I love the fact that I am at a place in my sewing that I can have an idea and be able to draft patterns to what I want. This doesn’t always mean the execution is easy, though! This jacket was a huge pain the butt, and took most of a day, but I love […]
I love it when a plan comes together! I have been drawn towards greens and love Lord of the Rings prints. Plus it kind of makes my hair look super bright! The cardigan here is made from Leaf Modal Spandex Jersey from Nature’s Fabrics. Disclosure: They sent me this fabric for free, but all opinions […]
In early 2017 I had made a black purse that I loved. After going back home for a benefit (whereby I made two other purses for it) I was offered some moola for my black purse. I knew she really wanted it and would ask me again for it, so I sold it to her. […]
I’m pretty sure this photo explains the little bit of sass… This is a pretty cute little panel that is up at Rockerbye on pre-order. This round is full of horses, llamas, some jungle creatures and cute coordinates. The pre-order starts today at Rockerbye. The size of the panel here is a child’s panel, […]
I ordered this bamboo jersey fabric from Nature’s Fabric, and expected it to be more of a true red. It is a bit of a rusty red (more rusty than I could get the color to show here), so it wasn’t going to work for what I initially intended. Instead, I though I would make […]
The girl has been reading the Sarah Maas series where the lead character is basically an assassin, though she becomes a leader. (I think…she tends to get wordy and unfocused when she explains it all). This year she wanted to be an assassin in going to the Renaissance Festival and for Halloween. That works fine […]
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 […]
