It has been awhile since I made a blazer, and Wardrobe by Me was going into testing for one. The timing was less than ideal. I had already committed to doing some sample sewing and another test, and then I had a funeral. I was soooooo very glad when I got this finished. It turned […]
With the approach of summer, I decided to try my hand at converting a top I drafted last year (or was it the year before?) into an easy summer dress. I like this top, since it is loose around the waist, but not too loose. This is aided by the gathers just being along a […]
March just zoomed on by here! I was plenty busy, and then I over-committed myself, and here I am all stressed out again. Need to stop that. Part of the problem is that everything came due at once (2 pattern tests and some strike-off sample sewing), and add in some gifts and just fun sewing. […]
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 […]
I was sent a few fabric samples to sew up for Zenith & Quasar fabrics, and this is one of the prints I chose. It is called Watercolor Coral, and it is printed on a heavy brushed poly base. It feels soooo nice! I don’t know what she will end up ordering but both bases […]
For my daughter’s birthday, she wanted a new pair of shoes like I bought for myself last summer. These are not cheap shoes. Zazzle is a website where you can put designs, art and a miriad of sayings on just about anything. Last year I discovered that they could put tiled designs on shoes, and […]
I wasn’t sure if the girl would like this Cheshire Cat print from Affordable Fabrics and More, but it turned out she did! When I ordered, I did not order a panel with it…not sure why. The fabric host threw in the panel for free, which was a nice surprise. The panel was short-ish, so […]
