This is one of my favorite surface designs that I have done. I love the colors of the fish and the drawing turned out really well for this yin yang design. I ordered this in linen and then coated it with Odicoat to preserve it. I cut out the circles and then cut it out […]
I have no person in mind for this, I just wanted to make it. Maybe it will be a gift for someone or it can go towards a potential market booth in the future. I used the same pattern as the mushroom bag earlier. It looks like this and the dimensions are around 10″ x […]
When my family was cleaning out my grandma’s house after she passed, they found a small bin full of deerhides. Some were in decent condition, some were pretty stained up, but there were enough to be used. As I am the only one that really sews or uses leather, they ended up at my house. […]
This year wasn’t a plentiful year, but I did have several designs that I made. A few I have printed and used for my sewing during the year.
Luckily this was an easy theme to follow. I wanted to make a backpack to bring to the renaissance festival that looked renaissance festival-y. We ended up travelling to Texas to visit friends and go to the Scarborough Faire. I had several things to make. I used some deerskin leather that we found at my […]
We have outdoor furniture that we occasionally use. The cushions were old and stained (dark mold) and they needed to be updated before a certain kid’s graduation party last year. That did not happen, and I embarrassingly had to use the horrible stained cushions with non-removeable covers that could not be washed. Yuck. I did […]
My daughter wanted a satin slip dress, so I set about drafting a pattern for her. I purchased some satin in one of my patterns from Spoonflower: It started out with more of a fitted top, but I didn’t think that it was going to fit correctly, so will draft a different version…eventually. I gathered […]
After I made the last bucket purse, I wanted to make another one with my own fabric. I ordered a couple of my designs on different canvas fabrics from Spoonflower. This one is my celtic phoenix design. I also made it a little bigger than the last one. This time it did drive me to […]
I did a little pre-summer sewing, just to get a few things off the to-make list. I had wanted to make this skort last year, but never got around to it. I cut out these two patterns in March and finally had a chance to make them up last weekend. I have had the fabric […]
Here I sit at the end of the year of not much sewing and have managed to sew/finish up 10 garments, 1 backpack purse, 3 leather wallet key chains and I fixed 2 leather purses. That is more than I think I accomplished the rest of 2021! Time is a hot commodity right now for […]
