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 […]

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 […]
I made this skirt last weekend, along with 2 other ones. I really like how flattering the fit is on me! The one thing I like about being able to whip up clothing is that I can make things that really work with my body type. I am wearing it with a new crossfront knit […]
This print may not be of the bunny named Peter, but it is cute nonetheless. This is another shirtdress that I made for Anya for Easter. A few things I did differently this time: I made a collar stand for the collar. I like it much better this way. I omitted the ruffle attached to […]

By Stacy on March 15, 2011When you can have minky fabric shedding all over the place?? Oh boy, does this stuff shed when it is cut…but it is so heavenly soft! If I were to own a mink coat, I bet it would feel this soft. These are definitely fun gifts to make for little babies. These blankets are for […]
This is a knockoff of a dress that I saw on the Stella McCartney Kids site. It is basically the sundress I have made loads of times, but with the front having lots of gathered pieces. I did a few things differently, but made the front piece basically the same. The Girl would never go […]
Sandra wanted to do a sew-a-long for a shirtdress from Ottobre, so I decided to participate. My caveats for using patterns is that, inevitably, it will be altered to some degree. Shirts are not difficult for me to do at all. I cut my teeth on them. I made many, many rodeo shirts in high school (many, […]
The hubby and I booked a vacation someplace warm…yeeehaw! Of course, that means I will need to don a swimsuit. Oh dear. I seem to have acquired a few extra pounds during this busy season at work due to lack of exercise and lack of self control in eating copious amounts of chocolate, cheese, and […]
The “Euro style” in boutique children’s clothes is comprised of bright colors, embroideries, ruffles and ribbons. It’s usually rather busy. This outfit reminds me a bit of the Euro style. Anya picked out the fabric when she came with me to the fabric store one day. She actually picked the blue as the complimentary color, so […]
