This is a pretty simple outfit, but the main feature is the pockets on the pants. Pockets are always good. I drafted it to put elastic in the top and then gather the bottom. I wanted it to lay flat, but work on a heavy knit. The bottoms here are french terry bamboo knit and […]
The last few years have been quite…trying. Some health issues left me anemic and with low iron, so I had no energy, really. I have not been actively sewing since really around the time Covid hit. I mean…I sewed a bunch of masks, but not a lot of pleasure sewing. I used to sew, if […]
We have outdoor furniture that we occasionally use. The cushions were old and stained (dark mold) and they needed to be updated before a certain kid’s graduation party last year. That did not happen, and I embarrassingly had to use the horrible stained cushions with non-removeable covers that could not be washed. Yuck. I did […]
Pink prom dress
By Stacy on May 21, 2023So last year my daughter said she wanted a dress about a month before prom, but then didn’t say anything more. Like…I need to know fabric, style, etc…are you still going?? Finally, a few weeks before prom, after hemming a friend’s daugther’s prom dress, she asked, “Am I going to get a prom dress?” Seriously, […]
Catching up on some posts that I should have made! I did share this on Instagram when I made it…well, after I gifted it. I drew my sister-in-law’s name for Christmas this year, and I had noticed that her purse handle was hanging on by a pin. I asked her if she would like me […]

What he wanted for his costume: Leather jacket Spauldrons (shoulder armor) New pants A hood that was separate from the jacket Arm greaves Back carry belt for a sword Leather Jacket The main thing he wanted was a leather jacket with the arm spauldrons. […]
Every few years I have to make new costumes for my kids. I am hoping that is at the end as they are full grown people now. My son’s costume really did need a remake, but my daughter did have some room yet for hers. However…they both wanted new costumes this year, and I, of […]
Satin slip dress
By Stacy on August 16, 2022My daughter wanted a satin slip dress, so I set about drafting a pattern for her. I purchased some satin in one of my patterns from Spoonflower: It started out with more of a fitted top, but I didn’t think that it was going to fit correctly, so will draft a different version…eventually. I gathered […]
I promised a prize for a sewing contest with my Sewing Mamas group of sewists, and finally got around to making it. I gave the winner a choice of leather colors and she chose the kelly green. I think this is a lambskin…it has been awhile since I purchased it. This is my leather bag […]
A Celtic-ish Bucket Purse
By Stacy on April 29, 2022After I made the last bucket purse, I wanted to make another one with my own fabric. I ordered a couple of my designs on different canvas fabrics from Spoonflower. This one is my celtic phoenix design. I also made it a little bigger than the last one. This time it did drive me to […]
