Last I started sewing my second backpack. This week I finished making said rucksack. Specifically, I finished sewing on the straps, put in a lining and then waxed the outer shell.
This new backpack is definitely an improvement on what what I made with attempt #1.

I sewed my first backpack prototype last week. It was a great starting point and gave me plenty of improvements to make for my next iteration this week.
I didn’t get the second rucksack done this week, but I think it’s okay because I feel like I’ve drastically improved this one so far.

I could just buy a backpack and problem solved, but then that would be too easy! So instead, I’m making one myself and this is my first attempt.
I started this week by using an old cotton Ikea drape, drafting a basic pattern and sewing it together. It’s not pretty, it’s not beautiful, but it has started me off on the project.

It’s been 3 weeks, it took too long, but I finally finished sewing my dark grey / black houndstooth slacks!
At the end, I did a little review / autopsy of my work.

I started cutting the pattern for my pants last week when I had to cut the video short to get some work done.
This week I started sewing my pants / slacks. Fun Time Corn also shared a bit about our skiing adventure this past weekend.

I wanted to make a full sewing video this week, but it got too busy with “other” things so I had to cut things a bit shorter.

Maria is a pale woman and she struggles with self-confidence. Mennonite Corn invited her onto his picture box program and had another Maria make pale Maria a beautiful dress.
The makeover transform was marvellous.

Last week I started sewing these pants. The biggest challenge was trying to pattern match the fabric and spoiler alert: it didn’t go well.
This week I finished said pants and they actually turned out quite nicely. Watch & you’ll see what I mean.

I started sewing a pair of grey plaid pants and I’m attempting to pattern match the fabric. It has been proving much more challenging than I could have imagined. I am having some success though.

Poppa Plant’s collection is really starting to overtake my apartment. For example, he’s resorted to covering my sewing machine with his plants and this is a real pain when I use it on a weekly basis. I asked him to do something about and he tried to pawn off the responsibility to Handyman Corn!
I decided to tackle the problem myself and made a desk, by hand.
