Sewn Outfit Of The Day
I get two, three day weekends per month from my job. I have other off days also, but the long weekends are my favorite. I refer to these as my "creative weekend". I will definitely sew and cook something wonderful during, "creative weekend". There is usually a trip to Hobby Lobby, Joann Fabrics, Hancock Fabrics and also various thrifting venues. Great creative treasure can be found at a yard sale or flea markets.
My husband and I were out Saturday morning when I spied a roadside yard sale with 2 sewing machines in plain view. My husband heard me gasp and he pulled over immediately. He knows well my sewing madness, as well the fact that I have 4 sewing machines already.
Upon inspection I found one older metal Janome sewing machine that I was going to purchase until I was informed that there was no cord or foot pedal. The price was cheap but I am too lazy to hunt around on the web in hopes of finding the right plug and pedal, plus I certainly didn't know if it worked at all. I had to leave it behind, but still I wonder.
I sewed most of Saturday night and did my first Periscope broadcast. That was kinda fun.
I worked on the red faux suede jacket. A major fit issue occurred, The shoulders look like crap.
I mean huge misshaped, linebacker shoulders. I have to rip and fix this mess, so I finished the lining
and pockets and went to bed. I will start the repair after I finishing this post.
I thought you might like to see something I made previously and enjoy wearing. I made this a few years ago and wrote about on my old blog . Here is the sweater jacket worn today.

Hello, my name is Lisa and I am creative. I like to make things.
I'm glad you stop in for a peep. I'll be sharing my love for sewing, quilting, paper crafts, painting and what ever craft blow through my mind.
Right now I'm sewing a jacket using this Simplicity 2446 pattern and faux suede fabric.
I'm a plus size chick and the customize cup sizes included in this pattern appealed to me. I read great reviews on this pattern, so I will proceed with confidence. Stay tuned
