Well, yet again this past week was busy. I did manage to eek out a few pair of pants for Kailan. I have two more pair cut up for him that I need to get made yet. Then I made the kids their treat bags, too. That was super simple, so I won’t profess any […]

A sewing forum I frequent is having a pattern contest this month, so I thought I would join in. I only have to make it in one size, so that takes a lot of work out of it. I made this dress a few times this spring, so it was something I already made before. […]

You can never have enough dresses
By Stacy on October 13, 2009At least that is what Anya probably feels like. Well, I guess I do, too, since I have so much fun making them. 😉 I actually made this dress a few weeks ago and forgot I hadn’t posted it yet. It didn’t get posted with the rest of the sewing frenzy because when Anya put […]
I just have one measly little baby blanket to show this week. It’s cute, is it not? My sister and I went to a baby shower for our cousin’s wife on Saturday. It is their first. A nice snuggly pink blanket. The flannel here is really soft, in addition to the cuddle fleece (aka minky, […]

Just in time for the Renaissance Festival
By Stacy on September 29, 2009On Saturday we went to the Renaissance Faire. We met some friends there with their two kids and had a rather nice time. The kids got to ride an elephant and go on a few more rides. I love our Ren Faire – it is in a great wooded area and lots of people dress […]
One of the places I like to look at for inspiration is Chasing Fireflies. They have really cute and original clothes. I saw this dress and thought it was pretty cute. Here is my attempt at duplicating it. I elongated and a-lined a basic long-sleeved t-shirt pattern. Then I cut a few tiers into the […]

The urchins have clothes now
By Stacy on September 14, 2009The fruits of my labor. The urchins now have clothes to warm their little bodies when the weather turns frigid and cold. Of course, this past week or so summer decided to arrive. Finally. Of course I was holed up in my dining room sewing up a storm and drafting patterns left and right. I wasn’t […]
When we were cleaning out the basement I came upon the tub of Halloween costumes. In it was this lovely little creation I made for Anya when she was 2 years old. I had made the jacket a bit too big for her at the time. I’m not sure if the pattern had a smaller […]
Yes, already. Since I am planning on making the little urchins wardrobe, I kinda need to get going on making sure they have clothes to wear once the weather turns frigid. First up is a fleece outfit. It is meant to have a long sleeve t-shirt on underneath and she has plenty that still fit […]
Finally…I got these shirts finished for Kailan. He has been asking me to make him these shirts for a good month, and I have had them cut out for awhile. I did them all at the same time, so they went together faster. Now I can start to concentrate on Fall/Winter/Halloween. Always somethin’ to do! Kai […]
