We are heading into the lovely grey days of Autumn, where it tends to rain a bit and then snow a bit. Not looking forward to either, especially after the beautiful weekend we had. I took these shots right before it started to rain, and the skies were getting a bit grey. Definitely a Monday morning. […]

Tween all the way
By Stacy on September 22, 2014Today I am guest posting over on the Oliver & S blog, showing how to tween-ify some of their patterns that go up to a size 12. The patterns I chose were actually two boy patterns that I made for the Girl. I think the main difference between boy and girl patterns are the fact […]
Pinteresting Project – August
By Stacy on September 9, 2014Hey, back to Pinterest! I know it is no longer August, but I made this in August. I just didn’t get any pictures taken of it. This is my take on this Desingual skirt I found and pinned. I did the yoke and pockets, but pretty much everything else is a bit different from the […]
So LAST YEAR at the Sewing Mama’s retreat I made this shirt. It was the first thing I made, and I loved how it turned out. I got home and the Little Miss tried it on. Too tight in the sleeves. *sigh* I thought that I had put it downstairs on my sewing table. When […]
One of the things that I wanted to get done at the sewing retreat were some cargo shorts for the Boy. They are time consuming to do, with all the pockets and topstitching, so I figured getting some dedicated sewing time would be good! I got two pairs of shorts completed for him. This pattern […]
Today I am posting at the tail end of the Refashion Month Series on House of Estrela. This is a refashion of a dress of mine that I did at one point this winter. It was supposed to be for an upcycle contest, but I never got pictures taken of the girl wearing it. It […]
Here is another maxi skirt and top that I made. Super comfy for summertime! The skirt is a bit…thin, though. I should not be standing in front of a light source in this because it is see through. When it cools down I can wear a slip, but right now it is far to warm […]
I know, I know…I failed miserably at taking pictures for Me Made May. I did, however, wear my clothes I made for a good 5 or 6 days each week. It’s not hard when you make a lot of your own clothes. I have been pretty busy with the kids’ summer sports, so I have […]
This shirt is one that I sewed up at the retreat. I copied it off a RTW shirt that I had in my closet that was getting faded and had some holes in the front. I had it all cut out ahead of time, so I just had to sew it up when I got […]
I had a great time at the Sewing Mamas retreat this past weekend. Bonus: it was pretty close to me, whereas most everyone else had to drive far or fly in for it. We went shopping at SR Harris, and I spent too much money on fabric…again. Then we sewed and gabbed and ate things that […]
