I decided I needed to make my kids some clothes to wear for our family pictures. I was waiting for peak Fall colors and wanted to go with colors that had browns, olive greens, tans, etc. Of course, I decided this when I didn’t have a lot of time to get it done. I […]
I am part of several Facebook groups that deal with sewing and fabric. On one of the fabric groups, there are ladies that order fabric from manufacturers in China. I thought I would give it a shot, since Spoonflower cannot print a true black on their knit fabrics. It will probably end up being about […]
It is the time of year when I focus on back to school sewing. The Boy doesn’t really need too much. He really just likes to wear exercise pants/shorts and t-shirts. Not exactly exciting to sew. The Girl, at least, is a little fashionista. She likes new clothes, but they must be comfortable. She told […]
Bringing home this guest post I did last month on Craftingcon.com. ______________________________________________________________________ Hello there! I am Stacy of the blog stylinstacy.com. I am also an 80’s girl, so I have seen most of the movies of the 80’s. Going through all of the movies definitely brought back some memories! In the end I decided to […]
This purse was intended to be taken on a trip last week to Cincinnatti to see our friends that moved there last summer. I was rushing and things were not going well. Finally, I had to just leave it and use an old purse. Not like I didn’t have anything to use, you know. 😉 […]
These suckers were harder than I thought they would be. I decided to make my kids new lunchboxes as their old ones had seen better days. They get used usually 4 days a week during school, so they need to be able to take a lickin’ and keep on truckin’. They also need to be […]
My son loves his robe. He lives in the thing. He will throw on some of the flannel pants that I have made him and the robe, and if we have no where to go on the weekends he will wear it all day long. That thing could go take a walk, since he barely […]
On Pinterest (the Mecca of crafty inspiration) I saw a picture about burning designs into leather with a wood burning tool. Hey…I had leather…AND a wood burning tool. Of course I had to give it a go! I have a sophisticated wood burner that is either On or Off. I read online it was best […]
In the “easiest patterns ever” category, this should go pretty much to the top of the list. It is a just 4 pieces, but yet, I managed to make the first one too big and too long. I measured my upper bust, hip and then determined how long I wanted it. I added too much […]
I love to do costumes, so I stepped up when Crafting Con was asking for guest posters. The concept is making clothes that are wearable “costumes”, but not too over the top where it looks like a costume. Get it? The theme this month is 80’s movies, so I did a google search to refresh […]
