Another test for Sofilantjes patterns! I like her style of clothes for kids, since they are on trend and comfy. I still have a few more sizes she can wear in these before she graduates out of them. They go up to a size 14, and right now she is a 10W and 13L. Sylva […]
Luckily my kids’ school colors are some of my favorites. Red and Black. It seems to be pretty popular, since that is the school colors for A LOT of other teams in this area! I do like to wear the colors when going to cheer them on, so I decided to make a new outfit. […]
Is this not awesome fabric for swimming trunks? I picked it up on pre-order last year, and she has it in stock again on her retail site (click on the picture of it to go to the listing). Since she had it in stock again, it gave me the impetus to finally get this sewed […]
I love this print by Zenith & Quasar Fabric. Seriously…LOVE. The main print is a print of an old map, and the lighter color print has snippets of the sea monsters in the map. Very cool. Unfortunately, the map print is out of stock right now, and I was lucky enough to snag some for […]

Fabric: Affordable Fabrics and More (retail is closed right now, as pre-ordered fabric arrives) Sugar skulls, called calaveras, are made to honor dead relatives on Dia de Muertos, or All Soul’s Day. This tradition can be traced back to the […]
Well, last week I managed to accomplish quite a bit. I was a pattern drafting fool! I made the first three below during the week, and the rest on the weekend. I cut them all out on Saturday after volleyball, and then sewed on Sunday. Short summer dress for me Maxi summer dress for me […]
I have belonged to the online sewing forum, Sewing Mamas, for many, many years. This is one place where sewing peeps used to post their lovelies, pre-Facebook and Instagram. Now it is down to just a few die hards. They are having a dish towel swap, so I decided to join in on it. I […]
