One thing with making your own clothes, is that sometimes things just don’t work out. This skirt is one of them. I have remade it FOUR TIMES. I think I finally got a flattering silhouette on it this time. The fabric is a very textural stretch poly that I rather like, so it was worth […]
I made this shirt on Saturday, and decided to wear it to church on Sunday morning. Gave me a good excuse to take pictures of it! Unfortunatley, it decided to turn back into March instead of playing like it was May. I was very, very chilly taking these pictures! I’m surprised you can’t see my breath. […]
The Boy has been asking, and asking, and ASKING me to make him a cushion for his room. I have a bunch of fabric to fill it after my recent sewing binge, so I was able to fulfill his request. Like a good Mommy. 😉 This project is really nice in that it used up […]
Here is the next version and top #7 using this pattern. At least they are all a little bit different! I used two types of fabric on this one. The periwinkle blue is a stretchy synthetic fabric. It could be used as a bottom-weight, if you so desired, as it has a nice thickness. The spotted fabric is a […]
I have been putting my hair up in a lot of braids lately. I LOVE Pinterest for hair inspiration. I am growing out my fringe right now, so I tend to either put it in a braid or curl it with a big curling iron or my straightener. Then I sweep it off to the […]

Twirly summer dress – a tutorial
By Stacy on March 19, 2012Upon finally wearing this dress for more than just a few pictures for me, Anya decided she rather liked it. It is a comfy twirly dress, with the added bonus of a big flower. I rather like it, as well. It isn’t too complicated to make and it mixes wovens and knits together for an […]
I am still attempting to perfect my pattern for the sleeveless, stretch cotton shirt. I redrew the pattern, adding more to the bust, but added it too high up. Of course! Thankfully, I only cut out one with that pattern. I was actually thinking. Here is that first version of the new version. It is made […]
Anya’s upcoming 1st Grade Performance is apparently going to be “How does your garden grow”. I think this would be a great dress for her to wear to it, with all the spring colors and flowers. She told me she prefers the black and white dress I made earlier, though. We shall see… Just in […]
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 […]
