Ah yes…yet another Spring Break where we are NOT going someplace warm. That is the sucky part of being an accountant this time of year. I am still working on getting tax returns out to people and it is quarter-end. Fun times, fun times. In honor of warmth that we will receive in about 2 […]

This is the first week of sewing along with Project Run and Play, and the theme this week is zoo-inspired. I had a few zebra things in the stash, so this was a pretty easy one to do for me. I found a super cute zebra design in the Silhouette store, had some zebra minky and […]
Well, I have been sewing, but we have also been a bit busy over here. The Boy had his 4th grade performance, whereby we all got to listen to the wildly entertaining, and often off-key, recorders. Then we saw something more musically thrilling: Imagine Dragons! That was a fun concert, though it was on a school […]
More stuff for the Girl! This was a pretty simple little outfit and a transition piece. The lace-like fabric on the arms will be good when it starts warming up a little bit. She was not happy with it when she wore it this day, though. It was a bit chilly. Negative degrees in MARCH. […]
The Girl is just a little bit obsessed with The Warriors book series. It takes her a week or two to read each book, and she is about done with the first series of 6 books. We have bought her the next series of 5 books. She is in 3rd grade and reads at a 4th […]
So, yeah…not quite sure what to call this thing. I have a similar style shirt in a knit that I purchased. It is black and knit and is a great layering piece. I copied the lines of that shirt, with some additions after seeing this CAbi shirt-jacket: It really is a nice piece. It is […]
I finally got up the nerve to sew up a proper lined blazer. They are a lot of work these things. I had to tell myself to take my time and not rush through it, since I like to sit down and get through a project start to finish in one sitting. That didn’t happen […]
The newest trend in fashion seems to be putting leather on just about everything. I like. I have bought some leather pieces, and one of them is this Perfection Fused Leather. You buy it by the yard, and not by the hide, so it is obviously some sort of man-made creation. It is thin like […]
I am currently playing stash game at SewingMamas.com, which is to try to get us to sew up some of our stash and NOT buy more fabric. Mildly successful with that one. I have really nowhere to wear this satin dress, but it is pretty. I have made plenty of dresses for Anya that she […]

Pinteresting project – February
By Stacy on February 10, 2014I finally got my version of this skirt done. This is a skirt that is listed on Etsy. I checked it out and wasn’t a huge fan on how she placed the ruffles on her skirt, plus the edges look like they were just serged and not hemmed. This is my version: The skirt […]
