Me Made May – Day 7

By on May 7, 2014

I hadn’t quite counted on the wind factor this day.  I sometimes forget how very windy it can get in the Springtime, and that skirts like this are not conducive to this weather. I was going to run some errands at lunch, but decided against it as I wasn’t keen on my skirt going airborne! […]

Me Made May – Day 6

By on May 6, 2014

Well, it is finally starting to warm up here these days.  I went for a walk with my son last night around the lake wearing a t-shirt and yoga pants, and I was sweaty when we got home.  Well, he was riding his bike, so it was a fast walk/jog for me. I am trying […]

Me Made May – Day 5

By on May 5, 2014

Well, I am trying!  I did actually wear me made on the weekend, too.  I wore some fleece pants I made on Saturday and wore some leggings I made on Sunday. Here is a Monday work outfit.  Oh, how I dislike Mondays!  At least our weather is warming up.  I almost went bare legged this […]

Wizard

By on May 3, 2014

The Boy’s choice for Wizard World was to be a Wizard from Clash of Clans: Whoohoo!  Fairly easy costume! I already had some blue fabric for the pants, so I made him a pair of navy pants from an Ottobre pattern.  I had already made him a brown shirt to wear with some flannel pants for […]

Elsa

By on

Like so many sewing mama’s I am making an Elsa costume.  We went to Wizard Con (a comic con), so the kids needed a costume…of course! She wanted to go as Elsa.  Big shocker right there. 😉  When looking at Elsa pictures, her dress went from a sky blue to an almost turquoise color.  We ended […]

Me Made May – Day 2

By on May 2, 2014

Here is my day 2 outfit, which is for casual Friday at work.  I have started pulling out my summer tops, though it is really not even Spring-like yet.  We had snow this week. Sucks. So I will pretend that it is summer-like with my tank top with pretty flowers on it. 🙂 If you […]

Me made May – Day 1

By on May 1, 2014

I am going to try to participate in Me Made May this month.  This will require me taking an almost daily photo, which will be a challenge.  I will give it a shot, though!  I signed up for 5 a week, but I am going to try 7 a week.  Some of those weekend days […]

Black and gold

By on April 30, 2014

This top was one that I was going to make to go along with my stash busting outfit, but it was a bit too much all together.  The Challenge Create – Adult Edition results were released starting on Tuesday, and I was the lowest scoring.  Ah well, I got some fun prizes!  One was a Spoonflower gift […]

Skirt Fixation – Week 4 – Destash time

By on April 25, 2014

Here we are at the last week! I actually have been destashing this entire time, as I have wayyyyy too much fabric on my shelves!  It was bad before, but then the nearest fabric store to me decided to liquidate.  Well…then…at 50-70% off it was hard NOT to buy more fabric.  I was like one […]

Fancy pockets

By on April 20, 2014

  I have been trying to make me some stretch denim capri jeggings. These are the first pair.  I can’t get them on.  Big time fail right here.   On my next pair I added in some space.  They ended up being a little too big, so I took some off at the inner seam. […]
