No modeling of these! Generally, there are things I tend to buy. Jeans, outerwear and underwear being in that group. It seems a waste of time to make underwear, since they are so cheap. Of course, if you like a certain overpriced brand in a version they no longer carry…then you might be inclined to […]

Reds and blacks
By Stacy on November 18, 2016
I finally got pictures of this top that I made in late summer. I have shared a picture of the skirt before, but here is a better shot of it. The shirt is my drape top pattern out of Modern Jersey in my own fabric design. I really like this design, and even put it […]

Plaid cape top and gored skirt
By Stacy on November 15, 2016
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 […]

Pattern hack – Cowl/hood top
By Stacy on October 24, 2016
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 […]

Lion damask
By Stacy on September 29, 2016
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 […]

Draped front top
By Stacy on July 26, 2016
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 […]

Another slouchy handbag
By Stacy on July 20, 2016
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 […]

Wardrobe staple – white top with a flounce
By Stacy on June 21, 2016
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 […]
