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 […]

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 […]

My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – This week Valentine’s Day landed on Ash Wednesday, when us Catholics are supposed to fast. So…the kids got some pre-Valentine’s Day, aka “Fat Tuesday”, treats. Sewing – My 52 week sewing challenge for the week was to sew something with hearts. It didn’t get done, and no #makenine […]
So who’s a Vikings fan?? Apparently…we are! Fabric Anthropology is running a Vikings round, and it has some very cool prints. There are a few panels with just phrases, and then panels with some of the characters on it. The coordinates include the battle print below, a print with ships (another blog post will be […]
My accomplishments this week Last week was basically the reason I need this challenge and process to go through each week. Last week was completely UN-focused.
