Wonderful episode and your Alpine Bloom is beautiful! Mabel is beyond adorable! Have a wonderful trip and looking forward to your Vlogmas always so enjoyable😍
Hi Nicole! EPIC Halloween costume!! When my kids were younger, I did some themed family costumes. One year the two kids were ladybugs and I made ladybug wings they could wear and they had black headbands with black curly antennae and I wore the youngest on my back and I was a leaf with a felt leaf headband and green face paint to make myself more leaf-like lol. And my husband was a farmer. LOVE the contrast in your Alpine Bloom yoke. You could tie the square scarf around a part of your leather tote handle for a little flair? Wishing you smooth and safe travels Nicole!!!~Stephanie
Don’t feel bad about your Love Note KAL-the fall semester is exhausting, and you’ve had a lot going on in addition. For your leftover Spincycle…designer Briana Arlene released a pattern last month called the Wild Iris Hat. She specifically designed it to use up leftover Spincycle! I was a tester, and it was a really fun pattern that results in a suuuuuper squishy hat. You could also use the Alpine Bloom motif and make it into a hat (I know there’s a pattern for it as well, if you don’t want to math it out yourself).
Great to catch up with what you're doing. Zigzag stitch would be the one to use for a stretchier hem on stretchy fabric (not sure if you used that on the leg or not). I've sewed the kids some outfits in the past, not halloween but just dress ups. The latest project I did was for my youngest school formal. It was a David Bowie inspired suit. I didn't make the suit but just enhanced it with some lightning bolts and a big star on the back which was fun. Safe travels! xx
Hello, Nicole, from Swansea, Illinois. ❤❤❤❤ you should have a stretch stitch on your machine, E600 glue is great. I have used it glueing stones my granddaughters dance costumes, I have glued so many stones. I think you did a wonderful job!
Leftover spincycle you could make the matching hat. I have done several hats of the alpine bloom. You can make more than one hat with the one skein. I made my daughter a leather skirt with a beaded trim for a concert when she sang a Tina Turner song. I had leftover leather from making a seat cover for my husband's airplane. A tip... you could practice a hem on the sleeve and leg that you cut off or sewing on trim from the costume.
I love your first sweater, even if it is a dirty rainbow, it's fantastic, even more so knowing how well it's held up!
So much fun to see you have fun with all your makings! ❤
aww thanks!

Oh wow, I just googled that hat and it's so cute! what a great suggestion.
The scarf fabric could make a very cute notions pouch!
That's a fun idea!

The zig zag stitch is a great suggestion (I did not do that). The David bowie costume sounds awesome. Thinking about you today.

That's a terrific idea! I didn't realize that the hat didn't use much spincycle! :)
A Harlow hat would be cute with the leftover spincycle
that's a great idea! for some reason, I was thinking I needed a whole skein though. I should look at the yardage :)
You could get a couple of scrunchies out of that gorgeous Japanese fabric…
fun idea!
