Skinny Jeans

8 weeks into my Body Recomposition & I fit back

into my skinny jeans! Yeah me!

Black tee is made by me using

a simple McCall's pattern

a few years ago.

Just finishing up my New Years Eve dress......so I am way ahead for this year!

I also added my instagram @deniseangela

on my side bar if you care to follow

my some times daily photo's.

Sew you later!

Bleu Sewing Room...Flashback Friday

I have pretty much sewed in every room of my house 

these past 5 years.....really 5 years of sewing & I

still have not made a pair of jeans?!

The fake neat photo for my blog.

Anyways, this is my  first sewing room.  A bedroom vacated

by my oldest daughter when she moved into our basement.

This is what it pretty much looked liked when

I was learning to sew....a disaster.

Mini-me back then was excited by my new hobby

& made me this for the wall of "our"

new sewing room.

A yet unblogged white ruffle camisole that I made 

back then.

My first drape dress that I made that my middle daughter

"The Model" wore.  Notice the fabric?

Many dresses were made by the 10 meters

I bought.....newbie fabric purchase.

Mini-me always there from the beginning,

just after we set up the Singer sewing machine

in the little blue sewing room.

Sew you later!

Ballet dress

A dress iMade for my ballet classes using one of

my ballet tops for the pattern of the 

bodice out of ponte de roma knit.

I used swimsuit material for 

the skirt....a design of my own

to which I sewed together at the waist.

New Year & new ballet slippers.

Sew you later!

New Year, new trainers, new tank top

I have been a gym junkie a little

over a month now working out

6 days a week. 

I never thought I would.....I hated the gym,

preferring ballet, swimming & sports 

to keep me in shape, but a Fibroid has afflicted me 

this past year.  Making me look about 5 months

pregnant with all the gory issues that most women

my age get.  My doc said I could just wait it

out (yeah I love not fitting any of my clothes) 

have surgery or try to get rid of it naturally.

Naturally has worked the last 6 weeks!

I have dropped 10 pounds & now

fit into my previous fat day clothes.

I cut all the junk food from my diet,

kept the good carbs, more protein,

& no red meat.  I get at least 7 hours

sleep a night & I know that is because 

of my 2 hour workouts at the gym.

Instead of a new wardrobe, I need new gym clothes & they are expensive.

I have Lululemon bottoms from my ballet workouts

so I just needed more tanks & tops.

This is the first one I made from swimsuit material 

using McCall's pattern 6751.  Very easy to sew & holds up

to a vigorous workout on the elliptical so I 

will be making more!

Sew you later!
