Hey, look…I sewed! This little blanket is for Brian’s cousin’s little boy. I hope he will grow to like hunting. It is bound to happen with how avid his daddy is about it. Camo minky, plaid flannel and cream store bought satin bias binding Then I also got a skirt sewed up for me. One of my regular-no-thinking-about-it […]
I didn’t get much done on the sewing front this past week. I worked out every day last week, so that was my excuse. I did get a project done that had been waiting for a year. I spray-painted some picture frames and put my wall of pictures back up after taking them down when […]
When I was in college I bought a pretty little cheap suit at TJ Maxx. I got rid of it at one point, but I still miss it. It had a jacket with a flounce all the way around and a pencil skirt. I would certainly wear the jacket now, but the skirt probably didn’t […]
My next inspiration dress comes from Chasing Fireflies. They have tons of pretty girly dresses. This dress was done in denim and retails for $238 (ouch!). Very pretty with lots of detailing, so I can understand why it is spendy. (click on picture to go to website) I wanted to do a similar dress, though […]
A few girly things… Birthday gift for one of Anya’s girlfriends I really wasn’t going to make a gift for this party. I was busy and stressed and really didn’t want to have to sew a dress. Then I thought the little girl would feel bad if I didn’t make her one when I’ve made […]
More sewing for your’s truly. I think part of the joy I get out of sewing is making patterns and sewing things that fit me. This tends to backfire occassionally when I spend hours making something for myself and then it doesn’t fit. Very frustrating! Here are a couple of tank tops that I traced […]
I don’t think I have made six birthday dresses for her, but it was her 6th birthday. I didn’t start sewing for her until she was a little over a year, and I think her 2nd birthday was the first time I made anything special for her to wear on her special day. She was pretty […]
S.W.A.P. = sewing with a plan for those not into the online sewing terminology. Basically, you try to sew a coordinating group of items. I tried to make some coordinating outfits for our trip to Vegas so I didn’t need to buy anything. Ha! Like that worked! I did use some of the items I […]
I decided I need a new purse for the trip, so I did a new fabric design. I wanted it to fit my camera, a wristlet and some books for the flight and for carrying around. First I figured out the dimension that I wanted the purse to be, and then I designed the fabric and […]
Right? It’s getting there. Sloooowwwwwly but surely we will have some warmth. In about 2 months. I cut out these shorts late last summer, but never got around to making them. They are from a Built by Wendy pattern. The back flaps in the pattern are not real pockets, so I changed it by adding real […]
