Final pictures of the costumes at the local Renaissance Faire.
This costume has been an agony of time in getting it finished. I have not had the time I would have liked to devote to all of the details in making it. I feel bad that I didn’t get their swords done for the Geralt and Ciri costumes, but something’s gotta give, Man. Momma works […]
Another cold snap – another reason to make these cowls! I love how they turn out, so the many hours that go into knitting them is definitely worth it. Here is my tutorial on how to make these scarves: Loom knitted, leather and snaps infinity scarf tutorial I think I should have made them a […]

Lion damask
By Stacy on September 29, 2016
This fabric design was one of the first designs I put together, and I still really love how it turned out. I think one of the designs looks like a lion. Do you see it? I printed this on the cotton lycra at Spoonflower, and it didn’t print out a true black. You can see […]

Dragon scales
By Stacy on September 28, 2016
I loved this fabric when I saw it on Affordable Fabrics and More’s website, but I wasn’t sure what to make with it. We are kind of growing out of these kinds of prints, but I thought I could make something fun. I only bought one yard, since it is pretty spendy fabric. I was […]
I remember the 80’s well, as I spent my most awkward years during the extra large bangs, neon and bleached dyed jeans era. As most of us girls that grew up during that era can attest, if you were to drop a lit match on the floor of the bathroom, the whole place would ignite […]

Ode to the skort
By Stacy on September 20, 2016
Oh skorts, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! #1 My girl is active and doesn’t like to be ladylike. She crawls on the floor, likes to run around, and doesn’t want to worry about showing her underwear. #2 Due to #1 above, she really has a hard time wearing skirts. She […]
Over the summer I made a few dresses that were worn quite often. I used the Sneha tunic/dress from Wardrobe by Me for the base of these dresses. These first ones were just the basic pattern, only I added bands to the arms. The bands were 2-3″ shorter than the armscye hole. This first one […]

The start of fall sewing
By Stacy on August 30, 2016
The chill isn’t quite in the air here yet, but it is time to start thinking about fall. I have plans for doing a Fall/Winter capsule like the one I put together for spring. The main colors I will be using are going to be black, red and white. This vest fit nicely into that […]
I need to get organized, so I am going to post my ideas for getting some fall sewing done. The girl is in need of pretty much everything. She has grown several inches since last year, so of course, none of her pants fit. I made most of her leggings long, so they kind of […]
