Well, it was more sewing for Anya this week. This first one is a “sorta” tiered-maxi skirt for her out of fabric that I have had in my stash for quite awhile. I made a maternity skirt out of it, originally, and this skirt used up the rest of the fabric. It isn’t a stretchy material, […]

A twirly summer dress…another knockoff
By Stacy on February 20, 2012When I saw this dress in the CWD Kids magazine, I thought it would be a great summer dress for her. She even agreed! It is a mix of knit and woven, so I have a placket on the back. The neck binding is woven, and I figured that it needed extra give on the […]
I did end up getting a few more dresses sewn up, so I will post my other outfit that I made for Anya last week. No pictures of her in it, yet. I’m sure I will get some this summer, though. I bought some chiffon knit on fabric.com to sew up some cute little skirts […]
I actually did get some sewing in this week, amazingly enough. Of course, that meant that I did not work out much at all because I can’t sew in the evening AND work out. Non possible! Here are the fruits of my labor. These dresses are destined for an orphanage in Haiti. The Girl was […]
Due to an active weekend of activities, parties and traveling…I didn’t get a chance (or energy!) to get anything sewn. Currently, this is a work in process on my sewing table. I will have to rip it all apart or start over with new fabric as the zipper and sides aren’t meeting up right. I […]
I have been meaning to make myself a new laptop bag for work for so many months. My current bag does not fit my laptop because it is a large size (13″ wide). I also wanted the bag to fit some work for bringing home, if needed. I have needed it several years, but just […]
I saw a tutorial online for one of these and I wanted to make one for the entertaining room in the basement. I think the tutorial stuffed it with batting, but I really wanted to stuff it with the many, many fabric scraps that I have. It also gives it some durability, so an adult […]

Vacation sewing – clothes for me
By Stacy on December 29, 2011I got a chance to use some more of that fabric that has been sitting in my closet for a long time. For these first two tops I used a shirt I had bought as the pattern. This first one is using a sweater knit. It is a thinnish sweater, so it definitely needs something […]

Vacation Sewing – clothes for the little miss
By Stacy on December 27, 2011I spent the first few days of vacation last week working for a bit. That was fun. Not! Anyways, after getting a few things out the door for work, I was able to concentrate on the LOADS of sewing stuff I hadn’t been able to get to lately. First up was finishing the teacher gifts. […]
Nothing too exciting to show, but I thought I would prove that I have sewed a bit more things in the last few weeks. The Boy needed some new pants. He loves warm and cozy fleece pants (who doesn’t???), so I made him three pairs of fleece (he’s wearing the gray ones with his Halloween costume […]
