Busy day sewing...and setting up the other blog...



Every evening for the last fortnight I have come home and wished I had comfy, warm, pants to wear for relaxing.  Come to think of that, I think I said that last year as well.

So I decided to get on with it and  managed to make two pairs of comfy house/lounging pants today.   They are really wearable muslins because I wanted to test a new pattern.  I made them both out of polar fleece. 

I used a leggings pattern as I thought a larger size would just turn out to be slim fitting trousers on me.  I was right.  This was the pattern I used:

McCalls 6173
The pants look better on than the photo above suggests, but as it is getting late here and I haven't had dinner, I'll take a photo with me in them tomorrow.

For those of you in the 2013 Style The Stash Sew A Long the blog is up and running.  This is the link:

I'll post more tomorrow,

Do have a good day or evening wherever you are<

      Oh yes, BeaJay, you must - they are so simple to make and it doesn't matter too much what they look like :)

    Those trousers must be so comforting after a long day! Great idea to make a lounge capsule collection.

      They are Elise, and yes, we all need "relaxing capsules"

Just a Blog Post

Hello Sewing Blog readers, Life caught up with me in quite a way over the last few years and had no time for blogging. In the meantime, the world has changed enormously, both in everyday reality and in the virtual reality of social media.  Many sewers now post on Instagram. I enjoy Instagram, very much in moderation.  Too much, and I soon overload and switch it off for a while. Perhaps because of more "instant" types of social media, sewing bloggers seem to have discontinued blogging and swapped platforms. In the meantime, I am left wondering if anyone reads sewing blogs any longer. If you do, perhaps you could leave me a comment and tell me what you like in a sewing blog or what sort of posts in a sewing, style and fashion blog (and perhaps allied crafts)  you want to read. That's it for now, over to you for your comments, Take care Sarah Liz

2018 Make a Garment A Month Guidelines

Hello everyone, This is a slightly different post from my usual posts about garments I have made.  I will resume those next year...And I hope to get back to commenting and posting regularly.  2017 was a bit topsy turvy and challenging so I really found it hard to blog. This post is  a long and wordy post, quite unlike my usual picture and quick notational style that I use for my sewing posts. But sometimes lots of words are necessary... Anyway, without further ado, To Business Some of you know that I facilitate the Make a Garment a Month Challenge on both Facebook (closed group) and Instagram. And some of you don't.  Some of you are visiting this post because you found out about this challenge on Instagram and want to see what we are doing this year. And some of you may be regular readers of this blog but not know that I run this challenge.  And some of you will want to join in. Make a Garment a Month has been running for some years now.  It started with me mentio
