Hey, I sewed something up this week! I have had this cut out for a few weeks, so I finally got around to sewing it up. It is basically this same top, only with a longer band around the bottom and deeper pockets. This is only 2-way stretch, so it is a bit tighter around […]
As I am having so much fun making up my designs into repeat patterns, I thought I would go into a little of how I create them. I start out by drawing a design by hand. Once my design is all done, I take a picture of it and bring it into Photoshop. I delete […]
The holidays are now upon us! It has been a busy few weeks, with not much sewing in store. I did cut out a bunch of projects, but haven’t gotten around to it. My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – Last week was Thanksgiving and this pretty much sums up the girl right now. I […]
Last week I “focused” mostly on drawing and creating patterns, so that was fun and something different. It seems like I need to change up on what I am working on or else I get bored and just don’t want to work on things. I have definitely hit a wall with my sewing lately. I […]
I am a sucker for red fabrics. Anything I can mix with black usually ends up in my shopping cart, since I wear it so much. Having my kids’ school colors as red and black definitely helps, since I try to wear the fan colors at their tournaments and games. This is the Flash lightning […]

If […]
I made a few tops for fall that I knew would get used in heavy rotation. I was missing some basic layering tops, and that was just silly. I have plenty of fabric…hello! I like to have longer tops to go with my leggings for booty coverage. For all of these I used the Sneha […]
I was actually able to get some things done last week. It was so nice! I didn’t have much work work to do, so I got some cleaning and organizing done around the house. It will start to pick up a bit more, so I am glad I was able to sneak that in. My […]
My husband has been working from home as his office is being renovated, which really makes me finish up my work and leave the office faster! He is on calls a lot, and right now my job is slowing to a crawl while I wait on other people…and really just don’t have much to do […]
