The softball season closed out for the girls with a Nationals tournament. These tournaments are more like a regional tournament, where some do come from states away. Fortunately for us, it was just a half hour away. During their first game of pool play, the teams exchange gifts. I made a few things for the […]

Leather tassels on purses can be a great accent. They can go on the zipper, or just hang off the handle. I also use these for my keys. I tend to have large purses, and it is much easier to find my keys when it is attached to a bit of fringe. This is how […]

Beautiful Sunset
By Stacy on July 19, 2017
This print is part of the RP Custom Fabrics – Fun Rounds pre-order. The image is of a sunset skyline in a circular format. Really pretty! (click on picture to go to the pre-order for it) I received a few of the smaller round panels, and two that were the same size. I think they […]
I knew June was going to be hard to get into the sewing room, and I was correct. When I did have day or a night that I could work, I was just too tired. The only things I got done were ones with deadlines! My list for July is going to be trying to […]
Today is day 4 of the Sew Americana tour, and I am sharing an outfit with a baseball theme. What is more Americana than baseball? In the past I used to make my kids 4th of July outfits when my parents had a big 4th of July party. Now, we are lucky if we do […]

Another gamer shirt
By Stacy on June 1, 2017
When I saw that Sugar Ink Fabric was planning a Skyrim/Elder Scrolls round, I knew at least two of my peoples would be interested in this fabric. I was correct! The owner, Christie, asked for strike off seamstresses, and I happily volunteered. Pre-order for Skyrim Upon receiving the panel, the design looked a little long. […]
I like a good theme-centric project to get my wheels turning. This one was related to the intended fabric, which was inspired by the 1996 movie, The Craft. The plotline was centered around a group of girls that aspired to be witches, and luckily it was actually on Netflix so I could reacquaint myself with […]
Here we are at week #3, and my pictures from last week. I have a hard time getting pictures during the weekends. This weekend was super, super busy, too, so it just didn’t happen for the most part. Day #8 Draped shirt – not blogged Animal print skirt – can’t find the blogpost – I […]
