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 […]
Well, I didn’t get them out in the mail last week, but they are on their way now. Here are the gifts that I made, which were done about a week ago. I didn’t get time to do anything last weekend after taking Kailan to Nemo and working 6 HOURS on Sunday. Man, I need […]
I will wait until next week to post the PIF items I finally completed (Hear that girls?? They are actually done!). Hopefully I will get them in the mail at some point this week, and I really liked how they both turned out. As for my other PIF gift…look how cute Baby Beebo is in […]
I am having lots of fun sewing these past few weeks. The ideas are just flowing and even though some items won’t be worn until it gets much warmer, I feel a bit ahead of the game. Last week I made Anya 3 dresses, a swing top that will match capris I made her last summer […]
Well, I may not have worked out at all last week, but I sewed! That has to count for something right?? The first dress is a long delinquent gift for some friends. They had a baby girl in DECEMBER (really, we didn’t find out about it until mid-January, so I’m not THAT late), and since […]
As I said yesterday, I was a horrible, horrible guest and forgot a hostess gift. In order to rectify my rudeness, I came home and made an apron for her straight away. Since she was wearing an apron while cooking, I figured she may like it. I surely hope so. This is the first apron […]
I haven’t had a chance to do much this past week, since work has been so busy. I was planning to do some sewing on Saturday, but then I actually picked up a book and got immersed in that. It’s an old favorite that I have read probably 3 other times. I don’t know if […]
Julie over at The Rest is History had a PIF exchange that I thought I would participate in. The rules are: If you’d like to take part, be one of the first three to comment mentioning that you’re signing up for the PIF exchange. You’ll have to agree to this pledge: I, [insert your name here] […]
