Well…summer has just flown by. I’m sure I am not the only one that feels this way, as it seems to do that every year. It was a good thing that I got a lot of things sewn up before I started my job, since I have no free time anymore. Between my new job […]

In the last few years I have purchased, sewn up and washed fabrics from a several different custom fabric shops. I know there are several more that offer custom fabric printing, but depending on minimums I won’t order if it has a minimum of over 2 yards. I’m not going to sink that much money […]
I wanted to make a heavy knit black jacket to wear to work, and so I decided to draft something. I ended up drafting it and cutting it out before I started my new job, but didn’t quite get it sewed up. I used a 4 way heavy ponte like knit, and used a princess […]
It seems like as the end of the school year approaches, everyone is just barely getting by! We finished up volleyball for the boy and girl, and then also had to make sure all their end of year projects were getting finished up. Both will end with A-averages, and both had great volleyball seasons with […]

Well, it happened. I got a job. No more sleeping in, drinking coffee and checking Facebook for the first half of the day. 😉 No…now I have to actually use my brain again! It should be interesting and challenging, which is something my last job wasn’t for several years. I’m looking forward to it! Now, […]
Well, April just flew by. We had some out of town shenanigans, lots of snow, the big melt, and running around. The boy started high school boys volleyball, so two volleyball kids meant lots of games and tournaments. I am also still looking for gainful employment, so that has been tons of fun. 😉 Here […]

Moto pants
By Stacy on May 6, 2019
As part of my #makenine for 2019, I put a pair of moto looking leggings on it. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided that I would change it up to be more pants similar to the ones I made last fall for my Warrior outfit. These were self-drafted and require some different […]
I have really pulled back lately in sewing up strike off samples, but I rather liked this stripe from Moonbeam Textile Company. It is part of their Floral Force pre-order round that runs until May 21st. I thought this print would work great for a maxi dress, so I based this off of my favorite […]
I saw an ad on Instagram for some different temporary tattoos from a company called Momentary Ink. These are like your normal temporary tattoos that you give the kids, only it has a “de-glossing” liquid you put over the top of them. They also are “sticky” when you put them on your skin, so they […]
