I counted…I now have 21 skorts from my skort pattern. I usually make one or two new ones each summer, so they add up! I have one pair of actual shorts that fit, and I never wear them. I always wear skorts. From my original pattern, I have changed it up and done the skirt […]
Whether it is by plane or by car, it is always nice to have a comfy outfit to wear. I made this dressy casual outfit from a navy bamboo fleece and a heather blue ponte fabric. I was going to make the jacket out of all ponte, but then, alas, by eyeball measurement of having […]
The unsung heros of being able to sew is all those small things that you tackle. Example: I also had a few things that I made that I had cut out at some point in the past few months. Sometimes I go through spurts when I cut out some stuff and then I have to […]
I purchased this printed rock leather a few months ago and with an upcoming rock concert, I decided to make another sling bag. I also had purchased some skull zipper pulls, so got to use them! I added a zipper pocket to the back of this one, too. I did have to redo the pattern […]
I have been on a bag making spree lately. I don’t really have any recipients for these bags, and am mostly just making them in case I actually end up selling them. Mostly I’m just trying out some patterns and ideas. This one is based off a picture I saw on Pinterest with the front […]
This is one of my favorite surface designs that I have done. I love the colors of the fish and the drawing turned out really well for this yin yang design. I ordered this in linen and then coated it with Odicoat to preserve it. I cut out the circles and then cut it out […]
I have no person in mind for this, I just wanted to make it. Maybe it will be a gift for someone or it can go towards a potential market booth in the future. I used the same pattern as the mushroom bag earlier. It looks like this and the dimensions are around 10″ x […]
I asked my son to pick out a style of men’s cross-body bags from several pictures I had saved. He picked this one: I made some changes, since that overlap at the sides was going to be extra layers to sew through and I knew my machine would not like it. I boxed the quarters […]
When my family was cleaning out my grandma’s house after she passed, they found a small bin full of deerhides. Some were in decent condition, some were pretty stained up, but there were enough to be used. As I am the only one that really sews or uses leather, they ended up at my house. […]
After I made this whimsical print, I decided I needed to make my daughter something from it. I ordered a few of the versions and this one I ordered in velvet. It doesn’t photograph well, but it does match the green of the design. This purse design is a new one I made this fall […]
