Meetup 2 Bonus Crop Top to match Pants with pockets

-

 




I am doing a quick crop top from the extra fabric from the pants.

It was from the 2.97 'Treasure Hunt'  Room so I said I will take all.... Now I am using it all.






There are 4 pieces to this top.  A front and back piece and two lining pieces.
Only have 4 pieces   Pattern piece for back place on fold and
Pattern piece for lining place on fold

Pattern piece for Front place on Fold and Front lining place on fold

This is showing the Front Piece cut out and the lining piece cut out and there is a pin at the dart point on both sides of front and then I clip the dots where the fold is on the side seam.  This is quick and easy for me to just fold and sew.  Here the pieces are laid together and ready to sew.  Actually I press them well before sewing


This is the back piece with the lining piece laid on top the way it will be sewn.  Clips at all dots.  This is sewn at seam lines but stopped at dots at top shoulder so when you flip, you can open the shoulder top to sew the front to the back.  It takes longer to blog this to than it takes to make it.

Pressed, sewn clipped ready to flip and press shoulders

Flipped and pressed


Quick to sew and match a pair of pants-slip on and wear your new outfit to work


I loved this little short top that is non-stretch.  I made it out of the leftovers of the green pants with pockets material.  It was quick and easy and I was able to make it and wear it to work with the pants and I made the Free-Flowing Jacket of Meetup 3 and wore it with the outfit

Making a Room Divider with Fabric and Cardboard

 Making Things that are Easy and Quick Everything I do is not always sewing as you could see from my Polar Fleece edging blog.  Now I am sewing today, but I am planning a room divider.  I really don't lift heavy things, but I have a doorway that is just a hole to under the stairs where I store things.  I want to put a room divider there. A.  I can't find anything I like. B.  They are probably heavy. So  I am going to put random pieces of cardboard together to the size I want and then cover it with Library fabric that looks like books on shelves.  This has been something I have been searching for and have not been able to find for a month or two.  So I decided to make one. Sew, I am posting a picture of the divider I fashioned.  It is actually attached to a hanger so that it can be rotated to go into the storage space under the stair.  There is no electrical light, so I managed to find some motion detector lights on amazon that I could stick on the sides and under a stair back a

  More Intermediate sewing on  https://www.sewmorewithkitty.com This is the method where you slip the fringe through the top of itself.  THIS IS NOT QUICK!. Easy you can do while watching a movie.   I used this template purchased at GSTREETFABRICS   where I work a few days a week.  One piece of patterned fleece one piece of solid fleece the same size and a rotary cutter and this template.  You also need a self-healing matt so you don't cut through to your table or bedspread etc.  You can see here I have a folded cardboard tabletop with a self-healing mat and then the two fabrics I am cutting. First lay your two fabrics on top of each other and make sure they are cut to the same size. Second cut out a five inch square corner on all for corners Cut out the corners out in this case 5 " Cut the Strips  1 1/2 wide or 3 slots in Fringe cutter 5" in Poke a hole with your Seam ripper slightly elongated to allow to pull the corner through. In this case I made the fringe strips 1 1
