwined with neon green leaves.
A closeup of the back of the Fluorescent Floral bra on a white background. The photo shows the internals of the bra which is trimmed with pink lingerie elastics. The foam cups are lined with a peach-coloured silk satin.
Another year, another unapologetically neon floral, fruity lingerie set! 🍒🌸🌼
A fit refresh using the Black Beauty Bra - with flexi wires for a comfy, more relaxed feel. I also lined the cups with silk satin … and I’m never going back 😂✨

A woman is standing in front of a white picket fence modeling a dress she sewed herself. The dress is a short A-Line, but fitted in the bust, with an elastic neckline and puffed short sleeves. The dress is made from black cotton sateen fabric patterned with pink, blue, and yellow astronauts, UFOs, planets, and other space-like figures. The dress is styled with white sunglasses, white ankle boots, white earrings, and a matching neck scarf made from the same fabric as the dress.

Long time no post, so here's a campy new make 💁🏼♀️
This is the Dover Dress by Stitch Witch, in cotton sateen. This was a very quick and easy sew, and includes cute details like a laced back feature that snatches the waist, and an elastic neckline and sleeves. I'm feelin it! #sewingsky #memade #sewsky
ARTEMIS NASA Artemis • and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center This was where my journey began... at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center! The Thermal Blanket Lab is where technicians make clothes - but for spacecraft. Technician Paula Cain not only put me together, but she made me a cool 'fit as well. -Rise
Did you see this video? Not only does it show how NASA made Rise, the moon plushie on Artemis 2, but they use JUKI machines to make space blankets!!

I don't remember if I ever shared these here, but these are the quilts I made for my niece and nephew! I am so proud of the fact that I was able to make baby quilts 🥺 I still have to make one more for my newest nephew ❤️

Well, it’s finished. I dreaded the thought of buttonholes in this fabric so the front band is sewn overlapping. I imagine with a lot of static guard spray and a robust slip (petticoat?), it might get some wear. At the very least, it was good practice. #sewsky #garmentsewing
Tomorrow can #SewSky remind me to re-set my kitchen to cutting-out mode?
(I have to unfold my kitchen table).
Low Sunday... day off for church choirs.
I'm wearing a Elizabeth Suzann Georgia tee and peppermint samford trousers in a brown tencel fabric
Made a couple of things and wrote them up #garmentsewing #sewsky

A photo of white fabric with a sewing needle through it, as well as pins holding the seam in place.
The inside of a sleeve on a table with a large green cutting mat on it.
A close-up of whipstitches used to sew the seam.
Used some linen thread for the first time to sew an inside seam and was pleasantly surprised! A delight.
Idk, I just wasn't expecting a lot, but. Well. Linen thread fucks hard, actually. #sewing #sewsky
White and purple sewing machine on a table. Two lamps are pointed at the machine. There are two framed photos on the wall.
My sewing machine looks like it's about to give a press conference. (It's in a dark corner and so I have ALL the lights pointed at it.)

A dress is hanging on the back of a white door. The polyester fabric is a geometric design of cream and black squares. Pattern is ZW Gathered Dress.
I love the print but I hate the fabric. I need to redo the waist as it’s only basted but otherwise it’s just about finished. Oh and pick out acouple of buttons. #garmentsewing #sewsky
A short sleeved camp shirt in a dark grey with little blue white and yellow stars. Pattern is the WBM Tropical shirt.
The front bodice, yokes & back sewn at the shoulder, hanging on a pink hanger. Pattern is Helen’s closet Gilbert Top. Fabric is a heavy linen. The background is a deep teal with white birds and yellow & olive green flowers.
The top of a dress, back, front, front band & sleeves sewn together. Pattern is the ZW Gathered dress. Fabric is a polyester in a geometric design of cream and black squares. It’s reminding me why I hate sewing with slippery fabric.
Buttons finally attached! One shirt finished, two more projects still in progress. #sewsky #garmentsewing
A red fabric with white polka dots. The fabric is torn, partially covering a small black button. To the left is a small patch of darning in a slightly brighter red.
The same fabric, now darned with a red thread that matches the fabric better. The button is now sewn back on top of the darning.
Catching up on my mending this weekend. I recently reattached the buttons onto these pants and used achor buttons on the inside, but the lining was slightly misaligned and tore along a spot I'd previously darned. So I needed to take off the button, darn the new tear and reattach the button. #sewsky
Smiling person with blue bangs, shaved head, and black and white glasses in a shirt with crabby seagulls on it.
Crabby Seagull #CameronButtonUp FINISHED! I am so pleased with how it turned out, especially the inadvertent almost-pattern matched seagull under the first button. So excited to wear this one out into the world. (more)

Illustration of an orange anglerfish in turqoise water.
The same anglerfish as in the previous image, but this time tiny in a huge turquoise sea.
I have made my own fabric pattern! If I've done it right (fingers crossed) the anglerfish will fill the bottom right half of my button-up shirt, and the rest will be turquoise ocean. Sent off the image to Art Fabrics today to be printed...

Me in the the gray deadstock memade skirt but unable to pose nice and poised for a somewhat decent picture because of the tortitude cat rolling allover my unfinished fabrics and patterns laying on the floor.
Heads always cut off! 🤦🏻♀️🤣 More #sewing & #jewelry details in Alts. Open pics up also to see the cat rolling at the bottom of the frame.
You can also see how this skirt & many more were made #sewsky: kristinbattestella.blogspot.com/2023/05/5-sk...
a me made deadstock gray skirt from butterick 6196 that looked too Amish with a long shirt and too witchy with a chunky belt so a lowcut black blouse made it look more modern. I'm wearing some smoky me made earrings and a bracelet some of the earliest jewelry I made out of broken Charming Charlie pieces I strung together. None of the pictures taken in this series came out completely right because the cat was rolling around grabbing my long hem.
a $7 skater dress with an orange and black polka dot top and a swishy black bottom. This cut of dress isn't usually my style but I loved the collars. I think the collar and cuffs that seem a little batty shaped need an iron pressing though. Went to Goodwill after the doctor yesterday but off course the IIH kicked in today, no fun. The tortitude cat though is there for amusement.
This tortitude cat is ready for her close up Mr. DeMille. She's 14 pounds but not my biggest cat! Her boyfriend with the extra toes is 17 pounds. But the thrift dress and my me made bling look cute, too, but not as cute as her highness of course.
Tried styling this memade skirt 3 different ways #sewsky - too Amish, too witchy & finally the lowcut to offset looking so period piece! 🤣 Some of my earliest #jewelrymaking bling also & of course the pesky tortitude cat! I scored this adorable black & orange polka dot dress at Goodwill for $7! 🎃🖤
Still looking for employment with a reliable paycheck but in the mean time I'm crafting it up.

Photo of the corner of a quilt that is navy with a white pattern of stars, moons, hearts and planets. There is a rectangle of a different navy material seen down with some blue and red thread.
Photo of a corner of a navy quit with a quarter-sized hole torn in it.
I had to spend the day resting in bed (and resting my wrists from crochet for a day!) so it was the perfect time to quickly patch a beloved quilt. I used a scrap from an old pair of my partner’s work pants and some Sashiko thread ✨🪡🧵 #visiblemending #reducetextilewaste #sewsky #spoonie

Over the ironing board a burgundy dress by Laura Ashley lays cut in separate the skirt from the bodice, here in the close up pic the under arm seam is cut open both on the bodice and sleeve to add more fabric to it
🫣🫣 scared and excited at the same time, scited 🤣🤣🤣. Tomorrow I'll cut out the extra length from the skirt and start adding to the bodice :3

I don't want this to be a planned piece, so I am just doing and when I find myself beginning to analyze it I am putting it down. Its a test to see what a random piece looks like. Its not that easy for me to do.

Pockets! Right, so, I’ve made two (so far!) Artist Apron Dresses from @charmpatterns.bsky.social . I went with both the apron pockets and the side seam pockets, as well as the bib pocket, giving me 7 total in each dress! Can’t wait to make more!
