You were chosen to test a pattern, sewed up a muslin/final product, gave comments and now it is time for final photos. Or maybe you sew up strike-offs, samples, for fabric promotion. You know only the best ones get picked for the online gallery and promotion photos, plus you will be doing some spamming for […]
I never really know how the girl will go when it comes to dresses. Sometimes she loves them and sometimes she is more, “meh…”, and it goes to the back of her closet. I showed her this pattern, and she said she would wear it. I think the pockets sold her on it. Pockets are […]
This is a quick turnaround strike-off sample that I was selected to sew up from a seamstress call at Threaded Candy Customs. These stripes are supposed to go with a Halo gamer print, but these are also great for the summer-at-the-coast vibe. I decided to sew them up into a summer dress. I really, really […]
Look at me, trying to get this post up on time for once! Last week was another trying week. Found out Sunday afternoon that the girl child could play in the high school softball B squad, BUT practice started on Monday, AND she didn’t have a physical on file. We sent her anyways. Learned on […]

I did a last minute sign up for the Spring into Color blog tour set up by Sewing by Ti. This tour centers around the Pantone color palette for Spring 2018. I decided to do the boring classic colors, mostly because I signed up late and they were really the only ones I had on […]
My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – Ummmm…yeah. I got nothin. Sewing – My 52 week sewing challenge for the week was to sew with buttons. I think the intent is to tackle buttonholes. I’ve made plenty of buttonholes, so I didn’t really feel the need to go in that direction. I had already planned […]
After making these hoodies for myself, the girl wanted something along the same lines. I didn’t go all out with this hoodie, however. I decided to just modify the Foliis pattern I had from Sofilantjes. It was a pretty easy modification. I just cut the back pieces, added a seam allowance and added the pleather/eyelet […]
I have looked at all those super fun bullet journals on Instagram and Pinterest for the past few years, so I decided I wanted to start a journal. They are a blend of tracking your weekly schedule, a to do list, drawing and whatever inspiration you want to put inside one. I started off by […]
