Spandex again...

Kwik Sew pattern #2797 how I love you.

I shortened the original pattern, cutting the leg to 7" below the crotch seam. This is the small size.
Having trouble understanding how this pattern piece becomes a pair of spandex shorts? The waist of the shorts is on the right side, while the bottom is on the left. You cut two pieces out. The seams on the top and bottom of the photo become the center front and center back seams (from waist to crotch). This is confusing to explain.... sorry.

I also embroidered a No Hands tag on bias tape!

This last photo is just of a dress I hemmed. It used to go down to the floor. My sister wore it in high school. Now that it's short, we're going to share it.
Not related to spandex shorts at all. Just a cute dress.

Soap Making

I was able to sit in on a soap making workshop at Make, because I work for the owner, Diana Rupp. The workshop was run by the folks at Meow Meow Tweet, a handmade soap company in Brooklyn. They were an adorable soap making team.
The photo above is of the cut up soap from the class. I packaged it up for my sister and my parents (shh! it's a surprise). Also in the photo is the bar of soap they instructors gave me for helping out. It is a fennel, orange and oat bar with a goose print on the packaging.

Class!

Below is the soap in our bodega coffee cup molds. (We ran out of milk cartons.)

We made two different flavors. Lemon and ... well ... I don't remember, but it smells great!
Out of the mold.
Soap making was a surprisingly easy process. It's not going to be my new craft of choice, though. If you have soap needs, check out their website. It's super cute!

spandextrous

I bought a pattern for spandex leggings. They were super simple to make. I gave them to Laura, because I'm not in need for another pair of leggings. BUT I am in need for some stretchy black shorts for summer time. Something to wear underneath fun summer dresses and skirts. I'm going to use the same pattern, but alter the leg length and shorten the waist. I forget the pattern brand and number, but I'll post it with the shorts.

Rosie made a pizza....CAKE

Yellow cake, different color icing, coconut "cheese" and strawberry "pepperoni."

She is a genius.
