I used the following patterns: Black and silver stripe top – O & S Sailboat Top Metallic black and white shorts – O & S Sketchbook Short Fur Jacket – O & S Firefly […]

First of all, I was very happy that my friend, Rachel at Nest Full of Eggs, asked me to come along with her on this Stylo project. I love the fashion photography aspect of this little magazine, plus add in the fact that I get to sew up something a bit dressier than normally allowed..well, […]
Well, I can finally talk about being in the current issue of Stylo, since it has released today! Rachel of Nest Full of Eggs was asked to be in this issue, and she asked me to make a look and photograph our girls together for the issue. So…that was my backdoor way into the magazine. […]
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.

[…]

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 […]
