End Year Traditions (Curves Ahead)
End Year Traditions (Curves Ahead)
End of year traditions for blogging. Normally bloggers end the year with a recap of their blog titles. I’ve not decided what to end the year with, other than a BANG! I’ve been reading a lot of sewing and fashion blogs lately. One of which hits home since I’m not in my forties anymore and definitely not a size zero! I used Pinterest and the words curvy sewing. I was so glad to find the kimono…

Sew What Trend
WHO, WHAT, WEAR is my fall back for fashion trend. I love that site, it inspires me. It drives me to do better. It makes me understand fashion. Sew what is not the actual name. The actual website is called WHO, WHAT, WEAR. I use this website as a sounding board when deciding what clothing I want to make and the articles of clothing I’ll skip! Let’s take a look……………

Sewing Tutorial Review
So it seemed like to me it’s been a while since I’ve done a review.
Tutorials
Tutorials, what a great topic to do reviews. The Internet definitely has a vast assortment of websites for sewing tutorials. But, just because there is a large variety does not mean they are all equally fulfilling your needs when learning to sew. Everyone can go on YouTube search and videos of sewing tutorials. That’s…

The Next Level
I design a lot of my clothing, I’ve been dying to take my designing to the next level with a dress form! Constant trying on, running to the mirror, adjusting, is tedious! Also you never know for sure what the fit is like.
Singer does it for me again! I don’t like the color, but I’m creative, I can recover it to match my studio. I love that it’s so completely adjustable. I found this one at Am…

Pretend
When we were children we pretended everything was always okay. Smiles and all, we were okay and everyone loved us. As adults we realized not everyone is going to love us. As we became different, we realized some people are just going to hate us. Too many days off, too many accommodations, too many this, too many that! It wasn’t fair to them. Well, would they like to trade positions?…

Lucy’s First Year (Sewing Lab)
Below is a post originally released in November 2015. I was so proud of my subscription rate, especially since it was Lucy’s First Year. I never dreamed in a million years I would have more subscribers than my email program would find impressive! They actually think the number is troublesome! RUDE, isn’t it?
I LOVE MY subscribers! You all are so loyal and…

The Serger it's not Really that Scary
The Serger it’s not Really that Scary
The Serger I’ve been reading, and reading, and reading about the this toy/machine. I read so much I decided I can’t live without one. So, I purchased this beautiful piece of machinery. [envira-gallery slug=”juke-serger”] I threaded it, on my own, and actually sewed some old Levi jeans as a test run. Do not try to sew over the seams. I broke my needle and to replace it, which I’m working on…

Subscribers....my greatest Apology!
Subscribers….my greatest Apology!
Where are the Newsletters?
I am really feeling bad about my subscribers. I feel like the newsletter programs out there just do not do the job. I have a suspicion they use our subscribers as their new spam list. If this is happening, please understand I have nothing to do with that.
One program I used, sent out two emails. It was months before my husband told me he wasn’t getting emails. This…

Learning to Sew on PBS
Learning to Sew on PBS
I had no idea how easy it was to learn to sew learning from your television. The longest running show Nancy Zieman is on PBS for learning to sew. I have apple TV. There is a choice for PBS television. It’s Sew Easy Sewing show on PBS. Fit to Stitchis on the channel but, an easier way to watch this show is to use You Tube, which is also tv compatible. The video series with Peggy Sagers is complete…

Anthropologie and Victoria's Secret on the Cheap
Anthropologie and Victoria’s Secret on the Cheap
I sew therefore I refuse to pay for ready to wear! So, I’ve been working on a few Anthropologie and Victoria’s Secret hacks. Anthro has some of the best fashion out there. They must, everyone is trying to hack it. Well, I jumped on the bandwagon too, why? The styles are really pretty straightforward and pretty easy to duplicate on the cheap. Thank you again Anthropologie. :-) This is a…

Happy Anniversary Lucy! Look how far you’ve come from your first, now removed blog post. Content is missing, but overall, I still love the photo.Sewing with knits, published just a day later gained a great deal of popularity. Excitement for me grew as people began to respond to my blogs. Growth in popularity, users and subscribers catapulted me into challenging myself to post increasingly informative blogs. The topics were varied. Capsule Wardrobe drew great interest, close to 200 hits in just a little over six weeks.
I covered fashion, sewing, style, and sewing with two broken arms. That was hard! The more serious I became about sewing, the more you loved the blog. Subscribers increased quickly. Another favorite blog about muslins was a Huge hit. Muslins are so important but such a pain in the butt to do the sewing for one dress two times, ya know? It’s worth it though, I encourage everyone to make muslins before making the garment.
You went MAD about Mad Men fashion and so did I! Mad about Mad Men remained the top post for a long time. You can search to catch the blogs or you can visit the first one here.
Lucy’s Sewing Lab
Lucy’s took on several “looks” before she came up with the perfect fit. But I think I’ve found it. It’s not easy deciding who you want to be, you know?
BEST OF LISTS
I had best of lists. Finding a machine is here
I have a photo journal page, Lucy’s Photo Journal and added my own Pinterest and more! I look forward to the next year, it will bring many new changes I hope you like. There is a link to all archives on the left of my home page. ENJOY!
Happy Anniversary Lucy!

Understanding Color
Color Theory (history of fashion)
Not the most entertaining part of creating apparel, but the most crucial when designing and sewing garments.[envira-gallery id="2923"] [envira-gallery slug="primary-colors"]
Can you believe the first color wheel was invented by associating each color with a note one a musical scale? This was accomplished by Newton.
100 years later psychological studies began on…

Palette aka Fabric Hoard
You know how it goes, with a palette, the seasons begin to change, Pantone releases the colors, and you are itching to make it work. So, I took a little shopping spree.
Every single solid below matches with all the prints. Not to mention, a great deal of these solids are part of the Pantone’s pick for the season. [envira-gallery id="2899"] [envira-gallery slug="palette"]Look at these prints,…

Every single solid below matches with all the prints. Not to mention, a great deal of these solids are part of the Pantone’s pick for the season. Look at these prints, I think the first would be an amazing pair of palazzos. The second prints with the mix of browns, pinks, and mustard is simply unique and perfect for a top to accompany the solids below. All the prints incorporate the same palette of colors and will create a unique Spring/Summer 2016 wardrobe. Stand by and watch me work!
