Anya perused my fabric stash and came across this silky, velour-like, shiny blue fabric. Now, she is not normally one to stray from her chosen fabric color (PINK), but the shiny just called to her. We paired it with some of the last bits of this soft, furry fabric, and sat down to design a […]

So on Wednesday I realized that I hadn’t put anything into Anya’s class basket for the PTO Carnival that was to be held that Friday. The theme was “Crafting with Kids”, so what did I make? Yes! You guessed it! (How smart you are!) I made another art purse/satchel. I asked Anya to help me […]
This blanket is for the little man of one of our friends. He was born early at 30.5 weeks and had spent a bit of time in the NICU getting stronger every day. He is now at home and they are keeping him away from all the germies. I am going to get this nicely […]
I got some more sewing done for our little guy this weekend DESPITE having a head cold. He now is the proud owner of two more pairs of pants, so hopefully he will be set for a little while. A few weeks worth, I would wager. He’s got a few pants that he is just […]
Well, finally! I had Sunday set aside as a day I wanted to work on some sewing projects. Of course, it was nice out, and I was sewing away in the COLD basement. Gah! I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, but I was still relatively successful in cranking out some […]

Stylin’ little man
By Stacy on September 21, 2010Sewing for boys is difficult. It isn’t difficult in the way of execution. Pants and t-shirts are pretty much their garb, and that isn’t all that difficult to sew. It is difficult in creating something with a little extra design goodness that doesn’t go over the top. I’m not very good at subtle. When I was […]
Last week I took off from work with the intent that I would sew all week and be productive like last year. That didn’t quite happen. I didn’t start sewing until Wednesday night and didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. I was still able to churn out some clothes in between […]
Yes, today I am showing some clothes for Fall. Even though Kailan probably needs more shorts, he is just S.O.L. Perhaps if he didn’t change in and out them like a teenage girl, he would have more available clothing. Therin lies the trouble…it is his own fault. 😉 Last Fall I cut out a bunch […]

Charity basket of baby boy goodness
By Stacy on July 13, 2010I got the basket finished up in time to give it to my Mom and Dad so they could pass it through to the silent auction folks. This is going to benefit a mom of my friend’s girlfriend/ex-wife/mother of his 2 kids. Complicated. She was diagnosed with an agressive bone cancer and they are in […]
About a year and a half ago I made this red shirt, but unfortunately I can’t find the “before” picture. I was going for a “blousey-hide-my-belly feel” for the shirt and ended up making a mumu. I wore it once, I think. Now that I no longer feel the need to hide my belly (though […]
