This was a pattern test for a summer tank top for Orange Daisy Patterns. I liked the coverage, and the fact that she can actually wear this to school. It seems like a lot of summer tops are not geared towards school aged kids and schools clothing standards. Strappy tops and open backs are usually […]
Here is the next print in the Fun Round pre-order at RP Custom Fabrics. This is the round with the signs of the zodiac. I have to admit, I do not have much knowledge in this area. I know my sign, and occassionally read a horoscope, but that is pretty much it. I found these […]
Yes, indeed. I do have more fabric from the Fun Rounds! Arcoiris at RP Custom Fabrics This is the color wheel print, and I decided to make a skort and top with a flounce for the girl. This were really easy to cut with the circular lines in the prints. I used two 25″ rounds […]
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 […]

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 […]
This was kind of fun to sew up! The constellation fabric for the skirt is on pre-order at RP Custom Fabrics. This sample is the 58″ round on bamboo lycra. She has a few other round panels, and they come in various sizes. The girl claimed it when she saw it, so I had to […]
Of course, that does not preclude me from volunteering to sew up samples. I currently have several strike-offs sitting on my sewing table that need to be sewn up. One is finished, but I do not have an available model. She has softball just about every night this week, so tomorrow I will have to […]
