Past Projects - Bleu Ruffle

This was one of my harder projects at the time, fitting cap sleeves & trying to sew on these beautiful ruffles!  I again used bias tape for the neck and armholes as well....I love bias tape!

Sew you later.

Fashion Friday

One of my fave silk skirts, I made this of my own design and added black bias tape to the hem.
This skirt gets a lot of wear and I do hand wash.


Sew you later!

A year later......

It has been 1 year since I made a lifestyle

change to better my health, rather than surgery.

I was lucky, I still had the choice.

So under my doctors care:

I joined a gym.

Working out 6 days a week the first 3 months

 cardio & classes only.

I did get a Personal Trainer into my 3rd month

of training once I started lifting weights.

I now work out 4 to 5 days a week.

I changed my meals as I did not eat red meat the 

first couple of months.  I ate chicken, cod, salmon, eggs, 

multigrain bread & salads.  

Water.....10 glasses a day.

I did still drink green wine with my dinner

lets not get too crazy here!

After I starting lifting weights I went back to eating

meats but mostly steak.

I am back to being fit....more so I feel now.  

I feel like I have more energy,  my skin feels rejuvenated

and I am stronger than when I was in my 20's!

Skirt made by me.

Happy Canada Day!

Hello sewing friends!

Happy Canada Day!

It is also my blog anniversary too, 5 years!

  It's been awhile since I 

posted but I finally made something to blog about.

A little DIY from the "husbands" tee

So very easy, just cut off the sleeves, cut to make the ties,

A little serging to take in sides, clean up & done!

Skirt is made from a jersey blend, designed to fit me,

2 pattern pieces...front & back, sew in a  waist band 

& that's about it.

I am on instagram daily @deniseangela & if you have an account 

I would love to follow your sewing blogs there as well too.

Sew you later!

Painter's Dress

A dress iMade from this fabulous jersey fabric 

that looks like splattered paint.

I used New Look 6149 for the bodice & I added

a black ruffle along the neckline for a little prettiness.

I like this raglan sleeve top pattern 

that was very easy to sew.

 The skirt is my own design with the

hem cut at an angle that after all these years

I still love.

Sew you later!
