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 […]
The boy is into the Assassins’ Creed video game and movie, though he hasn’t actually played the game. Dad has, and they are pretty cool games, with a bit of history involved in them. The boy wanted some shirts with the AC logo on them, and yes, I know…copyright and all that. We have bought […]
My son is a soon to be teenager, and it appears at this age that hoodies are a thing. He wears hoodies and t-shirts all winter long. Now, while he has plenty of t-shirts, there is a lack of hoodies. He had one that fit and a few that were too small but worked, so […]
This costume has been an agony of time in getting it finished. I have not had the time I would have liked to devote to all of the details in making it. I feel bad that I didn’t get their swords done for the Geralt and Ciri costumes, but something’s gotta give, Man. Momma works […]
Sewing for a tween boy can be a bit of a challenge. This is especially true when he really doesn’t care at all what he wears, as long as it is comfortable. Only recently has he cared enough to actually match his clothes. A bit frustrating. Luckily, he still wants me to make him things, […]
During the winter, the World’s Toughest Rodeo has a few performances in our neck of the woods. I was on the website right away and got some good front seats, which cost a bit more than I usually spent. Afterwards, I decided the “nicer” seats weren’t nice at all, since I had the arena gates […]
As I clearly do not have enough on my plate, as is, I volunteered to test another pattern. Luckily it was a quickie, and luckily the Boy got something out of the pattern testing this time! This is the Tribute Hoodie by Little Finch Patterns. It is very quick to put together, and the sizing was […]
As part of a charity project for the kids at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, we had a specific challenge to get some boy gifts made up. Since my son has a ton of little cars, this was the perfect gift. I went through the big bin and picked out cars that looked new. It […]
These suckers were harder than I thought they would be. I decided to make my kids new lunchboxes as their old ones had seen better days. They get used usually 4 days a week during school, so they need to be able to take a lickin’ and keep on truckin’. They also need to be […]
My son loves his robe. He lives in the thing. He will throw on some of the flannel pants that I have made him and the robe, and if we have no where to go on the weekends he will wear it all day long. That thing could go take a walk, since he barely […]
