I’m pretty sure this photo explains the little bit of sass… This is a pretty cute little panel that is up at Rockerbye on pre-order. This round is full of horses, llamas, some jungle creatures and cute coordinates. The pre-order starts today at Rockerbye. The size of the panel here is a child’s panel, […]
Category: Sewing for me
I made this dress before going to a concert a few weeks ago. It was Apocalyptica plays Metallica, and we took the younguns’ with us. It was a nice smallish concert hall, and four cellos playing rock is always interesting! It was a late night, though, so we payed for it on Monday morning. It […]
Gathered cowl top
By Stacy on October 5, 2017I ordered this bamboo jersey fabric from Nature’s Fabric, and expected it to be more of a true red. It is a bit of a rusty red (more rusty than I could get the color to show here), so it wasn’t going to work for what I initially intended. Instead, I though I would make […]
Jersey shirt for #footballmom
By Stacy on October 3, 2017Not one to shy away from fanwear for my kiddos, I happily tested this football jersey top pattern. The test ended up being dropped due to some fit issues, so unfortunately, no pattern at this point to share. Maybe in the future she will finish it up, but not sure if that is in the […]

A wardrobe staple – 4 gore black skirt
By Stacy on September 12, 2017This is one of those pieces that will get worn all the time. It is fitted at the hips and skims down to flare out above the knee. This is a nice length for this area, since I can wear it in the winter with tights underneath and boots. It will still show my boots, […]

Long overdue cardigan draft
By Stacy on September 2, 2017I have been wanting to make this cardigan for quite awhile. It wasn’t the color I would choose, but I loved the flounces. This would have to be flounces and not ruffles, as the gathering would make it horrendous to sew the seams. My plan of attack was to use the WBM basic t-shirt and […]
Packers Pride!
By Stacy on August 24, 2017Go 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 […]
