The camp that the children go to for a few weeks over the summer has a tie dye activity. Every. Single. Week. Really, how many tie dye t-shirts does a kid need? The Boy already did a tie-dyed t-shirt as part of his last week in school. He learned there were different ways to tie […]
I was excited to try to make this top: The supplies I used was a lace appliqué and a very light, thin cotton gauze. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find lace like the top above. The piece I found was smaller, but thought it would still work. I drafted a pattern, and made it very drapey and long. […]
It’s that time of year again…time to sew the Girl some swimsuits! The kids are at a real camp in the woods for the next two weeks and they swim everyday. Not sure how warm that pool is right now, though. This is also going to be my June Pinterest project. If you noticed…I didn’t have a […]
This week, I am up over at Gracious Threads (oops, guess it is next week!) for her Embellish is for Boys series. She is showing some great options for making boy clothes more fun! I am showing how to use vinyl iron-on from my Silhouette machine to dress up boy clothes. I bought this stencil from […]
I bought the Girl some jeans from Justice when they went on sale. I concede that making jeans is not my favorite thing to do, though I am getting a bit better at it. Finding decent bottom weights with lycra and fun colors is not the easiest, though. I was just fine with whipping out my […]
The Boy’s choice for Wizard World was to be a Wizard from Clash of Clans: Whoohoo! Fairly easy costume! I already had some blue fabric for the pants, so I made him a pair of navy pants from an Ottobre pattern. I had already made him a brown shirt to wear with some flannel pants for […]
Like so many sewing mama’s I am making an Elsa costume. We went to Wizard Con (a comic con), so the kids needed a costume…of course! She wanted to go as Elsa. Big shocker right there. 😉 When looking at Elsa pictures, her dress went from a sky blue to an almost turquoise color. We ended […]
This top was one that I was going to make to go along with my stash busting outfit, but it was a bit too much all together. The Challenge Create – Adult Edition results were released starting on Tuesday, and I was the lowest scoring. Ah well, I got some fun prizes! One was a Spoonflower gift […]
Here we are at the last week! I actually have been destashing this entire time, as I have wayyyyy too much fabric on my shelves! It was bad before, but then the nearest fabric store to me decided to liquidate. Well…then…at 50-70% off it was hard NOT to buy more fabric. I was like one […]
I have been trying to make me some stretch denim capri jeggings. These are the first pair. I can’t get them on. Big time fail right here. On my next pair I added in some space. They ended up being a little too big, so I took some off at the inner seam. […]
