It is that time of year to look back at alllllllll I accomplished throughout 2016. I started the year off strong, then came travel softball and baseball for the kids, so summer was mostly a wash. My time eased up by fall, so I finished the year off strong. Here is a synopsis of a […]
No modeling of these! Generally, there are things I tend to buy. Jeans, outerwear and underwear being in that group. It seems a waste of time to make underwear, since they are so cheap. Of course, if you like a certain overpriced brand in a version they no longer carry…then you might be inclined to […]
I saw this striped fabric on a custom fabric website and thought it would be perfect for the pattern test I did on the cropped jacket. Unfortunately, I spent way too much on fabric for these pieces, but sometimes you just gotta splurge. Most of my fabrics I buy are at a discount fabric warehouse, […]
I finally got pictures of this top that I made in late summer. I have shared a picture of the skirt before, but here is a better shot of it. The shirt is my drape top pattern out of Modern Jersey in my own fabric design. I really like this design, and even put it […]
Here is a Pinterest pattern hack coming for you. This pin is pretty popular. It is a short-sleeved top with a “cape” over it. If you are on Pinterest, I am sure you have seen it. I know it comes up in my feed all the time. I wanted to make this as part of […]
My son is a soon to be teenager, and it appears at this age that hoodies are a thing. He wears hoodies and t-shirts all winter long. Now, while he has plenty of t-shirts, there is a lack of hoodies. He had one that fit and a few that were too small but worked, so […]
This is a guest post I did for Crafting Con. Bringing it home for Halloween! ***** Hello! I am Stacy and I blog at Stylin’ Stacy. The costumes I tend to make these days are centered around cosplay characters. They serve dual purposes as my kids wear them to a convention in the spring and […]
My daughter needed a new top to wear for our family pictures, too, right?? Of course, she did. I drew the horse out during one of the kids’ games, and I knew she would want it on a shirt. I transferred it to a digital format, and cut it out with the Silhouette. See the […]
I like to look at CAbi for inspiration on new pieces to make. I like the details, in general, and they tend to have nice finishes. I have a friend that invites me to her parties, and I usually end up buying a few pieces that fit into my wardrobe. This casual top caught my […]
Last spring I bought these patterned jeans on sale at Justice for my daughter. I don’t make EVERYTHING that she wears. These are 14 Slims and I still needed to put elastic in the back waist for them to fit well. A relatively easy fix, but that is generally the reason why I make a […]
