I love how this turned out! I am a big fan of pink and black together, so when I got this pink watercolor french terry to sew up I knew what I wanted to make. This is the pre-order from Fabric Anthropology that closes on November 15. I paired it with a ponte I got […]
The girl is on a blue kick recently, so far be it from me to not buy tons of fabric in those colors! I had already purchased this Cascade Supplex from Zenith & Quasar when I volunteered to sew up this sample fabric for the current Fabric Anthropology round. They look pretty perfect together! The […]
This was a new test for George & Ginger Pattern Company, where she extended the sizes on the bottom and top of her size range. She added tween sizes (12 & 14) and sizes in the upper range (goes up to size 26/5X). The Slash Tunic by George & Ginger Patterns This was my first […]
The girl has been reading the Sarah Maas series where the lead character is basically an assassin, though she becomes a leader. (I think…she tends to get wordy and unfocused when she explains it all). This year she wanted to be an assassin in going to the Renaissance Festival and for Halloween. That works fine […]
One of the reasons I love Zenith & Quasar fabrics is that she creates fabric with some great images of the world (and galaxy!) around us. This print is created using inspiration from a blue agate. The current round open for pre-order is called the Nature round, and is full of rocks, woods and things […]
I have been meaning to make a cute little denim dress for my girl for some time now. This fabric was purchased a good year ago, and is a lightweight denim woven fabric. As with most things these days, I needed an impetus to spur me into action in getting it done. This year’s family […]
As the Girl’s gym teacher learned when he was trying to talk her into joining the track team. He was pushing hard, too. “Uh, yeah, no…running isn’t really my thing.” You can, though, still look cute in them. These are the Rumba Joggers from Rogue Patterns, set to release tomorrow. They come in a huge […]
This is a transition piece for summer into fall. The fabrics on these came from a round opening at Moonbeam Fabrics. Rockabily Sparkles I wasn’t sure what to do with this fun sparkle print, so I just kept it simple. I knew she would wear this outfit a bunch, since it is just a fun, […]
The lovely things about sewing up samples, is that you get to see all the pretties ahead of time. The other lovely thing is you get seasonal fabrics WAY ahead of time and have to sew them up! So you are done EARLY! Golden Oak by Fabric Anthropology This is part of the holiday fabric […]
One of the things I like about sewing up strike-offs of fabrics is that it forces me to be more creative. The other seamstresses are good at what they do, so just making a plain top or something isn’t trying hard enough. I want to make something awesome with the strikes! Awesome it is. She’s […]
