Our girl was doing a research project on elephant conservation, so I decided she needed an elephant shirt to wear during her presentation. It was a good little presentation, and she learned the awful things that happen to the poor elephants. She’s an animal lover for sure. Right now she is thinking of becoming a […]
This is a quick turnaround strike-off sample that I was selected to sew up from a seamstress call at Threaded Candy Customs. These stripes are supposed to go with a Halo gamer print, but these are also great for the summer-at-the-coast vibe. I decided to sew them up into a summer dress. I really, really […]

Here is the second set of prints that I sewed up the samples for Fabric Anthropology. This one relates to Helga in the Vikings series, and is a phrase she said in show. These fabrics are French Terry. A note about printing colors. The brushed poly is a synthetic, and the colors are closer the […]

There are a few panels with just phrases, and then panels with some of the characters on it. The coordinates include the battle print below, a print with ships (another blog post will be […]

I got another of my #makenine challenges completed, and it was this skirt that I have been coveting for several years on Pinterest. I wanted to wear it to work, so that length wasn’t quite going to work for me. I made it longer, but I think I may take the waist off and shave […]
A few years ago I purchased a t-shirt at the store Maurice’s. It was one of those, “I need something new to wear this weekend” purchases, and so I didn’t expect to wear it much. Turns out I wore it A LOT. Sequins always make a shirt better I decided I needed to make a […]
This is a semi-tutorial. I got some pictures, but usually when I sit down at my machine, all thoughts of pictures go out the window as I am sewing. This shows the process moreso. The 52 Week Sewing Challenge group has for this week’s challenge Sew Something to Make Sewing Easier. This was a head […]
I have been meaning to tackle another of these hoodie jackets since I made the first one. Knowing how long it was going to take definitely made my hold off on it, though. I ended up putting it in my #makenine challenge so I was sure to get it done! I also saw this jacket […]
