There is a little girl, who I have known since birth, that requested a dance costume from me. You see, last year when she chose her individual costume for her dance performance, she got it from a catalog. *shocked gasp* An entire team had also chosen that dance outfit for their performance, so needless to […]
It is the time of year when I focus on back to school sewing. The Boy doesn’t really need too much. He really just likes to wear exercise pants/shorts and t-shirts. Not exactly exciting to sew. The Girl, at least, is a little fashionista. She likes new clothes, but they must be comfortable. She told […]
Our friend turned 40 yesterday, so a bunch of us went on a brewery crawl (her husband rented a bus for us, thank goodness!). The kids were out of town all week at their aunt and uncle’s farm, so I had some time to sew up something to wear! I will go into details of […]
This is another shirt that I drafted from a pin on Pinterest. It is actually a Burda pattern that I saw at one point last year. It was a pretty simple pattern, so it wasn’t like I needed to buy it. It is just a big boxy shirt. So…not sure about it. It is really […]
I was trying to figure out what I wanted to sew on a Sunday night, since I finally had some free time. We are in the midst of softball, baseball and yardwork. It must be springtime. I decided to try to draft a new pattern from one of my pins on Pinterest. This is the […]
Today I am guest posting over at Oliver & S for another tweenified version of their patterns: the Hide and Seek Tunic and Playtime Leggings. (Yep, they gave me these patterns again. As you know, I tend to draft my own, so I don’t buy patterns anymore for the most part. All opinions on these […]
We are heading into the lovely grey days of Autumn, where it tends to rain a bit and then snow a bit. Not looking forward to either, especially after the beautiful weekend we had. I took these shots right before it started to rain, and the skies were getting a bit grey. Definitely a Monday morning. […]
Hey, back to Pinterest! I know it is no longer August, but I made this in August. I just didn’t get any pictures taken of it. This is my take on this Desingual skirt I found and pinned. I did the yoke and pockets, but pretty much everything else is a bit different from the […]
I was excited to try to make this top: The supplies I used was a lace appliqué and a very light, thin cotton gauze. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find lace like the top above. The piece I found was smaller, but thought it would still work. I drafted a pattern, and made it very drapey and long. […]
It’s that time of year again…time to sew the Girl some swimsuits! The kids are at a real camp in the woods for the next two weeks and they swim everyday. Not sure how warm that pool is right now, though. This is also going to be my June Pinterest project. If you noticed…I didn’t have a […]
