I got some more sewing done for our little guy this weekend DESPITE having a head cold. He now is the proud owner of two more pairs of pants, so hopefully he will be set for a little while. A few weeks worth, I would wager. He’s got a few pants that he is just […]

Well, finally! I had Sunday set aside as a day I wanted to work on some sewing projects. Of course, it was nice out, and I was sewing away in the COLD basement. Gah! I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, but I was still relatively successful in cranking out some […]

Stylin’ little man
By Stacy on September 21, 2010Sewing for boys is difficult. It isn’t difficult in the way of execution. Pants and t-shirts are pretty much their garb, and that isn’t all that difficult to sew. It is difficult in creating something with a little extra design goodness that doesn’t go over the top. I’m not very good at subtle. When I was […]
Yes, today I am showing some clothes for Fall. Even though Kailan probably needs more shorts, he is just S.O.L. Perhaps if he didn’t change in and out them like a teenage girl, he would have more available clothing. Therin lies the trouble…it is his own fault. 😉 Last Fall I cut out a bunch […]

Charity basket of baby boy goodness
By Stacy on July 13, 2010I got the basket finished up in time to give it to my Mom and Dad so they could pass it through to the silent auction folks. This is going to benefit a mom of my friend’s girlfriend/ex-wife/mother of his 2 kids. Complicated. She was diagnosed with an agressive bone cancer and they are in […]
About a year and a half ago I made this red shirt, but unfortunately I can’t find the “before” picture. I was going for a “blousey-hide-my-belly feel” for the shirt and ended up making a mumu. I wore it once, I think. Now that I no longer feel the need to hide my belly (though […]
Time to make some baby stuff for the little babe that the purple knit hat was destined for. The baby shower was on Saturday, and she got lots of fun stuff. It’s always so fun to see all the cute stuff that people pick out for the baby showers. She got a nice wide range of […]

New shirts for me and the boy
By Stacy on June 22, 2010I went shopping, which I thought would be mostly window shopping, but I ended up purchasing some skinny jeans and a knit shirt. The shirt fit well, but after a bit of soul searching and price tag gazing, I decided to take it back. I mean…I can make that for much, much, much less. *sigh* […]
[child error] is the excuse of so many mishaps in the house, isn’t it? In our three season porch we have a “wicker” couch and chair set that we bought at The Home Depot. It is wicker looking (i.e. a woven plastic of some sort) and the cushions were a nice plain utilitarian beige. Unfortunately, when […]
One day Anya came with me to the fabric store, whereupon she demanded wanted another dress be made for her highness. Being the complicet and compliant mommy that loves to make pretty dresses, I agreed. She picked out pink tulle, and I asked her if perhaps she would like another color. There were blues and […]
