Swimsuit time again

By on June 10, 2014

It’s that time of year again…time to sew the Girl some swimsuits!  The kids are at a real camp in the woods for the next two weeks and they swim everyday.  Not sure how warm that pool is right now, though. This is also going to be my June Pinterest project.  If you noticed…I didn’t have a […]

Tweeny boy sewing

By on June 8, 2014

This week, I am up over at Gracious Threads (oops, guess it is next week!)  for her Embellish is for Boys series.  She is showing some great options for making boy clothes more fun! I am showing how to use vinyl iron-on from my Silhouette machine to dress up boy clothes.  I bought this stencil from […]

A little bit of the 80’s

By on June 1, 2014

I bought the Girl some jeans from Justice when they went on sale.  I concede that making jeans is not my favorite thing to do, though I am getting a bit better at it.  Finding decent bottom weights with lycra and fun colors is not the easiest, though.  I was just fine with whipping out my […]

Me Made May – Day 19

By on May 19, 2014

This weekend I don’t think I really wore anything I made, so I broke my streak!  I did sign up for 5 of 7 days, so it’s all good. This was a dreary rainy day, so black was in order!  We are slowly, slowly warming up around these parts.  Yesterday I spent the day outside […]

Me Made May – Day 16

By on May 16, 2014

Finally Friday!  Yay! I know this is supposed to be a “theme day” for MMM, but I couldn’t do the “too pretty for pants” theme.  I had a chiropractor appointment this day, and I need to wear pants for that!  I shouldn’t have worn heels as my back was not happy with me anyways, but […]

Me Made May – Day 15

By on May 15, 2014

I love how easy dresses are to wear!  This is a dress I made this winter, and I threw it on with a little knit jacket that I purchased.  We are still on the cool side here, so I needed to have some warmth.  I haven’t put my boots away yet, either. I actually just […]

Me Made May – Day 14

By on May 14, 2014

This was a last minute I-gotta-wear-something-I-made selection.  I went on a fieldtrip this day to the State Fairgrounds for an agriculture exhibition for my daughter’s class.  I knew I would be walking amongst animals and in barns, so something pretty casual was needed.  It was also going to be cold, but regardless this shirt needed […]

Me Made May – Day 9

By on May 9, 2014

Today for Me Made May, the theme is supposed to be Blue.  I was thinking on what I had that was blue, and remembered I put this shirt in the back of my closet.  It was too big at the time, but now…well, HEY, IT FITS!   Not necessarily a good thing, but I will […]

Me Made May – Day 8

By on May 8, 2014

This was a day that was tough to dress for, as the weather was fluctuating quite a bit.  The shirt underneath the sweater is sleeveless, so I knew it could go either way.    Yep, it is not a dress, but a top and a skirt.  I even made a shirt out of this material for […]
