If you follow my blog, you know that I made the girl an Elsa costume in April for a Wizard World comic convention. She was a hit at the convention, with much pictures taken of her with little girls and other cosplayers. Thank goodness she decided to be Elsa for Halloween, so she got more use out […]
Category: Sewing for the girl
Today I am posting the black and white Stylo outfit, which is all Oliver + S patterns (donated by them for the magazine contributors). I used the following patterns: Black and silver stripe top – O & S Sailboat Top Metallic black and white shorts – O & S Sketchbook Short Fur Jacket – O & S Firefly […]
First of all, I was very happy that my friend, Rachel at Nest Full of Eggs, asked me to come along with her on this Stylo project. I love the fashion photography aspect of this little magazine, plus add in the fact that I get to sew up something a bit dressier than normally allowed..well, […]

Fall Colors
By Stacy on October 6, 2014Today I am guest posting over at Oliver & S for another tweenified version of their patterns: the Hide and Seek Tunic and Playtime Leggings. (Yep, they gave me these patterns again. As you know, I tend to draft my own, so I don’t buy patterns anymore for the most part. All opinions on these […]

Tween all the way
By Stacy on September 22, 2014Today I am guest posting over on the Oliver & S blog, showing how to tween-ify some of their patterns that go up to a size 12. The patterns I chose were actually two boy patterns that I made for the Girl. I think the main difference between boy and girl patterns are the fact […]
So LAST YEAR at the Sewing Mama’s retreat I made this shirt. It was the first thing I made, and I loved how it turned out. I got home and the Little Miss tried it on. Too tight in the sleeves. *sigh* I thought that I had put it downstairs on my sewing table. When […]
Today I am posting at the tail end of the Refashion Month Series on House of Estrela. This is a refashion of a dress of mine that I did at one point this winter. It was supposed to be for an upcycle contest, but I never got pictures taken of the girl wearing it. It […]
I had a great time at the Sewing Mamas retreat this past weekend. Bonus: it was pretty close to me, whereas most everyone else had to drive far or fly in for it. We went shopping at SR Harris, and I spent too much money on fabric…again. Then we sewed and gabbed and ate things that […]
This is a top I made to go with another pair of jeans I bought for the Girl. As you can see…it is for the Fall and not for the warm weather we are experiencing now. I figured that she would need a long-sleeved top to go with these jeans. At first my energy […]

Tie-dye vs. the monsoon
By Stacy on June 25, 2014I made this lovely little knit/stretch lace capri joggers for the Girl to tie-dye at the camp. I used parts of an Ottobre pattern, but the legs on it are a bit off. I will need to adjust that a bit next time I use that pattern. The white lace on it is the same lace as […]
