Packers Pride!

By on August 24, 2017

Go Pack Go! Sara at RP Custom Fabrics has a new pre-order up with tartan plaids in team colors.  How awesome is that??  I love this idea and had to make up a top for me in the Green, Gold and White Tartan. I didn’t have any matching green, so I went to the closet […]

This fabric is from the Horror/Plaid round at RP Custom fabrics and will start running on August 20. […]

A little early for Christmas, but still cute!

By on August 19, 2017

The winter print round is open at Zenith & Quasar fabric, and there are some really cute prints.  I am a big fan of the reindeer print. 🙂 I thought I would make a little jacket with this one, and so I made the Foliis by Sofilantjes. I used the print in a different way […]

Free summer tank top

By on August 4, 2017

This was a pattern test for a summer tank top for Orange Daisy Patterns.  I liked the coverage, and the fact that she can actually wear this to school.  It seems like a lot of summer tops are not geared towards school aged kids and schools clothing standards.  Strappy tops and open backs are usually […]

Some winter sewing with Poe

By on July 22, 2017

This was a sample sewed up for Fabric Anthropology, and the theme of this round is Horror and Halloween related.  Edgar Allen Poe is not really Halloween-ish, but he was a bit of a darker writer.  It fits the theme.  One of my favorite works of his was The Telltale Heart.  He was probably one […]

Numbers

By on June 9, 2017

This is kind of the perfect fabric for school-age kiddos.  This is a pre-order up at The Fabric Cottage with numbers and letters is various colorways.  I was a bit late to choose a sample to sew up, so I ended up getting the numbers in white and black.  I probably would have chosen the […]
