On Saturday night we were going to go to a concert to see A Perfect Circle, so I wanted to get a small bag finished up to carry my phone and wallet. I had been meaning to make something like this for awhile now, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. I made […]
Month: November 2017
There are a pair of stretch jeggings I have where I really like the fit of them. They are kind of straight leg leggings, and I wanted to copy them for awhile now. I finally got that done this weekend. When I copy a RTW item I own, I turn it inside out, cover each […]
Black and white and a little dressy
By Stacy on November 20, 2017Back in the summer I made my girl a dress that I thought would work for her choir concerts this year. Nope! The girl needed a black bottoms and white top for her choir concert, so back to the sewing machine I went. She said she wanted a “flowy” top and I got to choose […]
Pretty purple jacket
By Stacy on November 12, 2017Here is my last sample piece for the current round open at Fabric Anthropology (whew! I made 5 this time!). This is the purple watercolor and it is another very pretty color. The watercolor feature makes it have some pretty gradients going throughout the print.

Pink and black

City stripes
By Stacy on November 6, 2017I love the fact that I am at a place in my sewing that I can have an idea and be able to draft patterns to what I want. This doesn’t always mean the execution is easy, though! This jacket was a huge pain the butt, and took most of a day, but I love […]
The girl is on a blue kick recently, so far be it from me to not buy tons of fabric in those colors! I had already purchased this Cascade Supplex from Zenith & Quasar when I volunteered to sew up this sample fabric for the current Fabric Anthropology round. They look pretty perfect together! The […]
Anti-heroes
By Stacy on November 1, 2017The boy doesn’t get much sewing done for himself lately, since he basically just wears t-shirts, a hoodie, and athletic pants. Not super exciting for mama to sew. When this new pre-order round came up at Fabric Anthropology, I knew he would love to get Venom sewed up for him! This pre-order is full of […]
