Well, here we are again! This week we are supposed to upcycle from a ready made garment. I wasn’t sure what I had and thought I would have to go to a thrift store to find something. That would have negated my intention to not buy ANYTHING for this contest, as I have way too […]
This week’s challenge for Project Run and Play is to design your own fabric. For me this is not such a stretch, as I have a Spoonflower shop of fabric I have designed from my scribbles. I think the current blog background I made would make a pretty fabric design, too. Here are a few […]
I am currently participating in a blog contest where we sew something each week based on a theme. This is the first week’s theme – Nature Inspired. I based it off some fabric I have been hoarding for a long time. The look is inspired by the American Southwest landscapes. If you are interested in […]
Well, hey there! Here we are kicking off Skirt Fixation’s Adult Create Week 1. The theme this week is nature inspired, so I finally, finally am sewing up this piece of fabric I got from a world traveler friend. She and her family are in the foreign services and were stationed in Mozambique at the […]
Ah yes…yet another Spring Break where we are NOT going someplace warm. That is the sucky part of being an accountant this time of year. I am still working on getting tax returns out to people and it is quarter-end. Fun times, fun times. In honor of warmth that we will receive in about 2 […]
This is the first week of sewing along with Project Run and Play, and the theme this week is zoo-inspired. I had a few zebra things in the stash, so this was a pretty easy one to do for me. I found a super cute zebra design in the Silhouette store, had some zebra minky and […]
Well, I have been sewing, but we have also been a bit busy over here. The Boy had his 4th grade performance, whereby we all got to listen to the wildly entertaining, and often off-key, recorders. Then we saw something more musically thrilling: Imagine Dragons! That was a fun concert, though it was on a school […]
This dress is all satin, and another labor of love. It wasn’t too difficult to put together, but I wasn’t sure if I would ever wear it. I dressed it down here with a black sweater, so it wasn’t so over the top. The fabric was a great find and I probably paid around $5 […]
I can’t wait for spring, so I can take pictures outside. These pictures inside are for the birds. It is so hard to get the color right and you can barely make everything out! This is a nicely lined jacket that is version #1 for me. I have some fabrics that I want to use […]
I have been playing with some leather in my sewing room lately. The leather in this outfit is called Perfection Fused Leather, and is a bit of a man-made concoction. Somehow they fused calfskin onto a lycra based fabric, and it is sold by the yard instead of by the hide. It is rather nice […]
