You know, I thought once the kids started school, things we get less hectic. That first month of school, along with both kids in high school sports, was another fast-paced month. There was a lot of running back and forth for practices and games, along with the extra club fastpitch softball. We didn’t go to […]
It never ceases to amaze me what designers can come up with for fabric patterns. The push for faux fill-in-the-blank can give you a fun look with the comfort of knit. I’ve seen faux leather, faux sparkles, faux glitter and here we have faux cable knit. It gives you a look of winter, but without […]
I showed in a previous post a dress turned into a top that I made for a wedding in August. Here is what I ended up making and wearing to it. I have several black skirts that I have made over the years, so I thought the next attempt would just be a top that […]
I thought I would do a blog post on the status of my summer capsule. I wore it a lot more this summer, as I was working from home, so it was more practical to wear my comfy clothes than office wear. One of the perks of working from home! In the spring of 2017 […]

This is one of those easier to make leather bags. I have made three of these so far. The first two I made were not as wide, and I am having a bit of a problem getting my 5 x 7 journal in it, so I decided to make this one a bit bigger. I […]
Another few weeks, and I am behind again. This summer has been trying, I tell ya. I was hoping I would be a more organized person this year, and lo and behold almost 3/4 of the year is gone. Not sure how that has happened, but time is going at warp speed right now. Next […]
If you have followed my sewing much, you will know that I tend to draft a lot of the patterns that I sew. I love being able to sketch something out, and then turn it into a piece of clothing. Drafting patterns is not rocket science, but experience in sewing does really help. The basics […]
