Oh, Zenith & Quasar Fabric, how much do I love thee? It’s not just because Lilly gives me free fabric, though that is kind of cool. It is because her panels look like this: You can actually make a matching back to your shirt out of her panels! It is a whole yard (for adult […]
I have joined another seamstress team for sewing up samples of custom fabric prints to advertise for their new rounds. These are from The Fabric Cottage, and this round includes Disney Villains. She sent me a 1/4 yard of the coordinate and an adult panel of Maleficent. I didn’t think that the coordinate went as […]
Look! I sewed something for my son! Poor kid gets so very neglected in the sewing room. This was a strike off sewing sample for Stardust Textiles. It is part of a new round of pre-sale fabrics that focuses on space shows (Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Star Trek). I was late to the […]
While I was waiting for the pre-order to come in for Sports Stitches at RP Custom Fabrics, this strike off sample came up on a charity auction. I just couldn’t wait, so jumped on the chance to buy it. That was at least a month ago, and I just didn’t have time to tackle it. […]

So, I thought to myself, “I got this! I am going to use a pattern block I know fits and just modify it for this dress. No problem!” Guess what? Problem! I had to redo the neckline and armholes so many times on this. The neckline is still too high, though. Maybe on my next […]
These are some summer tops that I drafted/hacked from either patterns I made previously, or by using the Sneha by Wardrobe by Me. I used my style sheet that I put together from tops I found on Pinterest: Then, I went back and looked at more tops. Here is the first one. I modified a […]
I won’t lie and say this sporty skort is for exercising. It is so I can be comfy sitting in the hot sun. I might try to go for walks before games, since we usually need to arrive an hour before game time. That would be a good use of my time, actually. I always […]
I love how this all turned out! I am excited for the weather to get warmer and I can wear this new casual wardrobe this summer. I made: 4 shirts 4 skorts 1 dress I do have several RTW and previously sewed items that will work with this, as well. I will do a few […]
