I bought the Girl some jeans from Justice when they went on sale. I concede that making jeans is not my favorite thing to do, though I am getting a bit better at it. Finding decent bottom weights with lycra and fun colors is not the easiest, though. I was just fine with whipping out my […]

Like so many sewing mama’s I am making an Elsa costume. We went to Wizard Con (a comic con), so the kids needed a costume…of course! She wanted to go as Elsa. Big shocker right there. 😉 When looking at Elsa pictures, her dress went from a sky blue to an almost turquoise color. We ended […]

Skirt Fixation – Week 4 – Destash time
By Stacy on April 25, 2014Here we are at the last week! I actually have been destashing this entire time, as I have wayyyyy too much fabric on my shelves! It was bad before, but then the nearest fabric store to me decided to liquidate. Well…then…at 50-70% off it was hard NOT to buy more fabric. I was like one […]
I have been trying to make me some stretch denim capri jeggings. These are the first pair. I can’t get them on. Big time fail right here. On my next pair I added in some space. They ended up being a little too big, so I took some off at the inner seam. […]

Skirt Fixation – Week 3 – A “touch” of vintage
By Stacy on April 17, 2014Here we are at Week 3 and a touch of vintage! Well, I am not really a vintage dresser, so I had to think of what I wanted to make for this theme. In looking at the different silhouette’s, I do favor the pencil skirts and suit tops of the 40’s. I am not a […]

Signature style & Pinteresting Project – April
By Stacy on April 13, 2014This week for Project Run and Play, we are supposed to show our signature style. This has evolved for me over time as my kids have outgrown the dressy, special occasion clothes. If I were to make a lovely dress, it would sit in the closet unworn and unloved. 🙁 Right now my signature style […]
The Boy is a little addicted to the game Clash of Clans. It is on Brian’s phone, so he doesn’t get to play it too often. I guess you could say that hubby AND the Boy are playing the game. It is constantly playing, so when hubs is at work he checks on it and tells the Boy how the […]

Skirt Fixation – Week 2 – Refashion
By Stacy on April 9, 2014Well, here we are again! This week we are supposed to upcycle from a ready made garment. I wasn’t sure what I had and thought I would have to go to a thrift store to find something. That would have negated my intention to not buy ANYTHING for this contest, as I have way too […]
This week’s challenge for Project Run and Play is to design your own fabric. For me this is not such a stretch, as I have a Spoonflower shop of fabric I have designed from my scribbles. I think the current blog background I made would make a pretty fabric design, too. Here are a few […]

Skirt Fixation – Week 1 – Nature Inspired
By Stacy on April 1, 2014Well, hey there! Here we are kicking off Skirt Fixation’s Adult Create Week 1. The theme this week is nature inspired, so I finally, finally am sewing up this piece of fabric I got from a world traveler friend. She and her family are in the foreign services and were stationed in Mozambique at the […]
