I decided I need a new purse for the trip, so I did a new fabric design. I wanted it to fit my camera, a wristlet and some books for the flight and for carrying around. First I figured out the dimension that I wanted the purse to be, and then I designed the fabric and […]
Right? It’s getting there. Sloooowwwwwly but surely we will have some warmth. In about 2 months. I cut out these shorts late last summer, but never got around to making them. They are from a Built by Wendy pattern. The back flaps in the pattern are not real pockets, so I changed it by adding real […]
This skirt was a fail in the sewing department. The seams are bunchy and the hem is uneven. Still…I wanted to wear it at least once since I spent so much time on the making of it. I should have just cut a simple skirt on the bias and that would have worked so much […]
The kindergarteners were supposed to have yellow shirts at school, and Anya didn’t have a yellow shirt. I did what I usually do…make something for her. Unfortunately, she wore it and it was still in the wash on the day she needed to have it. Of course! Luckily Kailan had a yellow shirt (with one of […]
This hairstyle is good in multiple ways. If I do it when my hair is wet and fresh from the shower, the next morning I just take them out of the braids and they are all nice and kinky. Instant hairstyle! I did have a shot of the style from behind, but I didn’t realize […]
I’m looking forward to Spring, but unfortunately we still need to wear sweaters around here. Hopefully, soon… Skirt – me Black top – me Sweater – Ann Taylor Loft Jewelry – Silpada Shoes – shortly to be in the trash. The bottoms are coming off. 🙁
Today in our society there is a decidedly casual atmosphere. Jeans and t-shirts are the order of the day, with a few yoga pants thrown in for good measure. If you work in an office, there are few and far between that still wear suits on a daily basis (law offices and high finance seem […]
One skirt pattern, that is. I used the pattern from this skirt to make these skirts. One thing I did differently is that I made the top part into a double-lined piece. It is essentially a “tummy-tuck”. The fabrics I used all had a bit of stretch to them, so this extra fabric around the […]
Musings | weight loss
My husband probably *almost* wishes I hadn’t lost the weight
By Stacy on March 26, 2011I am in a quandry. I apparently can’t go window shopping without buying the window. Often I want to just go try on clothes because I like clothes. I think to myself, “Don’t buy anything today!” I can usually manage to not buy. Unless it is jeans. For some reason I have a hard time […]
This was a quickie skirt I made on Sunday afternoon. I was itching to get something sewn up for me, and decided to do a remake a skirt I had repurposed in junior high. That skirt is still in my closet, though a bit tight and a little bit short. I still wore it to […]
