Like I needed to buy more fabric amiright?? Side note: there is still fabric sitting on the floor in front of the closet. I have been doing occasional fabric designs, and as I am no longer buying from custom fabric groups on Facebook, I have turned to buying my own fabrics. Here are some fabrics […]
In the last few years I have purchased, sewn up and washed fabrics from a several different custom fabric shops. I know there are several more that offer custom fabric printing, but depending on minimums I won’t order if it has a minimum of over 2 yards. I’m not going to sink that much money […]
After I got my job offer I decided to try on my work pants. The last time I wore most of them was about 1.5 years ago before I started working from home. The yoga pants have not been kind to me. 😉 Yes, nonnnnnnne of them fit! So! Time to make something I can […]
Well, it happened. I got a job. No more sleeping in, drinking coffee and checking Facebook for the first half of the day. 😉 No…now I have to actually use my brain again! It should be interesting and challenging, which is something my last job wasn’t for several years. I’m looking forward to it! Now, […]
After about 15 years, it is time to repaint a bathroom right? This was a long time in coming. I was actually thinking that I had painted the bathroom this year, but it was in October. How time does fly. This was what it looked like before: I painted the room in two colors. One […]
I had another set of pillows on my “to do” list, and that was for our sectional. It kind of needs pillows to lean against and all the pillows we have are small. I made them several years ago. I decided to design a pattern for them, and ended up making 4 different patterns. One […]
I have a list of things I have wanted to get sewn up over the time I am on hiatus from working (i.e. unemployed). One thing on the list was some big pillows for the 1.5 chair in the basement by the fire. It is a deep chair and really needs to have some pillows. […]
As I am having so much fun making up my designs into repeat patterns, I thought I would go into a little of how I create them. I start out by drawing a design by hand. Once my design is all done, I take a picture of it and bring it into Photoshop. I delete […]
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. […]
Here is the last print I sewed up for the current rounds open at Fabric Anthropology/Thread Therapy Fabric. I volunteered to sew up too many fabrics this time. I didn’t keep track of what I had already signed up for, soooooo…yeah, a little stressed with getting them sewn up and photographed!
