This jacket was a pattern test that was dropped in the spring. My pictures are from the spring, so I decided to finally post this since fall is upon us. As much as she has grown, I doubt it fits her now! The pattern may come out sometime, but I decided to pull myself from […]
Another challenging garment! Wardrobe by Me needed testers for their new coat, and I volunteered for it, although I knew I would be pressed for time. My chronic back pain also ratcheted it up a notch this past month…or so. As it was, I was late on this. I used fabric for the outer that […]
This is a blog post I did for the Sewing Pattern Testers blog. It was edited a bit and she is new at blogging, so didn’t get how to put the html into the post. I am sure she will get better in time. So…here is the complete post with pictures and links! ****** Hello […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
