One of the reasons I love Zenith & Quasar fabrics is that she creates fabric with some great images of the world (and galaxy!) around us. This print is created using inspiration from a blue agate. The current round open for pre-order is called the Nature round, and is full of rocks, woods and things […]
I have been meaning to make a cute little denim dress for my girl for some time now. This fabric was purchased a good year ago, and is a lightweight denim woven fabric. As with most things these days, I needed an impetus to spur me into action in getting it done. This year’s family […]
As the Girl’s gym teacher learned when he was trying to talk her into joining the track team. He was pushing hard, too. “Uh, yeah, no…running isn’t really my thing.” You can, though, still look cute in them. These are the Rumba Joggers from Rogue Patterns, set to release tomorrow. They come in a huge […]
It was hard to cut into my Carina Nebula brushed poly from Zenith & Quasar fabrics, but I knew that the pattern would fit well. Brasov from Itch to Stitch This is the new Brasov top from Itch to Stitch, and I tested it. This was my first test top, and I didn’t really need […]
This is one of those pieces that will get worn all the time. It is fitted at the hips and skims down to flare out above the knee. This is a nice length for this area, since I can wear it in the winter with tights underneath and boots. It will still show my boots, […]
Is that a good name for it? Not sure what to call this style. Okay, what we have here is a tutorial for a pattern hack to get this style of top: Instructions to hack a pattern In order to do this hack, you need a basic long sleeve t-shirt top pattern that fits. I […]
I have been wanting to make this cardigan for quite awhile. It wasn’t the color I would choose, but I loved the flounces. This would have to be flounces and not ruffles, as the gathering would make it horrendous to sew the seams. My plan of attack was to use the WBM basic t-shirt and […]
One of the things I like about sewing up strike-offs of fabrics is that it forces me to be more creative. The other seamstresses are good at what they do, so just making a plain top or something isn’t trying hard enough. I want to make something awesome with the strikes! Awesome it is. She’s […]
Go Pack Go! Sara at RP Custom Fabrics has a new pre-order up with tartan plaids in team colors. How awesome is that?? I love this idea and had to make up a top for me in the Green, Gold and White Tartan. I didn’t have any matching green, so I went to the closet […]
A few groups have rounds opening this week, so I was super busy again making clothes for my little fashionista. I decided to focus on fall items, since we will be winding up summer here pretty soon. This fabric is from the Horror/Plaid round at RP Custom fabrics and will start running on August 20. […]
