I wanted an excuse to use some football grosgrain ribbon that I purchased, so I made the little man a football outfit. I know…football is over. Did I ever tell you that I was good at procrastination? Well, mainly it was just lack of inspiration. I am highly inspired to stencil lately. Thus, loads of […]

By Stacy on February 17, 2011Two sewing posts in one week! I am working on getting a bunch of stuff done right now. My sewing room is a mess, but I am having fun working on projects. I thought I would share these that I got done so far this week. I have two more shirts stenciled for him that […]
I had to do some teacher crafting for Valentine’s Day. I doubt very much that they would want a packet of Fun Dip like the rest of the kids. Yes, I was lazy with the children’s Valentines, per the usual. This is a nice small gift for the teachers and the one teaching assistant. I […]
I felt like doing some more freezer paper stencils, so last Saturday I sat down and drew out some designs. This first design is for me. Michaels had a sale on their adult t-shirts, so I bought a few of them. Unfortunately, they are a bit tight. This is a medium and it fits more […]
I finally got a chance to sew on Sunday. Saturday was another busy, busy day, in which we bought a new table. The Thomasville store near us was closing, so we got a great deal on a new kitchen table from there. “Great” being all relative when talking about their prices. 😉 It was probably […]
They don’t friggin’ fit me all that well. I spent…oh, a good 4-6 hours making this pretty vest. I even made a muslin to make sure it would fit me well enough. The muslin was too big, so I took in the seams. It ended up too small in the bosom area. The *girls* are […]
This year I had some time to actually get some gifts done. The kids were in school the Monday through Wednesday before Christmas, and I had that time off for vacation. I got some things made for teachers and some things made for them. Lots of things. Aprons for the teachers – which seemed to […]
During the Thanksgiving holiday I didn’t get chance to get much done at all. Why? Well, I was busy. I took Wednesday off, and we decorated the house for Christmas, as usual. The tree is up and not too many ornaments were broken. I wanted to have a place to put the cards this year, […]
Here I am again…not getting anything off my to-do list. Today Anya is going to a birthday party of another little girlfriend at school. She wanted me to make another dress and again picked out the main fabric for it. I really like how this one turned out. It is a faux cross over top, that […]
Anya was invited to a birthday party last Friday and I decided to make the little girl a dress. As a general rule, I do not do this. I just don’t know how it will be received and if it will fit and if the parent will think, “ewwww…homemade clothes are so 1950’s!” Anya picked […]
