I didn’t get much done on the sewing front this past week. I worked out every day last week, so that was my excuse. I did get a project done that had been waiting for a year. I spray-painted some picture frames and put my wall of pictures back up after taking them down when […]
When I was in college I bought a pretty little cheap suit at TJ Maxx. I got rid of it at one point, but I still miss it. It had a jacket with a flounce all the way around and a pencil skirt. I would certainly wear the jacket now, but the skirt probably didn’t […]
My next inspiration dress comes from Chasing Fireflies. They have tons of pretty girly dresses. This dress was done in denim and retails for $238 (ouch!). Very pretty with lots of detailing, so I can understand why it is spendy. (click on picture to go to website) I wanted to do a similar dress, though […]
A few girly things… Birthday gift for one of Anya’s girlfriends I really wasn’t going to make a gift for this party. I was busy and stressed and really didn’t want to have to sew a dress. Then I thought the little girl would feel bad if I didn’t make her one when I’ve made […]
More sewing for your’s truly. I think part of the joy I get out of sewing is making patterns and sewing things that fit me. This tends to backfire occassionally when I spend hours making something for myself and then it doesn’t fit. Very frustrating! Here are a couple of tank tops that I traced […]
I don’t think I have made six birthday dresses for her, but it was her 6th birthday. I didn’t start sewing for her until she was a little over a year, and I think her 2nd birthday was the first time I made anything special for her to wear on her special day. She was pretty […]
S.W.A.P. = sewing with a plan for those not into the online sewing terminology. Basically, you try to sew a coordinating group of items. I tried to make some coordinating outfits for our trip to Vegas so I didn’t need to buy anything. Ha! Like that worked! I did use some of the items I […]
I decided I need a new purse for the trip, so I did a new fabric design. I wanted it to fit my camera, a wristlet and some books for the flight and for carrying around. First I figured out the dimension that I wanted the purse to be, and then I designed the fabric and […]
Right? It’s getting there. Sloooowwwwwly but surely we will have some warmth. In about 2 months. I cut out these shorts late last summer, but never got around to making them. They are from a Built by Wendy pattern. The back flaps in the pattern are not real pockets, so I changed it by adding real […]
The kindergarteners were supposed to have yellow shirts at school, and Anya didn’t have a yellow shirt. I did what I usually do…make something for her. Unfortunately, she wore it and it was still in the wash on the day she needed to have it. Of course! Luckily Kailan had a yellow shirt (with one of […]
