McCalls patterns are 99 cents again this week at Joanns and I feel like this is the first time that I have taken full advantage of it. I made my list and hit the store without the kids as to not be distracted from the task at hand which of course was finding my 10 (there is a limit to these things) patterns and making it to the checkout on my own time and not the kids meltdown time. It was thrilling! I decided to purchase a fleece jacket pattern in a feminine and masculine styles and then a pattern that included hats, scarves and gloves as well. I was anxious and cut into the hat, scarves and mittens last night. I finished up the scarves and hats leaving the mittens for another time but they were fun to make and came together pretty quickly. I of course had to play and mess around with the pattern a little bit but just because I cannot leave a good thing alone! ;)

I Sewed A Button

button

It has been quiet around here for a bit. There were lots of thoughts swirling in my head but none complete enough to write about. There were lots of projects cut out but nothing that made it to the sewing machine…yet! I have however in the last month sewed a button on a pair of pants for my hubby! Nothing amazing but yet still apart of life! ;)
