INDELIBLE BLOG HOP !

 New Look 6268 My favorite sewing pattern this summer very very easy and fits on anyone! Even if you are several lbs overweight! 

SIMPLICITY 2147 I made a size 16 and took a lot in on the sides as a gradation. I also hemmed the length quiet a bit.

KWICK SEW K3749 one of my favorite bag patterns to take to work. Look how pretty in this stunning fabric!

 When Katarina Roccella asked me to be part of her blog hop I was very excited. Her new collection is called INDELIBLE for ART GALLERY FABRICS

Katarina has a gorgeous website and blog here:
The most exciting thing that happend was I asked my friend Jody Miller who is a professional photographer to see if she would be interested in shooting these for me. I nearly fell over when she said yes. If you want to see a treat, grab some coffee and see her photography on her Flickr. Breath taking stuff. Thank you so much Jody for these photos your are a true artist.
      This summer I spent my focus on sewing garments I got very excited to do them. I am much more of a craft and quilt sewer. But somehow I got super motivated and jazzed to sew garments. I started this Journey sewing them for myself however, I am not the best model. I still really want to make the garments for myself and learn to fit for me. But I will belt and pin for models so you can see the lovely Clothes. I fell absolutely in love with Art Gallery Voiles and if you haven't sewn with them you must! And they are the most comfortable fabrics in the world.
Thank you to my friend Katarina who designed these gorgeous fabrics, Haejung for being a stunning model and Jody Miller who's art never ceases to amaze me.
Love, Frances
