How to Sew Bed Sheets

January 7, 2018

We recently upgraded our queen size mattress to a king size mattress by way of getting two twin XL mattresses and shoving them together to make a king size mattress. I needed to make new bedding!! … More How to Sew Bed Sheets

I had a flurry of posts last week. If you missed it, I blogged about my method for adding pockets to T-shirts. A small detail really changes the look of a shirt and now I think all T-shirts for Ryan must have a pocket. #strathconahenley #threadtheorydesigns #agfknits #feelthedifference

Remember that big t-shirt comparison I promised? I finally finished the post. If you want to see my duct tape self-drafted pattern compared to 8 different sewing patterns go check out my blog. #linkinbio #outlier #sewingpatterns

Here’s the last of three flannel shirts I made in November. I’ve already started another batch of #m6044 shirts for Ryan. I must be crazy. #robertkaufmanflannel #sewingtall

Nothing like lining up plaid on the arms to match the body! I’m also in love with the brown buttons that make this bland gray and cream plaid extra special. Swipe left to see more. #sewingtall #m6044 #mccallpatterncompany

It’s been too long but I finally have a new blog post about adding a pocket to a t-shirt. Link in bio. #tutorial #sewingtall #agfknits

Over the last month I’ve sewn 4 flannel shirts, three of which went to Ryan. Of course I used #m6044 pattern for all of them. I’m in a contest with @cookinandcraftin for how many times we use this pattern. This shirt may look ok from afar but this fabric was way too thick for this shirt. My sewing is atrocious but Ryan is still willing to wear it. #robertkaufmanflannel #mccallspatterns #sewingtall

On a positive note, I love how much knitting I get done on my commute. This is a sweater for my hubby. #neuroscientistwhoknits

If you look closely you can see what I sewed over the weekend, a basic mustard yellow t-shirt. I’ve been trying to persuade myself I stick to basics for a bit. I have three more weeks of lecturing and then I’ll be able to get back to more sewing and blogging. #agfknits #wearefabrics

It may be simple but the whole thing is handmade. Ryan did the tree this weekend and together we made the origami ornaments. This is our first ever Christmas tree!!! #handmadephd
