In the interest of cleaning up some old posts in my blog, I bring you a pattern test that got dropped this summer. It fit some of the ladies, but overall it was hard to get it right. It wasn’t the easiest pattern to make with all those gathers in knit materials. I wasn’t sure […]
Was it just me, or did 2017 just fly by like a bat out of hell? Our 2017 started out with our son puking all over the place, and it is ending with my Grandma Jo breaking her other arm and my girl needing knee surgery for a meniscus tear. Throw in several funerals, and […]
This week I was trying to focus more on my brown/natural colors that I have made. I was mostly successful in staying away from black. Mostly. Monday, December 18 Top – Brasov pattern in Carina Nebula by Zenith & Quasar Skirt – poly lycra, my own pattern Jewelry – JC Penny’s Shoes – Sketchers Tuesday, […]
Well, this week started out with my birthday, which when you get older…isn’t really all that exciting. There are no wild parties and you are happy you don’t have to cook for dinner. Generally, I buy myself something nice and say “Thanks for the present!” So…exciting. Here is the week of Me Mades, which included […]

Back in the summer I made my girl a dress that I thought would work for her choir concerts this year. Nope! The girl needed a black bottoms and white top for her choir concert, so back to the sewing machine I went. She said she wanted a “flowy” top and I got to choose […]
I love the fact that I am at a place in my sewing that I can have an idea and be able to draft patterns to what I want. This doesn’t always mean the execution is easy, though! This jacket was a huge pain the butt, and took most of a day, but I love […]
The girl is on a blue kick recently, so far be it from me to not buy tons of fabric in those colors! I had already purchased this Cascade Supplex from Zenith & Quasar when I volunteered to sew up this sample fabric for the current Fabric Anthropology round. They look pretty perfect together! The […]
I love it when a plan comes together! I have been drawn towards greens and love Lord of the Rings prints. Plus it kind of makes my hair look super bright! The cardigan here is made from Leaf Modal Spandex Jersey from Nature’s Fabrics. Disclosure: They sent me this fabric for free, but all opinions […]
