Last week I was avoiding my sewing room like the plague. Having to alter a prom dress will do that to me… My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – Softball tournament on Saturday and the girls won it! She had some nice plays, but it seems like she may have strained a muscle. Her arm […]
It seems crazy that we are to May! My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – It was a nice night (though a bit chilly once the sun went down) to enjoy some softball. The girls won two games and tied the third. Sewing – I should pretty much just say bye-bye to the 52 week […]
Not only a great quote from the books, but a great outlook on life! This top, along with the skirt, are basically what I like to sew. They have a bit of a steampunk flair to them, which is just so fun to wear. Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may […]
Our girl was doing a research project on elephant conservation, so I decided she needed an elephant shirt to wear during her presentation. It was a good little presentation, and she learned the awful things that happen to the poor elephants. She’s an animal lover for sure. Right now she is thinking of becoming a […]
In getting our new wood-looking vinyl floors, I decided to repaint the dining room. It previously was a nice deep blue you see here in this older photo: It was originally painted by the previous owners of the house, so it was pretty much the only room I had not painted before. That color, along […]
I’m trying to get caught back up. Seems like a never-ending battle of playing catch up lately! I know soon both kids are going to be super busy in summer sports, so I really need to focus more during working hours to make sure I don’t have to work later than I want to get […]
Well, it happened…I missed a week. Work has been kicking my arse lately, and I really didn’t sew much in the last few weeks. It was my first full week working from home, too, and I do quite like it. I did end up still working late pretty much everyday, but being able to shut […]
You were chosen to test a pattern, sewed up a muslin/final product, gave comments and now it is time for final photos. Or maybe you sew up strike-offs, samples, for fabric promotion. You know only the best ones get picked for the online gallery and promotion photos, plus you will be doing some spamming for […]
I never really know how the girl will go when it comes to dresses. Sometimes she loves them and sometimes she is more, “meh…”, and it goes to the back of her closet. I showed her this pattern, and she said she would wear it. I think the pockets sold her on it. Pockets are […]
This is a quick turnaround strike-off sample that I was selected to sew up from a seamstress call at Threaded Candy Customs. These stripes are supposed to go with a Halo gamer print, but these are also great for the summer-at-the-coast vibe. I decided to sew them up into a summer dress. I really, really […]
