I finally used up some of my cotton woven fabric that had been getting dusty, and made these two summer dresses up. These will be headed to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation as a part of the charity Sew for Kids. The group tries to get some nice summer clothes to the kids that they […]
I love damask, which really shouldn’t be a surprise since I draw it quite often! This damask print is part of the current round open at RP Custom Fabrics and it is inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The other prints are closer to a Tiffany blue, though. This one seems to be closer to a […]

80’s revival
By Stacy on May 1, 2017
A few years ago I sewed up my girl an outfit inspired by Kira from The Dark Crystal. She still wears it, too, and wants more like it. Naturally, when Moonbeam Textiles created an 80’s movie inspired round including The Dark Crystal, and this order came up to sew up the samples, I jumped on […]
Ah yes, we have finally entered upon full on baseball and softball season. It is 5-7 nights a week of either practice or games. If it is practice, I can usually get something done, since we carpool with another family for baseball (hubby is the softball coach, so he is on for that!). During April […]

She sent me a 1/4 yard of the coordinate and an adult panel of Maleficent. I didn’t think that the coordinate went as […]

While I was waiting for the pre-order to come in for Sports Stitches at RP Custom Fabrics, this strike off sample came up on a charity auction. I just couldn’t wait, so jumped on the chance to buy it. That was at least a month ago, and I just didn’t have time to tackle it. […]
