I have been wanting one of those comfy knit maxi dresses, but most of the styles in the store don’t do anything for me. I finally figured out a design that would be flattering AND comfy for me. I used two different jersey knit fabrics, a faux leather and lacework appliqué I bought at the […]
Last year, I got a bit punchy after trying on swimsuits at the local retailers, so went to the overpriced department store. I knew they would sock it to me, but I just wanted a swimsuit that would fit! Is that so much to ask? Apparently, the question is cheap, but the suit is not. I […]
I love this dress. It probably helps that I made this dress. It is comfy jersey with a bit of cool with the appliqué back that has some venting for those hot summer days…where I will be sitting on the deck…with my wine. That’s my plan. Dress: made by me Earrings: Silpada Necklace: Claire’s (many […]
An inspired dress for her birthday
By Stacy on May 6, 2012Every little girl wants a floaty gossamer princess dress, right? Especially for her BIRTHDAY, right?? I try to make her a special dress every year for her birthday.

I wanted something I could use as a carry-on for plane travel and just going overnight to my parent’s house. This should fit the bill pretty well. I checked the airline to […]
Anya’s part in the 1st Grade Performance is a speaking part as a scarecrow. When she came home with her assignment, she was not a happy camper. To put it lightly. You could say she was mad! I told her I would make her a “cute” scarecrow outfit. She was STILL mad. Then I told […]
As I was taking the pictures for this outfit, I was a bit struck at how it looked like I was trying a costume on from an earlier era. Oh well. These pieces will be fine in more modern outfits, too. I think the shirt will be great with some skinny blue jeans and […]

The Boy has his First Communion coming up, and they need to have some fancy dress for this momentous occassion. He gets to drink wine. In church. I know some kids will likely show up in suits, but I didn’t want to waste money on something that would get worn all of one time before he […]
