This year wasn’t a plentiful year, but I did have several designs that I made. A few I have printed and used for my sewing during the year.
I had a wedding to attend last weekend, and after finally finding a dress to wear, I needed a purse to go with it. I remembered that I had purchased a printed leather from Bespoke Leather Buying Club, so I got to work with a purse. I ended up adjusting a pattern I had drafted […]
Week 51: Sew Something with a Woven Fabric The lining is woven fabric. This was a quick make to go to a Black Stone Cherry concert. I needed a break, so we stayed overnight near the concert venue, which was the smallest we have seen them at. It’s a biker bar with an outdoor concert […]

Week #31: Sew Something with Denim Fabric
By Stacy on July 29, 2025I like to have dark denim stretchy pants to wear, and actually wore these to work. I do tend to over-dress at work compared to my counterparts, but sometimes if no one is really coming in I will wear something like this to work. My version of jeans. This is a basic straight-leg pattern with […]
22 May 28-Jun 3 Sew a Swimsuit This is a swimsuit that I cut out LAST summer. This could be in a WIP, as well. This pattern is a mix of my own bottoms pattern and the 5 out of 4 Patterns Agility Tank. I made this pattern several years ago, and like having separates […]

By Stacy on July 3, 2025
Week 26 – Jun 25-July 1 Clean your Sewing Space/WIP I cleaned the space as some of my daughter’s college friends were coming for a visit. I wanted to let them each have a room, but they ended up just staying in my son’s open room. At least I got it cleaned up…it needed it: […]

Week 18: Sew Something for the Outdoors
By Stacy on June 6, 2025
Luckily I had some Ren Faire outfit stuff to make. Which is outdoors. I made a few umbrella holders since it was going to be hot. Minor amount of sewing, but some sewing. I made three of them for oiled paper umbrellas. I just took what leather scraps I had to find pieces large enough […]

Week 20: Sew Something with a Pocket
By Stacy on June 3, 2025Pockets are good things. I put pockets in these pants I made for my son for the Renaissance Festival. Another self-drafted creation. He wanted something cooler than the pleather pants I made him before, which it wouldn’t take much since those hold in the heat. These are linen pants and a little wider than the […]

Week 13: Sew Something with a Paper Pattern
By Stacy on May 31, 2025I used paper to create this pattern, so I’m going to go with this one. It was a copy of a top I purchased and I wanted to make one similar to it for the Renaissance Festival. This is a pretty simple peasant top pattern. I did make the back lower than the front, so […]
Luckily this was an easy theme to follow. I wanted to make a backpack to bring to the renaissance festival that looked renaissance festival-y. We ended up travelling to Texas to visit friends and go to the Scarborough Faire. I had several things to make. I used some deerskin leather that we found at my […]
