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 […]
This top was one that I was going to make to go along with my stash busting outfit, but it was a bit too much all together. The Challenge Create – Adult Edition results were released starting on Tuesday, and I was the lowest scoring. Ah well, I got some fun prizes! One was a Spoonflower gift […]
Last Fall, as part of the CAbi line they had arm warmers. One was in a nice ponte knit and one was ponte and “fleather” (fake leather…sounds classier than saying pleather, I guess). They weren’t too bad for CAbi prices at around $35 – $45, but I could obviously make these so much cheaper. I […]
I finally got my version of this skirt done. This is a skirt that is listed on Etsy. I checked it out and wasn’t a huge fan on how she placed the ruffles on her skirt, plus the edges look like they were just serged and not hemmed. This is my version: The skirt […]
I am not a big pinner on Pinterest, but I do pin things that interest me or things I would like to make. My little personal challenge this year was to make at least one thing from my Pinterest “to make” board each month. I already made this scarf, which was a December project. That […]
I saw this scarf on Pinterest, and thought it was a really cool concept. I love the leather with the snaps for an infinity type of scarf. I had some really pretty quilting cotton that I thought would work GREAT for this project. I also had some black, ugh…I can’t think of what this type of […]
Well, this week on Project Run and Play, it is boy’s week. I was already planning on making a s.w.a.p. for the Boy, so it fell in nicely. There is sure to be some “boy suits” sewn for this challenge, but usually I try to make clothes that he will actually wear all the time. […]
