Today is day 4 of the Sew Americana tour, and I am sharing an outfit with a baseball theme. What is more Americana than baseball? In the past I used to make my kids 4th of July outfits when my parents had a big 4th of July party. Now, we are lucky if we do […]
This is kind of the perfect fabric for school-age kiddos. This is a pre-order up at The Fabric Cottage with numbers and letters is various colorways. I was a bit late to choose a sample to sew up, so I ended up getting the numbers in white and black. I probably would have chosen the […]
This was kind of fun to sew up! The constellation fabric for the skirt is on pre-order at RP Custom Fabrics. This sample is the 58″ round on bamboo lycra. She has a few other round panels, and they come in various sizes. The girl claimed it when she saw it, so I had to […]
When RP Custom Fabrics offered up these strike-offs for sewing up, I knew my time would be at a premium. Unfortunately, this past week and upcoming week, we are in the thick of games and tournaments. My poor kiddos are tired, tired, tired, but luckily school is almost out for them. It is hard to […]
I like a good theme-centric project to get my wheels turning. This one was related to the intended fabric, which was inspired by the 1996 movie, The Craft. The plotline was centered around a group of girls that aspired to be witches, and luckily it was actually on Netflix so I could reacquaint myself with […]
I generally try to sew something up for the girl for her birthday, since it is a special day. Having my birthday 2 weeks before Christmas makes you appreciate people actually remembering that you have a birthday. 😉 This was a last minute, start at 10:30pm and finish at 1 am, outfit. The fabric is […]
A few years ago I sewed up my girl an outfit inspired by Kira from The Dark Crystal. She still wears it, too, and wants more like it. Naturally, when Moonbeam Textiles created an 80’s movie inspired round including The Dark Crystal, and this order came up to sew up the samples, I jumped on […]
Oh, Zenith & Quasar Fabric, how much do I love thee? It’s not just because Lilly gives me free fabric, though that is kind of cool. It is because her panels look like this: You can actually make a matching back to your shirt out of her panels! It is a whole yard (for adult […]
I have joined another seamstress team for sewing up samples of custom fabric prints to advertise for their new rounds. These are from The Fabric Cottage, and this round includes Disney Villains. She sent me a 1/4 yard of the coordinate and an adult panel of Maleficent. I didn’t think that the coordinate went as […]
While I was waiting for the pre-order to come in for Sports Stitches at RP Custom Fabrics, this strike off sample came up on a charity auction. I just couldn’t wait, so jumped on the chance to buy it. That was at least a month ago, and I just didn’t have time to tackle it. […]
