Due to a busy week/weekend, I didn’t get any sewing done. BUT I did sew this a few weeks back, so I have something to show today. I wasn’t thrilled with how it turned out, but it is mostly due to the fabric. It is a “bunchy” fabric, so it tends to add weight on […]

Firefly lingo – Shiny=Good I finally got a chance to sew this weekend, since it was so flippin hot and humid outside that I sequestered myself in the cool basement. This fabric has been sitting around for a few years, so I decided to make a skirt out of it. At first I thought I […]

Guess what his daddy likes to do

By Stacy on June 13, 2011I didn’t get much done on the sewing front this past week. I worked out every day last week, so that was my excuse. I did get a project done that had been waiting for a year. I spray-painted some picture frames and put my wall of pictures back up after taking them down when […]
When I was in college I bought a pretty little cheap suit at TJ Maxx. I got rid of it at one point, but I still miss it. It had a jacket with a flounce all the way around and a pencil skirt. I would certainly wear the jacket now, but the skirt probably didn’t […]
My next inspiration dress comes from Chasing Fireflies. They have tons of pretty girly dresses. This dress was done in denim and retails for $238 (ouch!). Very pretty with lots of detailing, so I can understand why it is spendy. (click on picture to go to website) I wanted to do a similar dress, though […]
A few girly things… Birthday gift for one of Anya’s girlfriends I really wasn’t going to make a gift for this party. I was busy and stressed and really didn’t want to have to sew a dress. Then I thought the little girl would feel bad if I didn’t make her one when I’ve made […]
More sewing for your’s truly. I think part of the joy I get out of sewing is making patterns and sewing things that fit me. This tends to backfire occassionally when I spend hours making something for myself and then it doesn’t fit. Very frustrating! Here are a couple of tank tops that I traced […]
I don’t think I have made six birthday dresses for her, but it was her 6th birthday. I didn’t start sewing for her until she was a little over a year, and I think her 2nd birthday was the first time I made anything special for her to wear on her special day. She was pretty […]
S.W.A.P. = sewing with a plan for those not into the online sewing terminology. Basically, you try to sew a coordinating group of items. I tried to make some coordinating outfits for our trip to Vegas so I didn’t need to buy anything. Ha! Like that worked! I did use some of the items I […]
