I have been hard at work preparing some outfits for Anya once the weather gets chilly. Like now. It snowed on Sunday. Blech, blech, blech! Unfortunately the Prince has notice his lack of new clothes made by the sweat of my brow and has been asking where are his clothes. Look for boy clothes forthcoming […]

It goes without saying that most of Anya’s clothes cost less than $10 in supplies, or $15 at the most for an entire outfit. Time, well that is another thing. After being on the Spoonflower waiting list for several months, I was finally able to order my first fabrics in mid-September. It took 3 weeks to […]
After getting a bit of a shock as to how high our credit card has become, I decided to not buy a new dress for the wedding a few weekends ago. Since all of my other dresses didn’t fit me. Which sucks. I delved and dived into my fabric stash of sunken costs and decided to […]

For the baby boy
By Stacy on September 23, 2008Although I have several things I have made lately, I will have to settle for showing just this one thing today because the shots of everything else is lacking. I made this baby blanket for a friend who had her 2nd little boy in July. You don’t really need nice warm blankies in July, so […]
Before getting my serger for Christmas last year, I wasn’t a fan of sewing with knit fabrics. It wasn’t the easiest with my regular sewing machine since they stretched so much and the hems looked all wonky. Now I have a whole mess of knits that are simply begging to be made into cute little outfits […]
On Saturday one of our friend’s turned 29…again. 😉 I hadn’t made a necklace in a long time so I decided to pull out my beads and see what I had to work with. The necklace and earrings I made are bronze beads with silver findings. I couldn’t just leave it at that, so I […]
As per the usual, when I go to create something I keep on changing it up as I go. I started out planning on making a simple twirl skirt. Well, then I looked at the box of laces my Grandma Jo gave me, since she wasn’t using them, and decided to throw some of them […]
Yesterday I clicked over to Indie Tutes and found that I won a drawing for her first pattern-zine. Yay me! Take a wander around her blog and store. She is a great seamstress and shares freely with her tutorials on all aspects of sewing for little ones. I found her site on Craftster, which is a […]
I made these a few weekends ago for me. I didn’t make anything last weekend, because I was very busy doing something I hadn’t planned or wanted to do. I have a post about that lovely experience set up for Friday. Curious? 😉 This is pink froofrooness, and that is a non-word. It describes this […]
Last week I had a few days off on vacation since my office was being recarpeted. I needed to vacate the premises, so what better reason to take some time off? I made my annual trek up to a fabric outlet in the northern suburbs about 20 some miles away. The mileage isn’t so far, […]
