I 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 […]
I 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 […]
My To-Do list is acquiring epic proportions. Thanks to Pinterest. Thanks also to my lack of getting anything done lately. Thankfully, I squirreled away some time across a few weekends to get a few things off my I-want-to-try-this list. Project #1 I had these tiles left over from tiling the kitchen a few years ago. […]
After thinking long and hard about what I wanted to do for the Christmas card this year, I finally figured out what I wanted to do. This, of course, meant I needed some articles of clothing to bring my vision to fruition. This was a dress that I hadn’t worn in a few years. I […]
Me: I made you some cartoon pants! They are pretty cool, huh? Anya: Mommy, that IS NOT a cartoon. Me: So sorry…COMIC book pants. Still cool. She wore them (even though they WERE NOT cartoon pants), albeit grudgingly. When she got home she asked me to make a comic book shirt to go with them. […]
I cut these up a good month ago, and finally got around to making them. He was excited for the “army pants”. He even had a shirt that already matched! I cut these pockets too low, so next time I will have to move them up. The other pants are denim and a stretch twill. […]
I didn’t get much sewing in this weekend, as I was pretty far behind on housework (i.e. Mount Laundry). I also had a photoshoot downtown on Sunday and had to edit pictures from a shoot the previous weekend. I have mostly decided to only take a few shoots on a year, and after those fill […]
This summer our friends adopted a little boy, and I was so happy to hear it. I took pictures of their blessing ceremony a few years ago, and I know they will make wonderful parents. As usual, I’m nothing if not timely in making presents. This only took me a few months to get around […]
This is the last of the full outfits for Anya. I may have more forthcoming, but I should sew something for Kailan and then maybe me. This first outfit is a flowerly camo knit with lycra. The green is just a regular cotton knit. The place where I buy fabric has a bit limited lycra selection. […]
