This is one of the pattern tests that I just could not say “no” to doing. These cargos were a much needed addition to my wardrobe, so I couldn’t help but raise my hand. These are the Sequoia Cargo pants and shorts from Itch to Stitch. They also come with tabs in the legs so […]

Military inspired hoodie
By Stacy on January 16, 2018I have been meaning to tackle another of these hoodie jackets since I made the first one. Knowing how long it was going to take definitely made my hold off on it, though. I ended up putting it in my #makenine challenge so I was sure to get it done! I also saw this jacket […]
Flouncey Tunic Tutorial
By Stacy on January 9, 2018I wanted to make a nice neutral tunic top, so of course, I went over the top with the details. As I was cutting it out I was wondering if I should have made a different neckline, but I really like how cozy this is with the funnel cowl on it. Details: Pattern used for […]
My Grecian Goddess dress
By Stacy on December 30, 2017In the interest of cleaning up some old posts in my blog, I bring you a pattern test that got dropped this summer. It fit some of the ladies, but overall it was hard to get it right. It wasn’t the easiest pattern to make with all those gathers in knit materials. I wasn’t sure […]
Seems a bit ubiquitous to do purple, now doesn’t it? 😉 This is the new round up at Fabric Anthropology with famous musician’s that have passed, in addition to some Pride prints celebrating acceptance. I sewed up the Prince panel, with plans to get over to Paisley Park to get some photos of it in […]
Little bag
By Stacy on November 27, 2017On Saturday night we were going to go to a concert to see A Perfect Circle, so I wanted to get a small bag finished up to carry my phone and wallet. I had been meaning to make something like this for awhile now, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. I made […]
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 […]
City stripes
By Stacy on November 6, 2017I love the fact that I am at a place in my sewing that I can have an idea and be able to draft patterns to what I want. This doesn’t always mean the execution is easy, though! This jacket was a huge pain the butt, and took most of a day, but I love […]
Wanderer
By Stacy on October 30, 2017I love it when a plan comes together! I have been drawn towards greens and love Lord of the Rings prints. Plus it kind of makes my hair look super bright! The cardigan here is made from Leaf Modal Spandex Jersey from Nature’s Fabrics. Disclosure: They sent me this fabric for free, but all opinions […]
Finally a black purse
By Stacy on October 15, 2017In early 2017 I had made a black purse that I loved. After going back home for a benefit (whereby I made two other purses for it) I was offered some moola for my black purse. I knew she really wanted it and would ask me again for it, so I sold it to her. […]
