This was one of the pattern tests I did last week. I was sick all week, so not great timing on my part. I really liked this tunic, though, and the pattern has a ton of options. From George + Ginger: The RuLo Top and Dress is packed with amazing options! Choose from oversized dolman […]

This week was more sporadic. I had Monday off of work, so I spent the day sewing and didn’t take a shower until right before I went to bed. I was also sick all damn week. I got a head cold the weekend before and dang if it didn’t hang on with big hairy paws. […]
A box to catch my pattern weights
By Stacy on January 17, 2018This is a semi-tutorial. I got some pictures, but usually when I sit down at my machine, all thoughts of pictures go out the window as I am sewing. This shows the process moreso. The 52 Week Sewing Challenge group has for this week’s challenge Sew Something to Make Sewing Easier. This was a head […]
Military inspired hoodie
By Stacy on January 16, 2018I have been meaning to tackle another of these hoodie jackets since I made the first one. Knowing how long it was going to take definitely made my hold off on it, though. I ended up putting it in my #makenine challenge so I was sure to get it done! I also saw this jacket […]
I’m on a roll! I work on my Focus post in the beginning of the week, and it helps me to plan on what I want to get done during the week. I edit as I go for what I accomplish (or don’t as it may be!), and it is actually helping me stay on […]
Well last week was a bit of a bear. I worked until 7pm each night, and worked most of the day on Sunday. By the time Monday rolled around again…I was very tired. Luckily I had a bunch of outfits made up in my closet, so it was a bit brainless just to pick something […]
Flouncey Tunic Tutorial
By Stacy on January 9, 2018I wanted to make a nice neutral tunic top, so of course, I went over the top with the details. As I was cutting it out I was wondering if I should have made a different neckline, but I really like how cozy this is with the funnel cowl on it. Details: Pattern used for […]
I am going to add yet another weekly post (OOTD being at the beginning, so not sure how weekly it will end up being). Several years back when I was largely into photography there used to be weekly and annual prompts people would follow to give themselves a creative impetus to go out and take […]
OOTD – Week of January 1, 2018
By Stacy on January 7, 2018Here we are at the beginning of another year! They seem to be going by faster the older I get. Time sure has sped up the last few years. It is hard to believe that I have a teenager and almost a teenager, and that hubs and I will be celebrating 20 years wed this […]
Starting the blogging year off with my last strike-off of 2017, for a round opening today at Moonbeam Textiles. The round is called Fantastic Creatures and it featured this adorable coffee drinking unicorn. Luckily Kris gave us enough time to get these sewn up, as December was just crazy busy. No outside pictures of these…it […]
