I ordered this bamboo jersey fabric from Nature’s Fabric, and expected it to be more of a true red. It is a bit of a rusty red (more rusty than I could get the color to show here), so it wasn’t going to work for what I initially intended. Instead, I though I would make […]
The girl has been reading the Sarah Maas series where the lead character is basically an assassin, though she becomes a leader. (I think…she tends to get wordy and unfocused when she explains it all). This year she wanted to be an assassin in going to the Renaissance Festival and for Halloween. That works fine […]
Not one to shy away from fanwear for my kiddos, I happily tested this football jersey top pattern. The test ended up being dropped due to some fit issues, so unfortunately, no pattern at this point to share. Maybe in the future she will finish it up, but not sure if that is in the […]
One of the reasons I love Zenith & Quasar fabrics is that she creates fabric with some great images of the world (and galaxy!) around us. This print is created using inspiration from a blue agate. The current round open for pre-order is called the Nature round, and is full of rocks, woods and things […]

As the Girl’s gym teacher learned when he was trying to talk her into joining the track team. He was pushing hard, too. “Uh, yeah, no…running isn’t really my thing.” You can, though, still look cute in them. These are the Rumba Joggers from Rogue Patterns, set to release tomorrow. They come in a huge […]
It was hard to cut into my Carina Nebula brushed poly from Zenith & Quasar fabrics, but I knew that the pattern would fit well. Brasov from Itch to Stitch This is the new Brasov top from Itch to Stitch, and I tested it. This was my first test top, and I didn’t really need […]
This is one of those pieces that will get worn all the time. It is fitted at the hips and skims down to flare out above the knee. This is a nice length for this area, since I can wear it in the winter with tights underneath and boots. It will still show my boots, […]
Is that a good name for it? Not sure what to call this style. Okay, what we have here is a tutorial for a pattern hack to get this style of top: Instructions to hack a pattern In order to do this hack, you need a basic long sleeve t-shirt top pattern that fits. I […]
