Getting braver....

Sew...... had a few bucks in change today and Mom informed me that Butterick patterns were 99 cents at Joann's. Sew of course I had to grab a couple considering the normal price. I have always wanted a 50's house wife dress and though when I saw this pattern... what the heck. I'll try anyway. I am debating what fabric to make it out of. I think Im going to use something cheap the first time around to learn my way around the pattern and tweek it to fit me well. (the smallest size the pattern comes in is an 8 and I need more like a 4-6). Wish me luck!

Sew Day

I propose a Sew Day at Bob and Joann's the second Saturday in October. (10/9) Joann has already said that anytime is good for her, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a Saturday. I just thought it would be easier for those still working or going to school etc. I sent an email a while ago about this coming Saturday and Joann was all up for it but got no response from anyone but Tiff.

Sew what do you think?

David's first sewing project

David made this travel pillow for the car before his last trip home. He sent me a picture last night of two others that he made. He is getting really good at making a nice closure seam. He sent me a picture and asked if I could see where he closed it....hahaha. He is hooked!

I'm a girly girl

I'm working on making a girly shirt out of this man's work shirt.  I don't have anything on the front yet.  I'll post more pictures as I progress.

I'm changing the title

In case you haven't noticed, I changed the title of our blog to "Liz's Legacy".   Way back when, this blog was started by me, Kim, and Candi as a way to have a sister's show and tell.  But since then, the contributors of the blog has grown to include many who are not our sisters.

Liz was a nickname lovingly given to our mom when she started her own business in the Toll Painting world.  She was an exceptional crafter, and we often talk about how those of us who are her descendants inherited her creativity.  We are now renaming our crafting website in her honor and memory.

But we still feel like we are all sisters!
