The blog tour was sponsored by GYCT Designs, and they offered the blog tour participants the Primary Tee.  There is a giveaway and sale included!  The sale […]

Focus – Week 27

By on July 12, 2018

Whenever July 4th is in the middle of the week, we don’t seem to go anywhere or do anything.  This past week we were just tired, so we stayed in and watched a Band of Brothers marathon.  It was nice to sit and do nothing.  I almost finished a loom knitted scarf during the marathon.  […]

Here is the last print I sewed up for the current rounds open at Fabric Anthropology/Thread Therapy Fabric.  I volunteered to sew up too many fabrics this time.  I didn’t keep track of what I had already signed up for, soooooo…yeah, a little stressed with getting them sewn up and photographed!

Striped summer romper

By on July 1, 2018

I have to admit…I’ve been in a bit of a sewing slump lately.  This is mostly due to the fact that it is super busy with sports during June, and I don’t have much time to sew.  I like to have larger tracts of time to be creative, and that just hasn’t been happening lately. […]

Joggers in Night Scribble

By on June 30, 2018

I have a tendency to draft new patterns whenever I have a sample strike off to sew up.  I know…Imma little cray cray in that.  I have to say they don’t always turn out, but this one did! Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you click a […]

This is my second year participating in the Sew Americana Blog tour by Wild & Wanderful, and it is a fun mid-summer prompt to get something sewn up for the 4th of July.  I was hoping that I would have more time to sew and get something made, but my free time has really been […]

Skulls and Mesh

By on June 1, 2018

I am sad to say that I actually bought the girl some clothes for summer.   I have been really good the last several years, and have made most of her clothes.  Something had to give, though.  Time has not been plentiful of late to get things sewn up for her. I did get a […]

We fight.

By on May 30, 2018

“We fight.  That is how we win, that is how we die.” Ragnar to Bjorn, Season 3, The Vikings Look familiar?  Well, I did make my hubby a t-shirt with that saying on it from fabric from Fabric Anthropology.  The panels were adult only, though.  My girl reads a lot of Y.A. books on female […]
