I love maxi skirts, but I always make sure I have some sort of fitted top when I wear them. Otherwise they just seem “too much”. Here are two of them that I made in the last few weeks… I decided to make a skirt to match a pink top I had made (before trying […]
As I only seem to take pictures of outfits that I have made recently, I will post them! I love, love, love this shirt. I would love it even more if it was a smidge bigger, but as I plan on *hopefully* losing a few pounds before summer…it should fit better then. It is a […]
I was trying really hard not to buy any fabric, but then I had to go to the fabric store to get some zippers. Yep, just some zippers. I should have gotten out of there for under $10. Of course, they didn’t have the zippers I needed, but they did have lots of fabric on […]
Making patterns and the sewing frenzy
By Stacy on March 10, 2012I don’t think it is any surprise that I like to make my own patterns most of the time. This saves me money in the grand scheme of my sewing, but it also saves a bit of frustration. I have had many times where the article of clothing doesn’t fit after sewing it up […]
This outfit is sorta from something she picked out of a catalog (Garnet Hill). She wanted some shorts and a top, but I did them in different colors and slightly different styles. The shorts are linen, so they should breathe nicely this summer. It was just a simple shorts pattern, with a ruffle added along […]
Well, it was more sewing for Anya this week. This first one is a “sorta” tiered-maxi skirt for her out of fabric that I have had in my stash for quite awhile. I made a maternity skirt out of it, originally, and this skirt used up the rest of the fabric. It isn’t a stretchy material, […]
A twirly summer dress…another knockoff
By Stacy on February 20, 2012When I saw this dress in the CWD Kids magazine, I thought it would be a great summer dress for her. She even agreed! It is a mix of knit and woven, so I have a placket on the back. The neck binding is woven, and I figured that it needed extra give on the […]
I did end up getting a few more dresses sewn up, so I will post my other outfit that I made for Anya last week. No pictures of her in it, yet. I’m sure I will get some this summer, though. I bought some chiffon knit on fabric.com to sew up some cute little skirts […]
I actually did get some sewing in this week, amazingly enough. Of course, that meant that I did not work out much at all because I can’t sew in the evening AND work out. Non possible! Here are the fruits of my labor. These dresses are destined for an orphanage in Haiti. The Girl was […]
Due to an active weekend of activities, parties and traveling…I didn’t get a chance (or energy!) to get anything sewn. Currently, this is a work in process on my sewing table. I will have to rip it all apart or start over with new fabric as the zipper and sides aren’t meeting up right. I […]
