This is a quick turnaround strike-off sample that I was selected to sew up from a seamstress call at Threaded Candy Customs. These stripes are supposed to go with a Halo gamer print, but these are also great for the summer-at-the-coast vibe. I decided to sew them up into a summer dress. I really, really […]

Here is the second set of prints that I sewed up the samples for Fabric Anthropology. This one relates to Helga in the Vikings series, and is a phrase she said in show. These fabrics are French Terry. A note about printing colors. The brushed poly is a synthetic, and the colors are closer the […]
So who’s a Vikings fan?? Apparently…we are! Fabric Anthropology is running a Vikings round, and it has some very cool prints. There are a few panels with just phrases, and then panels with some of the characters on it. The coordinates include the battle print below, a print with ships (another blog post will be […]
One of the reasons why I never think I can go on a RTW buying fast is that it is cold here, and you need sweaters. I don’t knit sweaters. I can do a little loom knitting, but that is the extent of my prowess with yarn. Luckily, you can find sweater knits! This is […]
I got another of my #makenine challenges completed, and it was this skirt that I have been coveting for several years on Pinterest. I wanted to wear it to work, so that length wasn’t quite going to work for me. I made it longer, but I think I may take the waist off and shave […]
A few years ago I purchased a t-shirt at the store Maurice’s. It was one of those, “I need something new to wear this weekend” purchases, and so I didn’t expect to wear it much. Turns out I wore it A LOT. Sequins always make a shirt better I decided I needed to make a […]
This is a semi-tutorial. I got some pictures, but usually when I sit down at my machine, all thoughts of pictures go out the window as I am sewing. This shows the process moreso. The 52 Week Sewing Challenge group has for this week’s challenge Sew Something to Make Sewing Easier. This was a head […]
I have been meaning to tackle another of these hoodie jackets since I made the first one. Knowing how long it was going to take definitely made my hold off on it, though. I ended up putting it in my #makenine challenge so I was sure to get it done! I also saw this jacket […]
Starting the blogging year off with my last strike-off of 2017, for a round opening today at Moonbeam Textiles. The round is called Fantastic Creatures and it featured this adorable coffee drinking unicorn. Luckily Kris gave us enough time to get these sewn up, as December was just crazy busy. No outside pictures of these…it […]
