As per the usual for the last few years, the kids did not want me to make their Halloween costumes. The Boy wanted to go as a Transformer. He really wanted a “bad guy” Transformer, but I couldn’t find any in his size. Instead he got an amped up Bumblebee costume. Totally worth the money […]
Each year before we go to the Renaissance Festival, I ask the kids what they want to go as (usually knight, knight, pirate, etc.). The Boy wanted to go as a knight this year, but not much fit him from previous years. I pulled up a bunch of pictures of knight costumes and asked him […]
I normally don’t make pajamas for the kids, since they just aren’t that interesting to make. However, when you have an excessive amount of fabric…jammies sound like a good thing to sew. I had bought this kitty fabric for the Girl to make into street clothes, but I thought they would work for jammies. Especially, since […]
So…yeah…work has been kicking my fanny this year. I have been taking my computer home most days, so sewing at night has not been happening. Now I am really glad that I didn’t get a place in this season’s line up. I would be soooo stressed out! Okay, Week 3 for Project Run and Play […]
I did not get much done in the way of sewing during my almost 2 weeks off at the end of the year. I got one outfit completed for the Boy, and then I spent about 4 hours with a friend sewing her daughter 2 outfits for her American Girl doll and matching jammies for […]
Every year I have to try to make a creative and fun Christmas card. The kids, of course, need fancy schmancy clothes for the photoshoot, too. 🙂 I went with the traditional reds of Christmas for this photoshoot. Unfortunately, reds go supersonic on my Nikon D50, so excuse the excessive redness of the RED. ~~~~~ […]
This past weekend we were visiting my family for a birthday party for my cousin’s little girl. We stayed overnight, and in the morning the Boy got to shoot his compound bow that Grandpa and Grandma got him for his 7th birthday. He doesn’t get to shoot it very often, but he does really enjoy it. […]
The S.W.A.P. for the Boy is finally done! I still have several things I need to make for him, but I wanted to make sure these fit him first. There are actually a few other Ottobre pants I would like to make for him, so I need to get them traced while I’m still in “Ottobre-pain-in-the-arse” […]
The last week of Project Run and Play is sewing a signature style. This was tough to figure out. What is my signature style?? First, I was thinking of what I don’t like to make. I don’t like using patterns that EVERYONE seems to be using (i.e. peasant dresses or anything Farbenmix). I want something […]
Well, this week on Project Run and Play, it is boy’s week. I was already planning on making a s.w.a.p. for the Boy, so it fell in nicely. There is sure to be some “boy suits” sewn for this challenge, but usually I try to make clothes that he will actually wear all the time. […]
