This is version #2 of my lined pencil skirt. It is a very pretty brocade with gold leaves. I lined it in black china silk, and added a walking vent. The original pattern didn’t have that, and what the heck was up with that?? Pencil skirts need those things or else you are just about […]
This skirt is tight. Like I need Spanx underwear and control top tights TIGHT. Those 10 pounds, I tell you. I get that under control and maybe this will be more comfy. The zipper is seriously pulling here, but I just need to have something long over the back…like a long sweater. Winter layers […]
It is hard to tell, but the fabric on this skirt is SHINY. I love it. It is so comfy. Of course, I washed it after making it and part of the waistband came undone. GRRRRRRRR! Now I need to take out my FAVORITE (NOT!) sewing implement…the seam ripper. *sigh* This is my “go to” […]
I have a big place in my heart for Western looks. I grew up on a farm and competed in rodeos, so I have some history there. Of course, now I live in a city. I’m one of those City People. I am so far away from my roots now, I can barely see the […]
Look here…another cross-front top! This one I cut a bit too tight and it just didn’t lay right. Under a sweater it goes! Wintertime is good for hiding shit. Like those extra 10 pounds I have gained this past year. *sigh* Being in shape and keeping the weight down gets harder and harder. Guess it […]
I love cross front tops. They tend to be slimming and figure flattering. They make the girls look pretty good, which at my advanced age of “40”…’tis a good thing. I got a piece of lycra-polyester blend fabric that had a handkerchief print on it. I wasn’t sure quite what I wanted to do with […]
I have been sewing lately, so I will get some posts together for things I have made! First off, I have a few new purses I made from a pleather alligator fabric. I LOVE both of these bags. Seriously. I carry them everywhere with me. I used the basic outside measurements from bags I already […]
One of my goals in looking at all my “work worthy” fabrics was to sew up some nice lined skirts. You know…ones that have zippers and darts and linings and hand-sewn hems. The hard ones! I finally took out an old pattern, and sewed it up. This is from a gray suiting fabric with china […]
Recognize this sparkly pleather fabric? I had a bit left over from my purse, so I used it to make a new laptop bag that matches. I am all about being matchy-matchy! Unfortunately, I made a few mistakes while I was constructing this purse. First off, I thought I had a black lining fabric. Turns […]

An infinity scarf with a leather snapped closure – A tutorial
By Stacy on December 13, 2013
I saw this scarf on Pinterest, and thought it was a really cool concept. I love the leather with the snaps for an infinity type of scarf. I had some really pretty quilting cotton that I thought would work GREAT for this project. I also had some black, ugh…I can’t think of what this type of […]
