Another cold snap – another reason to make these cowls! I love how they turn out, so the many hours that go into knitting them is definitely worth it. Here is my tutorial on how to make these scarves: Loom knitted, leather and snaps infinity scarf tutorial I think I should have made them a […]

Lion damask
By Stacy on September 29, 2016This fabric design was one of the first designs I put together, and I still really love how it turned out. I think one of the designs looks like a lion. Do you see it? I printed this on the cotton lycra at Spoonflower, and it didn’t print out a true black. You can see […]
Dragon scales
By Stacy on September 28, 2016I loved this fabric when I saw it on Affordable Fabrics and More’s website, but I wasn’t sure what to make with it. We are kind of growing out of these kinds of prints, but I thought I could make something fun. I only bought one yard, since it is pretty spendy fabric. I was […]
I remember the 80’s well, as I spent my most awkward years during the extra large bangs, neon and bleached dyed jeans era. As most of us girls that grew up during that era can attest, if you were to drop a lit match on the floor of the bathroom, the whole place would ignite […]
Ode to the skort
By Stacy on September 20, 2016Oh skorts, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! #1 My girl is active and doesn’t like to be ladylike. She crawls on the floor, likes to run around, and doesn’t want to worry about showing her underwear. #2 Due to #1 above, she really has a hard time wearing skirts. She […]
Over the summer I made a few dresses that were worn quite often. I used the Sneha tunic/dress from Wardrobe by Me for the base of these dresses. These first ones were just the basic pattern, only I added bands to the arms. The bands were 2-3″ shorter than the armscye hole. This first one […]
The start of fall sewing
By Stacy on August 30, 2016The chill isn’t quite in the air here yet, but it is time to start thinking about fall. I have plans for doing a Fall/Winter capsule like the one I put together for spring. The main colors I will be using are going to be black, red and white. This vest fit nicely into that […]
I need to get organized, so I am going to post my ideas for getting some fall sewing done. The girl is in need of pretty much everything. She has grown several inches since last year, so of course, none of her pants fit. I made most of her leggings long, so they kind of […]
In one of my favorite groups on Facebook, we try to help ladies figure out their shape and how to dress for it. I think I have this mainly figured out at 42. I know as I get older it will all change again, though. The Admin, Becca, wanted us to post what we will […]
Cruise around and be a Star with Blaverry
By Stacy on August 15, 2016I absolutely love how this outfit turned out for my daughter. These patterns are the Cruise and Star from Blaverry. I received these for free as part of the promotions team, but all opinions are my own. The Girl has been complaining that she didn’t have enough shorts for summer. I tend not to make […]
