Welcome to the Suit up for Summer Tour! Over the years, I have made many swimming suits. Sewing swimwear is NOT HARD. I know people get intimidated by sewing them, but it really is much easier than it may appear. Most of the swimsuits I have made over the years have been for my daughter. […]
Here we are at week #3! I am trying not to wear the same thing twice, and that doesn’t appear to be an issue so far. I have a lot of clothes that I have made over the years. This was a very rainy and wet and COLD week, so not much for outside pictures. […]
I like a good theme-centric project to get my wheels turning. This one was related to the intended fabric, which was inspired by the 1996 movie, The Craft. The plotline was centered around a group of girls that aspired to be witches, and luckily it was actually on Netflix so I could reacquaint myself with […]
Here we are at week #3, and my pictures from last week. I have a hard time getting pictures during the weekends. This weekend was super, super busy, too, so it just didn’t happen for the most part. Day #8 Draped shirt – not blogged Animal print skirt – can’t find the blogpost – I […]
I generally try to sew something up for the girl for her birthday, since it is a special day. Having my birthday 2 weeks before Christmas makes you appreciate people actually remembering that you have a birthday. 😉 This was a last minute, start at 10:30pm and finish at 1 am, outfit. The fabric is […]

I finally used up some of my cotton woven fabric that had been getting dusty, and made these two summer dresses up. These will be headed to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation as a part of the charity Sew for Kids. The group tries to get some nice summer clothes to the kids that they […]
I love damask, which really shouldn’t be a surprise since I draw it quite often! This damask print is part of the current round open at RP Custom Fabrics and it is inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The other prints are closer to a Tiffany blue, though. This one seems to be closer to a […]
A few years ago I sewed up my girl an outfit inspired by Kira from The Dark Crystal. She still wears it, too, and wants more like it. Naturally, when Moonbeam Textiles created an 80’s movie inspired round including The Dark Crystal, and this order came up to sew up the samples, I jumped on […]
Ah yes, we have finally entered upon full on baseball and softball season. It is 5-7 nights a week of either practice or games. If it is practice, I can usually get something done, since we carpool with another family for baseball (hubby is the softball coach, so he is on for that!). During April […]
