I knew June was going to be hard to get into the sewing room, and I was correct. When I did have day or a night that I could work, I was just too tired. The only things I got done were ones with deadlines! My list for July is going to be trying to […]

Today is day 4 of the Sew Americana tour, and I am sharing an outfit with a baseball theme. What is more Americana than baseball? In the past I used to make my kids 4th of July outfits when my parents had a big 4th of July party. Now, we are lucky if we do […]

This was kind of fun to sew up! The constellation fabric for the skirt is on pre-order at RP Custom Fabrics. This sample is the 58″ round on bamboo lycra. She has a few other round panels, and they come in various sizes. The girl claimed it when she saw it, so I had to […]
When RP Custom Fabrics offered up these strike-offs for sewing up, I knew my time would be at a premium. Unfortunately, this past week and upcoming week, we are in the thick of games and tournaments.

The owner, Christie, asked for strike off seamstresses, and I happily volunteered. Pre-order for Skyrim Upon receiving the panel, the design looked a little long. […]
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. […]
