Waterfall scarf

By on December 15, 2018

I have been wanting to make this scarf for all of this year, so I decided to finally make it this past week.  I knew it would be a bit slapdash to make it.  The waterfall nature of the scarf with varying lengths just look like you start cutting and see what happens. Which is […]

FA Fashion week line – The Warrior outfit

By on October 14, 2018

This was a fun outfit to make, and I was going more for a post-apocalyptic look for it.  A strong, fierce female.  I have a board on Pinterest where I gathered a bunch of ideas, and then started working on drafting my vision. The Jacket: The first item had to be this little jacket.  I […]

Wedding guest sewing

By on September 19, 2018

I showed in a previous post a dress turned into a top that I made for a wedding in August.  Here is what I ended up making and wearing to it. I have several black skirts that I have made over the years, so I thought the next attempt would just be a top that […]

Stash game – day 3

By on September 5, 2018

Sewing Mamas forum is doing a stash game for September, so I decided I would join in.  There isn’t much participation on the forum these days, but I figured it would be something that would give me a push.   I do have limited time with the kids’ sports, but I would like to get […]

Become who you were born to be

By on May 2, 2018

Not only a great quote from the books, but a great outlook on life! This top, along with the skirt, are basically what I like to sew.  They have a bit of a steampunk flair to them, which is just so fun to wear. Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may […]

By on March 7, 2018

I did a last minute sign up for the Spring into Color blog tour set up by Sewing by Ti.  This tour centers around the Pantone color palette for Spring 2018. I decided to do the boring classic colors, mostly because I signed up late and they were really the only ones I had on […]

Copying RTW

By on November 26, 2017

There are a pair of stretch jeggings I have where I really like the fit of them.  They are kind of straight leg leggings, and I wanted to copy them for awhile now.  I finally got that done this weekend. When I copy a RTW item I own, I turn it inside out, cover each […]

Black and white and a little dressy

By on November 20, 2017

Back in the summer I made my girl a dress that I thought would work for her choir concerts this year.  Nope!  The girl needed a black bottoms and white top for her choir concert, so back to the sewing machine I went. She said she wanted a “flowy” top and I got to choose […]
