I was offered to sew up these strike-off samples, which are more for a younger child. My kids were well past the age that these printed samples would fit, so I went to the next best alternative…my grand-nephew! My niece’s husband did time in the Army as an EOD specialist (think: Hurt Locker), and now […]
I decided to participate in another blog tour by Made for Little Gents, and this time it was about making more than just a basic t-shirt for boys. The blog tour was sponsored by GYCT Designs, and they offered the blog tour participants the Primary Tee. There is a giveaway and sale included! The sale […]
I joined a new group on Facebook dedicated to bringing monthly blog tour related to sewing for boys. Such a great idea! Boy sewing is something that does not get a lot of exposure. This is my stop on the Sewing Blue Blog Tour. See the links at the end of the post for the […]
I haven’t made too many button down shirts for my boys, so I signed up for this pattern test at Wardrobe by Me. I have made A LOT of button down shirts, so this is not something that is a new skill for me. Growing up competing in rodeo, we had to wear button down […]
My kid is a huge Marvel fan, and once he saw the trailer for the Black Panther he was all ready to see the movie. It looks really, really cool. Unfortunately, he has been a bit sick this weekend, so no movie. I did get the lounge set sewed up for him with Black Panther […]
The boy is one of those lucky kids who has a December birthday (I am, as well), so he gets many gifts and being a teen it is harder and harder to figure out what to get him other than an Xbox giftcard. I ran across this book at Barnes and Noble, so I got […]
The boy doesn’t get much sewing done for himself lately, since he basically just wears t-shirts, a hoodie, and athletic pants. Not super exciting for mama to sew. When this new pre-order round came up at Fabric Anthropology, I knew he would love to get Venom sewed up for him! This pre-order is full of […]
When I saw that Sugar Ink Fabric was planning a Skyrim/Elder Scrolls round, I knew at least two of my peoples would be interested in this fabric. I was correct! The owner, Christie, asked for strike off seamstresses, and I happily volunteered. Pre-order for Skyrim Upon receiving the panel, the design looked a little long. […]
Look! I sewed something for my son! Poor kid gets so very neglected in the sewing room. This was a strike off sewing sample for Stardust Textiles. It is part of a new round of pre-sale fabrics that focuses on space shows (Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Star Trek). I was late to the […]
Is this not awesome fabric for swimming trunks? I picked it up on pre-order last year, and she has it in stock again on her retail site (click on the picture of it to go to the listing). Since she had it in stock again, it gave me the impetus to finally get this sewed […]
