Sewing plans

March 23, 2014 Jennie Comments Off

I have finally pulled some patterns from my stash that really NEED to be made. Some I’ve had for over a year! I went on some crazy pattern buying sprees last year, some in paper format but many many more in downloadable form, which is kinda worse as I don’t even have them sitting there starting at me, reminding me! I will do a post about my downloaded patterns soon too.

I really want to make this jacket. I’ve actually been waiting to find the perfect fabric (and haven’t yet). Thinking cord, maybe moss green…

I am also looking for fabric for this. I feel this may be made over and over, having two tall teenage sons who both love shirts!

And I still want to make this. I don’t think it will look great on me, with my boobs and stuff, but I love the style

And finally I have been ordered to make many pairs of shorts for the 6 year old. He has shot up so much that all of last year’s shorts now look like hot pants on him, not a good look!

Happy sewing!

Hello

Jennie Caminada

I set up cheekyhandmades after I left my job 2010. I really wanted to use all my creative skills, skills I’d had for many years but never had time to use any more, and skills I realised I could and wanted to pass on.

I also wanted to work for myself, I wanted to be able to work around my children. And I am doing all of that now, and am loving it. I get to be surrounded by like minded people, great fabrics, my kids and cats, and listen to music all day. I get to decide what I do every day and how I do it.

I get to teach people how to make things and how joyful craft is. Every day my job gets better, every day I meet and talk to enthusiastic people and I help them achieve their creative potential.
