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 […]
I 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, […]
When 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 […]
I have been meaning to make myself a new laptop bag for work for so many months. My current bag does not fit my laptop because it is a large size (13″ wide). I also wanted the bag to fit some work for bringing home, if needed. I have needed it several years, but just […]
I saw a tutorial online for one of these and I wanted to make one for the entertaining room in the basement. I think the tutorial stuffed it with batting, but I really wanted to stuff it with the many, many fabric scraps that I have. It also gives it some durability, so an adult […]
