You know as a female we have a few issues. One of them is going to a bar, concert or other crowded venue where you don’t want to hold onto your purse all night, but have more “stuff” than will fit in your pockets. Skinny jeans, ugh. There is zero room in your pockets for […]
Here is the next bag I tested this past month. This bag is the Liliane Bag. I thought it was a cute style, but honestly, I thought it would be much smaller when she showed the picture for testing. I volunteered and then afterwards found that it was a pretty big bag. So be warned. […]
I think I can call February and part of March a pattern testing whirlwind. This is nice slouchy bag, and it really is a quick and easy sew. I traversed over to Tandy Leather to see what they had for larger cuts of leather. The pieces of this pattern are 17.5″ tall and 17″ wide, […]
My Grandma turned 90 this week, and we had a big party for her. “Big” being completely rhetorical. She doesn’t have a lot of brothers and sisters left, and few friends, so it was a lot of younger relatives. It was great to see everyone and catch up. She was the one that taught me […]
I am going to be changing this site in the next week or so. I have had three blogs for a pretty long time. I have a personal blog which has become overrun with sewing, and a photography blog that has been long dormant. I want to keep my personal blog just that, so I […]
This was the last tester version of the Rayann’s Retro top. The length was pretty close to the original one I did, so you can see she shortened it up. I made it in an 8 width and 10 length. The main fabric I used for this top was purchased way back when I was […]
So, here we are…another pattern test. Hope you all aren’t getting sick of this yet. 😉 Simple Life Pattern Co. – Phoebe I really wasn’t sure the girl would want to wear this, because, yet again…dress. I figured if I put lots of cats on it, then I might get a taker. She did end […]
This pattern testing thing is sure getting me to dive deep into my stash fabrics! It is also making me have a sewing timetable, where I have to get them done, so it is has been a great impetus to get my stash sewed up. Added plus…I don’t have to draft anything. The top here […]
Suuuuuuuper exciting, I know! In the interest of trying to keep to my 2015 goals in trying to sew up some of my fabric stash, I made the girl jammies instead of going off to buy some $14 jammies at Target. Granted these don’t have pop culture references or characters on them, but they will be […]
The girl informed me that their 4th grade school performance was to be a 50’s/60’s theme. She actually gave me a good month head’s up to let me know about it. I think she is finally getting clued in that I appreciate time to make things for her. Her music teacher mentioned poodle skirts to her, […]
