When I saw this blue and white fabric in the store, I grabbed it post haste. It is beautiful, had a great hand and a nice stretch to it. It feels like cotton, but it is a bit thicker and has lycra in it. After procuring a few yards of it, I went in search […]

Fall Colors
By Stacy on October 6, 2014Today I am guest posting over at Oliver & S for another tweenified version of their patterns: the Hide and Seek Tunic and Playtime Leggings. (Yep, they gave me these patterns again. As you know, I tend to draft my own, so I don’t buy patterns anymore for the most part. All opinions on these […]

Grey days
By Stacy on September 29, 2014We are heading into the lovely grey days of Autumn, where it tends to rain a bit and then snow a bit. Not looking forward to either, especially after the beautiful weekend we had. I took these shots right before it started to rain, and the skies were getting a bit grey. Definitely a Monday morning. […]

Tween all the way
By Stacy on September 22, 2014Today I am guest posting over on the Oliver & S blog, showing how to tween-ify some of their patterns that go up to a size 12. The patterns I chose were actually two boy patterns that I made for the Girl. I think the main difference between boy and girl patterns are the fact […]

Pinteresting Project – August
By Stacy on September 9, 2014Hey, back to Pinterest! I know it is no longer August, but I made this in August. I just didn’t get any pictures taken of it. This is my take on this Desingual skirt I found and pinned. I did the yoke and pockets, but pretty much everything else is a bit different from the […]
So LAST YEAR at the Sewing Mama’s retreat I made this shirt. It was the first thing I made, and I loved how it turned out. I got home and the Little Miss tried it on. Too tight in the sleeves. *sigh* I thought that I had put it downstairs on my sewing table. When […]
One of the things that I wanted to get done at the sewing retreat were some cargo shorts for the Boy. They are time consuming to do, with all the pockets and topstitching, so I figured getting some dedicated sewing time would be good! I got two pairs of shorts completed for him. This pattern […]
This shirt is one that I sewed up at the retreat. I copied it off a RTW shirt that I had in my closet that was getting faded and had some holes in the front. I had it all cut out ahead of time, so I just had to sew it up when I got […]
I had a great time at the Sewing Mamas retreat this past weekend. Bonus: it was pretty close to me, whereas most everyone else had to drive far or fly in for it. We went shopping at SR Harris, and I spent too much money on fabric…again. Then we sewed and gabbed and ate things that […]
Last Thursday I had a minor surgery, so I was trying to take it easy over the weekend. I was a bit tired out from the surgery and was not supposed to lift anything heavy. I did get a chance to finally get some sewing off my table, though. Standing at my cutting table […]
