One of the things I like about sewing up strike-offs of fabrics is that it forces me to be more creative. The other seamstresses are good at what they do, so just making a plain top or something isn’t trying hard enough. I want to make something awesome with the strikes! Awesome it is. She’s […]
Go Pack Go! Sara at RP Custom Fabrics has a new pre-order up with tartan plaids in team colors. How awesome is that?? I love this idea and had to make up a top for me in the Green, Gold and White Tartan. I didn’t have any matching green, so I went to the closet […]
I recently became a Sewing Portfolio’s Ambassador, who partners with Michael Miller Fabrics. As part of promoting the website and group, we received 3 yards of Michael Miller Fabrics current collections. These fabrics are from the Swirly Girls line. I knew that these fabrics would be destined for some girls at the domestic abuse shelter […]
A few groups have rounds opening this week, so I was super busy again making clothes for my little fashionista. I decided to focus on fall items, since we will be winding up summer here pretty soon. This fabric is from the Horror/Plaid round at RP Custom fabrics and will start running on August 20. […]
The winter print round is open at Zenith & Quasar fabric, and there are some really cute prints. I am a big fan of the reindeer print. 🙂 I thought I would make a little jacket with this one, and so I made the Foliis by Sofilantjes. I used the print in a different way […]
Here is another seasonal print that is for winter. This print is a kids panel, with a matching coordinate from Zenith & Quasar fabrics. The panel looks like this (print yet to come): 24″ tall x 58-60″ wide cut including: 1 front panel (24″ x 20ish”) 1 back panel, solid color (24″ x 20ish”) 1 […]
Delayed as the summer is slipping away! Might be because we are pretty busy over here, too. The first week in August the kids spent with family, so hubster and I spent our evenings eating out and drinking. I’m sure I gained 5 lbs that week. July was actually more productive that I thought it […]
Well, the request was odd, but the item to make was pretty easy. One of the dad’s on my son’s baseball team collects dinosaur bones. He had a 4′ dinosaur bone that he unearthed on a dig that he needed to have a pouch to cushion it as it stood end on end. This pouch […]
Hey look, something that is not a pattern test or strike off sewing! I have been wanting to make another sheer inset top in black. I have made a white one and one with huge sleeves. The process in drafting this was pretty easy. I used a dolman top pattern that I made from a […]
This was a pattern test for a summer tank top for Orange Daisy Patterns. I liked the coverage, and the fact that she can actually wear this to school. It seems like a lot of summer tops are not geared towards school aged kids and schools clothing standards. Strappy tops and open backs are usually […]
