Nothing like a long-awaited fabric delivery to de-rail your sewing plans! I’m a big fan of The Lord of the Rings (even read that massive tome…and The Hobbit, too), so when a pre-order came up for different LOTR fabrics I pounced on it. After waiting the required several months for the order to close and […]
Since January flew by in a blink of an eye, I am going to write down what I plan on making for this month. #1 – Purse #2 for the charity auction. It is cut out and in process. DONE #2 – Possibly a new hip purse for when I am working at the charity […]
Here is the first bag for the benefit auction in a few weeks. This is my bag pattern that I have been using to make most of my purses. I should maybe make a tutorial or something on it, huh? This one is made of the following: Green pigskin leather Gold lambskin leather Green Bay […]
This week we are going to a funeral of someone that I grew up with as a part of my life. Her kids asked me to do the eulogy, so I am a bit stressed about that. I don’t enjoy public speaking, though I can generally do a good job at it. Just don’t look […]
We are at a point in our familial gift giving, that many just want to exchange for the kids and not do anything else. We are getting some gifting back, but for the most part the adults are not interested. I miss it. I do have a cousin in California that always sends something nice […]

I finally got pictures of this top that I made in late summer. I have shared a picture of the skirt before, but here is a better shot of it. The shirt is my drape top pattern out of Modern Jersey in my own fabric design. I really like this design, and even put it […]
This is a guest post I did for Crafting Con. Bringing it home for Halloween! ***** Hello! I am Stacy and I blog at Stylin’ Stacy. The costumes I tend to make these days are centered around cosplay characters. They serve dual purposes as my kids wear them to a convention in the spring and […]
I like to look at CAbi for inspiration on new pieces to make. I like the details, in general, and they tend to have nice finishes. I have a friend that invites me to her parties, and I usually end up buying a few pieces that fit into my wardrobe. This casual top caught my […]
This jacket was a pattern test that was dropped in the spring. My pictures are from the spring, so I decided to finally post this since fall is upon us. As much as she has grown, I doubt it fits her now! The pattern may come out sometime, but I decided to pull myself from […]
