Tracing Wheels

Miss Dish was showing her new gadget - a dual tracing wheel that she will use for BWOF patterns. It is a great gadget. I wanted to show the Burda 3 in 1 Tracing Wheel that I purchased when I brought my first Burda pattern in the '90s.It has a removable chalk marker that can be filled with powdered chalk. It came with white and blue chalk powder. It is also adjustable in widths of 1/2",5/8,1",and 1and 1/2". Since I have a trial subscription to BWOF, I believe I will be putting this nifty tool to use.

Some Changes

I have decided to change my blog name. The other one was not working for me. I think I can live with this one. I have started a spring crochet project. I put down the Icelandic Turtleneck for spring and summer crocheting projects. This one is called the Fun Lover. It is coming along nicely. I have been planning my sewing projects and gathering the materials so right now there is still no FOs. I just been reading all my favorite blogs getting inspired.

Don't Miss This!

Head on over to Fabric.com. They are having a spring clearance sale. On sale for $2.99 a yard jersey,gauze knit, dotted chiffon, stretch poplin, and more basics. Hurry the sale ends on March 27th. Can't beat these prices. ( I sound like a commercial,LOL).

HAPPY Easter!

National Crochet Month

March is National Crochet Month. So all you crocheters and newbies get to hooking (crochet hooks that is).
Later!

Taking a Step Back

Well M5471 is set to the side. Why? I am going back to the drawing board and rereading Fit For Real People. I want a better understanding on how to figure out my fit challenges. I want good fitting clothes not just items to post about. But I am working on planning a Spring Wardrobe. I have some patterns picked out. I have ordered some fabric that will complement clothes that I already own. And I am planning those things that I will sew. As I stated in my New Years Sewing Resolutions that I want to learn more about the craft of sewing. I am going to do just that.
Today I made a great purchases. I found some balls of Patons Brilliant in Sparkling Rose for a $1.00 ea. at Big Lots, a discount store. Big Lots is a fun place to shop because many times the merchandise changes and there is always something new at a cheap price. So now all I have to do is find a crochet pattern.
Until next time!
