Is that a good name for it? Not sure what to call this style. Okay, what we have here is a tutorial for a pattern hack to get this style of top: Instructions to hack a pattern In order to do this hack, you need a basic long sleeve t-shirt top pattern that fits. I […]
I have been wanting to make this cardigan for quite awhile. It wasn’t the color I would choose, but I loved the flounces. This would have to be flounces and not ruffles, as the gathering would make it horrendous to sew the seams. My plan of attack was to use the WBM basic t-shirt and […]
One of the things I like about sewing up strike-offs of fabrics is that it forces me to be more creative. The other seamstresses are good at what they do, so just making a plain top or something isn’t trying hard enough. I want to make something awesome with the strikes! Awesome it is. She’s […]
Go Pack Go! Sara at RP Custom Fabrics has a new pre-order up with tartan plaids in team colors. How awesome is that?? I love this idea and had to make up a top for me in the Green, Gold and White Tartan. I didn’t have any matching green, so I went to the closet […]
A few groups have rounds opening this week, so I was super busy again making clothes for my little fashionista. I decided to focus on fall items, since we will be winding up summer here pretty soon. This fabric is from the Horror/Plaid round at RP Custom fabrics and will start running on August 20. […]
Here is another seasonal print that is for winter. This print is a kids panel, with a matching coordinate from Zenith & Quasar fabrics. The panel looks like this (print yet to come): 24″ tall x 58-60″ wide cut including: 1 front panel (24″ x 20ish”) 1 back panel, solid color (24″ x 20ish”) 1 […]
Well, the request was odd, but the item to make was pretty easy. One of the dad’s on my son’s baseball team collects dinosaur bones. He had a 4′ dinosaur bone that he unearthed on a dig that he needed to have a pouch to cushion it as it stood end on end. This pouch […]
Hey look, something that is not a pattern test or strike off sewing! I have been wanting to make another sheer inset top in black. I have made a white one and one with huge sleeves. The process in drafting this was pretty easy. I used a dolman top pattern that I made from a […]
Yes, indeed. I do have more fabric from the Fun Rounds! Arcoiris at RP Custom Fabrics This is the color wheel print, and I decided to make a skort and top with a flounce for the girl. This were really easy to cut with the circular lines in the prints. I used two 25″ rounds […]
This print is part of the RP Custom Fabrics – Fun Rounds pre-order. The image is of a sunset skyline in a circular format. Really pretty! (click on picture to go to the pre-order for it) I received a few of the smaller round panels, and two that were the same size. I think they […]
