Yesterday I clicked over to Indie Tutes and found that I won a drawing for her first pattern-zine. Yay me! Take a wander around her blog and store. She is a great seamstress and shares freely with her tutorials on all aspects of sewing for little ones. I found her site on Craftster, which is a […]

I made these a few weekends ago for me. I didn’t make anything last weekend, because I was very busy doing something I hadn’t planned or wanted to do. I have a post about that lovely experience set up for Friday. Curious? 😉 This is pink froofrooness, and that is a non-word. It describes this […]
Last week I had a few days off on vacation since my office was being recarpeted. I needed to vacate the premises, so what better reason to take some time off? I made my annual trek up to a fabric outlet in the northern suburbs about 20 some miles away. The mileage isn’t so far, […]
So what do you think? Would you choose these colors for a baby girl blanket? It is again the ultra soft cuddly fabric. You just want to curl up with it and go sleep…even though it is 90 degrees outside and incredibly humid. This is their first girl and first child, so I figured they […]
Just in time for the 4th I got these outfits completed. I only had the fabric since about March. This year I am the queen of squeaking by. Wait…maybe not. I’ve been woefully behind on birthday presents/cards, my scrapbooking is seriously getting behind and I can’t seem to find time to work out. Which, my […]
This is dress #3 for my friend’s daughter…I’m pretty sure it will fit this time. In fact it may actually be a bit big for her, and that is a good thing. At least she could grow into it! I did the same as last week, but also added some little satin roses at the […]
You would think that after such a nice vacation I would be well rested and ready to tackle this list. Well, I did make a little headway, but not much since I added new things to the list. First off, I made this purse the Thursday night before our trip, since I needed a bigger […]
Last weekend I went on a sewing binge and did some fun sewing. Toile Froo Froo I thought I would use a shortcut and take a major brand pattern company’s bodice pattern for sizing and use that to make this dress. Big mistake. It was way too big. I will have to rip apart the […]
Pinafores are retro, aren’t they? They seem to be timeless, though, as I’ve seen old and new patterns for this very simple little smock. It is all one one piece and lined. It simply buttons at the shoulders so it is easy to get on and off a little one. The bloomers are made of the […]
Well, this dress was supposed to be for a co-worker’s daughter. I tried to redraft a pattern for a larger size, but it still ended up a bit too small. After I finished it, I put it on Anya to check the size and dang if it didn’t fit her. It is supposed to be […]
