Golden Rippy-Delilah Top

Today I am happy to be apart of the Golden Rippy's Delilah blog tour!

SisBoom Tobago

Remember my blog post from last Monday-the SisBoom Tortola?

Today, SisBoom releases the girls' version-TOBAGO!

Basically, same deal as the women's.  

Only four pattern pieces: front, back, front facing, and back facing.

Literally takes 30 minutes to cut and sew.

Dorian is a gender neutral forerunner.

Dorian can be made with any fabric:

Classic with leather, hip with canvas, laminate for mommas, or fun with printed cotton.

Courier bags are always in style.

I'm ecstatic to introduce the newest Sisboom pattern: Tortola!

Stella Sewalong Day 7: Interior Construction and Finishing

LAST DAY! Hooray! Easiest day.

We are basically repeating everything from yesterday but with the lining.

* If you want to do an interior zipper pocket, then do that now.
Follow the same instructions as in this YouTube video
but make your rectangle 8" x 1/2" and 2.5" from the top of the interior main panel*

Stella Sewalong Day 6: Main zipper and Exterior construction

All the hard parts are done.  We are so close to the end, I can smell the coffee.

Ran out of peppermint patty creamer, by the way.

Take the two top panels and lay them right sides together, matching the correct sides.

One long edge is straight and the other curves out at the ends.

We are working with the straight edge.

Measure 1" from each end on the straight side.

(Measure 2" from each end if you are using a 22" zipper)

Sewing!  It's my love child. Seriously.  Zeus and I had a night together and sewing was the byproduct.

Why do I love it?  Because it is fun.  And challenging.  Do I sew perfectly every time?  NEVER! But I do try and I hope to be perfect one day.

I learn something new every time I turn on my sewing machine. As long as you are advancing, then you are obviously sewing correctly.

Let's go back in time for a moment.
