A Tale of Two Shirts (TTMT #847 Sewing Show and Tell)

Leave a reply

I spent a lot of time sewing last week, and it’s really helping with All The Things.

Completely by coincidence, or accident maybe, both of my finished projects this week are white shirts, just very different white shirts! Next week, I promise to have some quilty show & tell!

Well, Shirt (TTMT #846 Quilting & Sewing Show and Tell)

Leave a reply

Life continues to life and we are doing our best to hang in there. Thank you to everyone who left kind words on last week’s video. I genuinely appreciate your thoughtfulness.

This week, I’m poorly lit and my audio is a bit weird as I acclimate to my new filming location. Even so, I’m here to chat about making another men’s shirt, finishing a small wall quilt, and playing with my new Janome MC 6650.

Upside Down & Inside Out (TTMT #845 Life Changes & Sewing Room Reconfiguration)

2 Replies

This was a hard one for me. Trigger warning for discussion of cancer and death. Feel free to skip this one if you need to.

I spent the last couple of weeks tearing my sewing room apart and reconfiguring it. I explain why in the video.

It’s a long one.

Raggedy Rescue: The Good Omens Makeover!

Leave a reply

These were a gift and are not for sale. Video and photos for entertainment only, I don’t do commissions. ♥️

In this video, I share my makeover process from thrift store Raggedy Andy dolls to Aziraphale and Crowley (Good Omens).

Helpful info:

I have a full selection of Raggedy Rescue tutorials available here.
I used this tutorial to help understand how to line a tiny vest pattern (adapated versions of vintage pattern McCalls 3002)
Heavenly Wings Freestanding Lace (machine embroidery) from Urban Threads

Some of the Supplies used:

Lo-Ran Needle Threader
Gingher Embroidery Scissors
DMC Hand Embroidery Needles
DMC Stranded Embroidery Thread in Red (other colors also used)
Dritz Seam Fix Seam Ripper
Havel Ultra Pro Seam Ripper
Taylor Seville Magic Flat Head Pins – easy to grip and melt resistant!
Round Magnetic Bowls in fun colors! – for pins, because I love color!
Sewline Mechanical Fabric Pencil– also good for marking on fabric. Erases or washes out.

**Links to more of my favorite supplies!**

Raggedy Ann & Andy Pattern Tidbits:

I used McCall’s Crafts Pattern 8377 for the base layer of clothing, as well as modifiying Ann’s dress to create a coat pattern.
The Raggedy Ann & Andy clothing pattern shown in this video is a vintage McCall’s 3002.I used it for the vest and shoes, making minor modifications to both to better align with the character.
Both patterns shown in this video are out of print, but there are some modern Ann & Andy patterns out there as well as lots of great out print patterns for Raggedy Ann & Andy patterns available in various sizes. Use what works best for you. Try ebay and etsy for older patterns. If you have sewing friends, it’s worth asking around. My pattern came from my grandmother, and I have a variety of other gems shared by friends.
Both dolls shown in this video were thrifted and repurposed, but you can make yours from scratch using any Raggedy Ann & Andy pattern doll pattern.
