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 […]

One of the things that I wanted to get done at the sewing retreat were some cargo shorts for the Boy. They are time consuming to do, with all the pockets and topstitching, so I figured getting some dedicated sewing time would be good! I got two pairs of shorts completed for him. This pattern […]
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 […]
This shirt is one that I sewed up at the retreat. I copied it off a RTW shirt that I had in my closet that was getting faded and had some holes in the front. I had it all cut out ahead of time, so I just had to sew it up when I got […]
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 […]
Last Thursday I had a minor surgery, so I was trying to take it easy over the weekend. I was a bit tired out from the surgery and was not supposed to lift anything heavy. I did get a chance to finally get some sewing off my table, though. Standing at my cutting table […]
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 […]
Shannon invited me to participate in the Breeze Top pattern tour, and I just couldn’t say no! Of course, the Girl has her own opinions and I wasn’t sure she would be as thrilled as I. Fortunately, she liked the style and we worked on a top that she would wear. Yes, this is the top […]
Today I am over at Gracious Threads for her Embellish is for Boys series with this outfit for the Boy. Notice how dry our backyard is in this photo? Yeah…that is SO NOT THE CASE right now. I am guessing we have had 5-7 inches of rain overnight and into mid-day today. Our backyard is […]
