The newest trend in fashion seems to be putting leather on just about everything. I like. I have bought some leather pieces, and one of them is this Perfection Fused Leather. You buy it by the yard, and not by the hide, so it is obviously some sort of man-made creation. It is thin like […]
I am currently playing stash game at SewingMamas.com, which is to try to get us to sew up some of our stash and NOT buy more fabric. Mildly successful with that one. I have really nowhere to wear this satin dress, but it is pretty. I have made plenty of dresses for Anya that she […]

Pinteresting project – February
By Stacy on February 10, 2014I finally got my version of this skirt done. This is a skirt that is listed on Etsy. I checked it out and wasn’t a huge fan on how she placed the ruffles on her skirt, plus the edges look like they were just serged and not hemmed. This is my version: The skirt […]

Pinteresting project – January

My little personal challenge this year was to make at least one thing from my Pinterest “to make” board each month. I already made this scarf, which was a December project. That […]

My favorite skirt – a tutorial
By Stacy on January 21, 2014
I have a favorite skirt pattern. You may have noticed. I usually make 3 or 4 of them every year, since they are easy and comfy to wear. I have made them out of stretch denim, stretch twill, and any apparel fabric that is thick enough and has lycra in it. This is a skirt, […]
Here is yet another skirt I made recently. I had this fabric hanging up in my fabric closet and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. I tend to buy things that I find interesting, and I figure that eventually I will come up with something to make. This is a black/dark brown lycra […]
The cat has claimed it… The Girl wanted a floor pouf like the ones I had made before, and I told her she had to wait until I had enough fabric scraps to fill it. Well, I had more than enough fabric scraps, but at least I finally got it done! The only issue I had […]
When I saw this fabric in the pile at the fabric store, I walked past it the first time. Then I thought about it. You know when you think back, and say, “Hey, I should have bought that!”?? Yeah, so OF COURSE, I went back to buy it. Leggings, are my normal pattern that I […]
This is an entire outfit that I made. The snake print leggings are made from a stretch twill and then I made the knit tunic, too. I added designs I drew onto the shirt. I draw them by hand, scan into Photoshop and then I can manipulate them a bit (lengthen, widen, add designs together). […]
