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. […]
I purchased this galaxy swim fabric last summer from Zenith & Quasar (no longer available) with good intentions to make my daughter a swimsuit with it. I didn’t end up getting to it, so I wanted to make sure I got one made in time. She said she is over two pieces where she is […]
So, I thought to myself, “I got this! I am going to use a pattern block I know fits and just modify it for this dress. No problem!” Guess what? Problem! I had to redo the neckline and armholes so many times on this. The neckline is still too high, though. Maybe on my next […]
These are some summer tops that I drafted/hacked from either patterns I made previously, or by using the Sneha by Wardrobe by Me. I used my style sheet that I put together from tops I found on Pinterest: Then, I went back and looked at more tops. Here is the first one. I modified a […]
I won’t lie and say this sporty skort is for exercising. It is so I can be comfy sitting in the hot sun. I might try to go for walks before games, since we usually need to arrive an hour before game time. That would be a good use of my time, actually. I always […]
I love how this all turned out! I am excited for the weather to get warmer and I can wear this new casual wardrobe this summer. I made: 4 shirts 4 skorts 1 dress I do have several RTW and previously sewed items that will work with this, as well. I will do a few […]
With the approach of summer, I decided to try my hand at converting a top I drafted last year (or was it the year before?) into an easy summer dress. I like this top, since it is loose around the waist, but not too loose. This is aided by the gathers just being along a […]
Luckily my kids’ school colors are some of my favorites. Red and Black. It seems to be pretty popular, since that is the school colors for A LOT of other teams in this area! I do like to wear the colors when going to cheer them on, so I decided to make a new outfit. […]
I was sent a few fabric samples to sew up for Zenith & Quasar fabrics, and this is one of the prints I chose. It is called Watercolor Coral, and it is printed on a heavy brushed poly base. It feels soooo nice! I don’t know what she will end up ordering but both bases […]
