Here is a Pinterest pattern hack coming for you. This pin is pretty popular. It is a short-sleeved top with a “cape” over it. If you are on Pinterest, I am sure you have seen it. I know it comes up in my feed all the time. I wanted to make this as part of […]
This is a guest post I did for Crafting Con. Bringing it home for Halloween! ***** Hello! I am Stacy and I blog at Stylin’ Stacy. The costumes I tend to make these days are centered around cosplay characters. They serve dual purposes as my kids wear them to a convention in the spring and […]
I like to look at CAbi for inspiration on new pieces to make. I like the details, in general, and they tend to have nice finishes. I have a friend that invites me to her parties, and I usually end up buying a few pieces that fit into my wardrobe. This casual top caught my […]
This fabric design was one of the first designs I put together, and I still really love how it turned out. I think one of the designs looks like a lion. Do you see it? I printed this on the cotton lycra at Spoonflower, and it didn’t print out a true black. You can see […]
Years ago I bought a jersey t-shirt at a fast fashion store, and it turns out that I loved the fit of it. It was too casual to wear to work, but I wanted to make a pattern from it so I could make some shirts to wear for my business casual office. They turned […]
One of the neighborhood “moms” that I grew up with was looking at my handbags I made recently, and was admiring them. She is going through some tough times right now, as she has been dealing with a rare skin cancer. At this point she is hoping for 4 years. I wanted to make her […]
I made the first one of these last summer, and really love the ease of it. It is a nice size, and matches everything. I needed one that was more cream, so when I saw this leather in the scrap leather bin at the fabric warehouse, I scooped it up. It was a good size […]
I was supposed to be working on a casual wardrobe, and this ended up not being so casual. It is more of a dressy top to wear to work in the summer, but that is okay. I needed this! It fits a little tight, since it is a rayon with lycra, so not as much […]
Here is the outfit that I posted over on Craftingcon.com for their wearable Steampunk challenge. I thought I had already put it up over here, but guess not! I ended up using some pieces that I had previously made this year, along with some new multi-purpose pieces. The first piece in her outfit is a […]
I started writing this post in July. Yep, last July. Just a little behind. 😉 I worked on drafting these pants, and went through three different versions. Some were drafting fails, though still wearable. Stuff happens. *shrug* These pants were a drafting work-in-process. The first brown pair…the side seams were off kilter. Totally my fault […]
