Sewing Mamas forum is doing a stash game for September, so I decided I would join in. There isn’t much participation on the forum these days, but I figured it would be something that would give me a push. I do have limited time with the kids’ sports, but I would like to get […]
This is one of those easier to make leather bags. I have made three of these so far. The first two I made were not as wide, and I am having a bit of a problem getting my 5 x 7 journal in it, so I decided to make this one a bit bigger. I […]
Another few weeks, and I am behind again. This summer has been trying, I tell ya. I was hoping I would be a more organized person this year, and lo and behold almost 3/4 of the year is gone. Not sure how that has happened, but time is going at warp speed right now. Next […]
If you have followed my sewing much, you will know that I tend to draft a lot of the patterns that I sew. I love being able to sketch something out, and then turn it into a piece of clothing. Drafting patterns is not rocket science, but experience in sewing does really help. The basics […]
Week 31 was officially the end of summer ball. The boy was in an all star tournament, and they did fairly well. They ended up 4th place, but it was a not really a full tournament. As per the usual this summer, rain made it hard to play all the games. They ended up […]
Gotta admit…this summer has thoroughly exhausted me. I’m not sure how the kids would have gotten everywhere if I hadn’t been “working” from home. While I did get what I needed done for work, it was definitely affected by my kids activities, with having to work late on many nights when I really shouldn’t have […]

I was offered to sew up these strike-off samples, which are more for a younger child. My kids were well past the age that these printed samples would fit, so I went to the next best alternative…my grand-nephew! My niece’s husband did time in the Army as an EOD specialist (think: Hurt Locker), and now […]
What…is Halloween months away or something?? Yes, I know, but with pre-orders they need to get them ordered by the end of July so they come in on time. This is a pre-order from RP Custom Fabrics and the round is called HalloMas. She has the two holidays combined so she can make sure the […]
I volunteered to test the Bella Sunshine Design’s Sophia racerback top/tunic/dress, and it turned out very nicely for a quick summer top. I made two of them. One for my daughter in a size 2, with the top length. This is nice basic for her wardrobe. I made it in bamboo spandex jersey from Nature’s […]
