It was a fine morning to sashay through the garden. Too bad I had to go straight to work! It would have been nice to just sit on the deck and enjoy a cup of coffee. Instead I had to hurry up my two little ones and get them off to school. This is another […]

Maxi skirt…my new favorite “casual wear” for summer
By Stacy on June 2, 2012I am a big fan of skirts. They are comfy to wear and you still look mildly dressed up in them. I have lots and lots of skirts. That doesn’t mean I can’t make more, though does it?? No. No it doesn’t. Over the last month I made several jersey and stretch poly skirts. I […]
This is almost a maxi dress…because, well…it isn’t a dress. I made the top and bottom separately on this so I can mix or match. I won the fabric from an online message board and it traveled all the way from Germany to land in my little sewing room. Hopefully, I treated it well. I […]
I found this tutorial and thought it would make a great teacher gift, so I got one made up. After making it, I realized I wanted something a bit more substantial. I added handles to it, so you could actually carry it. I added a simple tote and voila…teacher gifts! They do look better in […]
After a brief foray into the 90’s on Sunday, we are back into the 60’s this week. While I am not willing to put on tights, I find that my boots are still in full rotation. This day I managed to wear nothing that I made myself, either. Really!! It really is something of a […]

Almost summer and that image in the mirror
By Stacy on May 26, 2012I have committed a fashion faux pas, apparently. White jeans before Memorial Day. Is that even a current faux pas? If people can wear pajama pants to the grocery store, you would think I could wear white jeans before Memorial Day. These jeans are another CAbi purchase. When I got them, they were pretty snug, […]
I have been wanting one of those comfy knit maxi dresses, but most of the styles in the store don’t do anything for me. I finally figured out a design that would be flattering AND comfy for me. I used two different jersey knit fabrics, a faux leather and lacework appliqué I bought at the […]
Last year, I got a bit punchy after trying on swimsuits at the local retailers, so went to the overpriced department store. I knew they would sock it to me, but I just wanted a swimsuit that would fit! Is that so much to ask? Apparently, the question is cheap, but the suit is not. I […]
I love this dress. It probably helps that I made this dress. It is comfy jersey with a bit of cool with the appliqué back that has some venting for those hot summer days…where I will be sitting on the deck…with my wine. That’s my plan. Dress: made by me Earrings: Silpada Necklace: Claire’s (many […]

An inspired dress for her birthday
By Stacy on May 6, 2012Every little girl wants a floaty gossamer princess dress, right? Especially for her BIRTHDAY, right?? I try to make her a special dress every year for her birthday. I only missed the 1st birthday, but managed at least one special dress for the rest so far… This dress came about from Anya choosing a dress […]
