Alrighty folks…here is the tutorial. I have a mixture of photos between two different skirts, but hopefully it isn’t too confusing. If you can, make the cute little treasure pouch. It is just too adorable, and very handy for little treasures and bits and bobs and Polly Pocket shoes they pick up along the way. This […]
For Crafty Tuesday, I only have one thing to share this week. I didn’t actually sew this past weekend, though. I was busy dreaming away on what I need to do for the kitchen. Anya and I took a walk around Home Depot and she proclaimed it was her “Favorite Store!” since she got some […]
Well, I was feeling a bit left out, so I decided to make some clothes for myself. I haven’t shopped for me in quite awhile since I’ve gotten a little “fluffy” and don’t really want to buy a size up. Instead I decided to make some tops from shirts I already own and like the fit, and […]
Most sewing mavens start out small. I remember when I was younger, I would buy fabric and actually have a plan for what to make with it. I would buy the actual yardage needed and only have a few scraps left over. Ah, the good old days of sensible purchases! I stopped sewing after college, since I […]
I don’t think this dress could be any more twirly. The bottom 2 layers has about 30 feet of fabric each. Seriously. This dress was mostly my own design. I used a pattern piece as the base for the top, but then adjusted it for what I wanted. I had to expand the back so […]
Some stuff I’ve done lately…or in the past few months or so. Sometimes it takes me awhile to get pictures. A skirt for Anya for Christmas…she wanted a twirly skirt, so I whipped on up the night before one of the family parties. Finally got to use those tights I bought on sale at Hanna Anderson […]
Here are some bags I made over my vacation. I wasn’t taking the best care in taking pictures (lazy me!), but you can get the gist of them. They are upholstery weight fabric, and the handbags have silk for the pockets. It is the same style of bag I usually make and they have pockets […]
This is my first attempt at making some doll clothes. As I wrote previously, I wanted to get Anya a Fancy Nancy doll for Christmas, but the extra doll clothes were a bit too expensive. I bought the dolly, took her out of the excessive packaging and measured her all up. I sat down at the […]
I have no new creations to share this week. The days just went by so fast, and I didn’t get photos of creations I have finished in the past month or so. There are two or three of Anya’s outfits that I need to photograph. They will be well broken-in by the time I get […]
Here is Anya’s Holiday outfit. She will be wearing it much, and it should hopefully fit her next year, too. It was made from three different colors of duiponi silk that I bought on sale at 50%/60% off. Yay! Silks vary in their degree of fraying. The blue one was really bad in the fraying department […]
