If you have followed my sewing much, you will know that I tend to draft a lot of the patterns that I sew. I love being able to sketch something out, and then turn it into a piece of clothing. Drafting patterns is not rocket science, but experience in sewing does really help. The basics […]

What…is Halloween months away or something?? Yes, I know, but with pre-orders they need to get them ordered by the end of July so they come in on time. This is a pre-order from RP Custom Fabrics and the round is called HalloMas. She has the two holidays combined so she can make sure the […]
I love this fabric that I purchased from Zenith and Quasar last year, and finally got it sewed up for me. This is the star stuff panel and Carina Nebula fabric from her space round last year. I sewed up some samples for that round, but also purchased a bunch for myself. I love how […]
This was supposed to be an entry for the 52 week sewing challenge last week, but I ran out of steam and did not get the pictures uploaded. Oh well…add it to the many weeks I missed! This top is made from a fabric pattern I drafted and then printed on Modern Jersey from Spoonflower. […]

This is my second year participating in the Sew Americana Blog tour by Wild & Wanderful, and it is a fun mid-summer prompt to get something sewn up for the 4th of July. I was hoping that I would have more time to sew and get something made, but my free time has really been […]
I am sad to say that I actually bought the girl some clothes for summer. I have been really good the last several years, and have made most of her clothes. Something had to give, though. Time has not been plentiful of late to get things sewn up for her. I did get a […]
