The Boy has his First Communion coming up, and they need to have some fancy dress for this momentous occassion. He gets to drink wine. In church. I know some kids will likely show up in suits, but I didn’t want to waste money on something that would get worn all of one time before he […]

A fabric-filled pouf ~ a tutorial
By Stacy on March 27, 2012The Boy has been asking, and asking, and ASKING me to make him a cushion for his room. I have a bunch of fabric to fill it after my recent sewing binge, so I was able to fulfill his request. Like a good Mommy. 😉 This project is really nice in that it used up […]
Nothing too exciting to show, but I thought I would prove that I have sewed a bit more things in the last few weeks. The Boy needed some new pants. He loves warm and cozy fleece pants (who doesn’t???), so I made him three pairs of fleece (he’s wearing the gray ones with his Halloween costume […]
I cut these up a good month ago, and finally got around to making them. He was excited for the “army pants”. He even had a shirt that already matched! I cut these pockets too low, so next time I will have to move them up. The other pants are denim and a stretch twill. […]

It’s football season! Errr…well, perhaps I’m late.
By Stacy on February 22, 2011I wanted an excuse to use some football grosgrain ribbon that I purchased, so I made the little man a football outfit. I know…football is over. Did I ever tell you that I was good at procrastination? Well, mainly it was just lack of inspiration. I am highly inspired to stencil lately. Thus, loads of […]

Is it a whale? Is it a shark? We’ll just call it a fish…
By Stacy on February 17, 2011Two sewing posts in one week! I am working on getting a bunch of stuff done right now. My sewing room is a mess, but I am having fun working on projects. I thought I would share these that I got done so far this week. I have two more shirts stenciled for him that […]
I had to do some teacher crafting for Valentine’s Day. I doubt very much that they would want a packet of Fun Dip like the rest of the kids. Yes, I was lazy with the children’s Valentines, per the usual. This is a nice small gift for the teachers and the one teaching assistant. I […]

Stylin’ little man
By Stacy on September 21, 2010Sewing for boys is difficult. It isn’t difficult in the way of execution. Pants and t-shirts are pretty much their garb, and that isn’t all that difficult to sew. It is difficult in creating something with a little extra design goodness that doesn’t go over the top. I’m not very good at subtle. When I was […]

New shirts for me and the boy
By Stacy on June 22, 2010I went shopping, which I thought would be mostly window shopping, but I ended up purchasing some skinny jeans and a knit shirt. The shirt fit well, but after a bit of soul searching and price tag gazing, I decided to take it back. I mean…I can make that for much, much, much less. *sigh* […]

Just in time for the Renaissance Festival
By Stacy on September 29, 2009On Saturday we went to the Renaissance Faire. We met some friends there with their two kids and had a rather nice time. The kids got to ride an elephant and go on a few more rides. I love our Ren Faire – it is in a great wooded area and lots of people dress […]
