I decided to participate in Project Run and Play’s season this time for the sew along. The first week was pattern remix, where you were supposed to make your take on a bias cut skirt. This is quite a leap from that skirt, but still has to do with bias cuts. I am also late…like […]
When I got up on this morning and looked outside it was really, really windy. The weather gods were blowing in a warm front, and there was a heat advisory that day. Even so…cold office. This outfit marries the two a bit. It is nice and comfortable, but can be made cooler by taking off […]
This morning was a nice Friday. I had slept with the windows open, which always gives me a good night’s sleep. The wonderful crisp air, while snuggled deep in your blankets…truly that is what Fall is all about. I got up from my well-rested sleep and dressed for our casual Friday’s at the office, which […]
I don’t normally post pictures of my kids on this blog, but since it is about style and fashion I thought I would this time. Plus I have a ton of pictures I need to go through for my outfits, and I just haven’t had the time or inclination to sit at my computer to […]

The rockstar clothing S.W.A.P.
By Stacy on September 8, 2012This past week I took my annual first-week-of-school-sewing-bonanza-time-off. I managed to work out most mornings and then do some sewing. Gettin’ stuff done! Whoo hoo! The girl wanted rock star clothes (BLING) and she likes black. This turned into a S.W.A.P. (sewing with a plan). I wanted to have a wardrobe that she could mix and match. […]
I am not one to usually wear scarves in the summertime. Perhaps I am a bit claustrophobic. I have a hard time wearing turtlenecks in the wintertime, too. This is a nice lightweight scarf, though. It was just a bit of a sheer fabric I found in a remnant bin at the fabric store. I […]
I have tried just about every type of crafting/creative endeavor. I love art and creating things. What I didn’t get a chance to do in school art classes, I have tried in my adult life. One of those was making jewelry with gemstones and beads. I’d love to learn how to make jewelry with metals and soldering tools. […]
I finally got a chance to wear this casual outfit. The shirt is a self-drafted pattern and the skirt is an upcycle from a dress that had wayyyyyyy too much cleavage showing. I cut off the top of the dress and just did a simple elastic waist for the skirt. I wore this for a […]
This skirt is one of the first skirts I had made after years of not making much at all for myself. That was probably about 5 years ago, I think. It is a pretty simple skirt in stretch apparel weight fabric with an elastic waist. The shirt was a “sorta copy” of an item I […]
Another morning for simple and not-too-fussy. This top was a rare clothing purchase this year. I have not been buying much in the way of clothing. I go into stores, but then come back out empty handed. I have enough clothes, so I am only really looking to fill in spaces that I think I […]
