A Throw back Thursday Make

-


Hello and welcome! I'm in the process of working on some unfinished outfits (UFOs) as well as my very first jacket made of a black and white tweed fabric ( I added a little peep of it below ). I also, lost my mom this pass September and I hadn't felt much like sewing or crafting lately but thanks be to God I'm slowly getting back into the groove.  So, I decided that since I haven't really completed anything new, I thought  that I would in stead share a garment from the past on this day that many of us refer to as "Throw Back Thursday".

I made my tbt top 3-1/2 to 4 years ago, sorry I don't remember the pattern that was used but I do recall it being an easy make, as a matter of fact, there is a Vogue dress pattern that I plan to purchase that is similar.  The fabric I used for this top was a very soft, Chevron printed, stretch knit that was purchased from Hancock Fabric's unfortunately, they went out of business last year... bummer!! What I like most about this top is the draped front neckline. Thanks for stopping by, feel free to leave a comment and/or subscribe.   You too can make it if you try, just DIY!!!  Bless ups to you all.




 




 
I can hardly wait to see how my tweed jacket is going to turn out.  Just bell sleeves, lining/interfacing and buttons to go!

  Hi loves, well June is almost over, and come to think of it June is the halfway mark of this year being almost over as well.  When starting this blog my goal has been to post something here at least once if not twice a month and the  last day of June is fastly approaching.  So, without further ado let me give you a few details about my makes for this month.  I made this top and skirt a few Summers ago with this gorgeous floral linen  fabric that I purchased at Joann Fabrics but on the other hand I might have purchased it at Hancock Fabric before they went out of business ( I'm still sad about that, I really enjoyed shopping there ). I used a pattern to make the top and the skirt was self drafted .  The top is pullover with elastic neckline and 3/4 length sleeve with flounce .  The skirt is a straight line, maxi length with elastic in waist. As you can see in the photos ( below ), I have paired the top with pants ( an old purchase from Dillards ) and I paired the S

Got Faith!

According to God's word in the book of Hebrew Chapter 11 verse 1 says Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. That is one pretty simple definition of  faith ( I appreciate it being so simple God, thank you ) While faith is putting our trust in something we cannot see, it doesn't mean that there is no evidence for that faith.  We believe God exist not because we can see Him but because we have plenty of evidence that He exists.  We have nature,  Roman 1: 20  states that for since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature -have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made such as the sky, clouds, moon, sun, stars, trees, and flowers (just to name a few) so we're without excuse.  We just can not explain creation without acknowledging God as the Creator.  We also have God's word ( the bible ) which proclaims that God exists and there's plenty

Eula's Iced Potatoes and Green Beans Recipe

Growing up in the south (Florida to be exact ) with fresh vegetable/fruit market and stands on almost every corner, fresh was never hard to come by. Although there were some can veggies stocked in the pantry they were there only if getting to the market to buy fresh wasn't possible.  I can recall right now the many of mornings and sometimes evening my granny and I would walk to the corner store and purchase fresh green beans and potatoes, return to the house and gather all the things we needed to prep the beans and head out to sit on her huge front porch to snap and wash the beans for cooking.  And even to this day I can still hear my granny say " Chile add a few iced potatoes, which were white potatoes ( although I use red potatoes now ) in those beans" as she showed me how to cook green beans. So here I'm sharing how I prep and cook this delicious green bean and potato dish that is great as a meal all by itself or a side dish with one of your
