Here is another designs I made. This one is probably going to be worn the most! Striped Flowers in Lavender – This is a mixture of Iris, Roses and Dahlias in the same shades. This was printed on Satin, and scaled to print at 4″ x 4″. The satin is a bit thin, so I like […]
The last few years our gardens have not been as happy as they once were when we actually had time to pull weeds. When they were happy, I loved to plant pretty dahlias and Iris flowers. Then, I took pictures of them! I took some of the many pictures of my flowers (and some of […]
I have another pattern test for you today. This is the Slouchy Sweatshirt from Nap Time Creations. It is a nice easy sew, and a fairly simple pattern. I wanted to make some easy to wear tops like this, and the pattern test came up. Perfect timing! I made lots! This first one here I […]
I just had to make another infinity scarf, since I love the first one so much. This time I used a less dense yarn, so it took the entire two skeins (94 yards each) for this scarf. It ended up at around 22″ wide. In making these two different ones, it seems that the thickness […]
This is one of those projects that you can start and stop until you finally, finally, get the danged thing finished. It takes a several hours to do the knitting on the scarf part. I do actually like to have something to do when I am sitting on the couch watching TV. Otherwise, I feel so unproductive. […]
I wanted a not-huge laptop bag, so I decided to use my tough cow-hide that I had purchased in the spring. I had made a handbag for my Grandma with it, but it just about killed my machine. I had to get it serviced after sewing up that bag. I decided to hand stitch this […]
We have another tester pattern for Simple Life Pattern Company. It was released today, and you can find it here. This is the Saige Dress, and I rather like how it was put together. It is a knit, with a lined bodice, so you can use some thinner knits on it. If you do use […]
My niece gave birth to an adorable little baby boy in March, and I sewed up a few things for him at the time. Today there was a Sip and See for everyone to meet the little guy, since they moved back up north from Tennessee. Yay! My Sister-in-law (the grandma) gave me some pieces […]
I decided I needed to make my kids some clothes to wear for our family pictures. I was waiting for peak Fall colors and wanted to go with colors that had browns, olive greens, tans, etc. Of course, I decided this when I didn’t have a lot of time to get it done. I […]
I am part of several Facebook groups that deal with sewing and fabric. On one of the fabric groups, there are ladies that order fabric from manufacturers in China. I thought I would give it a shot, since Spoonflower cannot print a true black on their knit fabrics. It will probably end up being about […]
