When you can have minky fabric shedding all over the place?? Oh boy, does this stuff shed when it is cut…but it is so heavenly soft! If I were to own a mink coat, I bet it would feel this soft. These are definitely fun gifts to make for little babies. These blankets are for […]

This is a knockoff of a dress that I saw on the Stella McCartney Kids site. It is basically the sundress I have made loads of times, but with the front having lots of gathered pieces. I did a few things differently, but made the front piece basically the same. The Girl would never go […]
Sandra wanted to do a sew-a-long for a shirtdress from Ottobre, so I decided to participate. My caveats for using patterns is that, inevitably, it will be altered to some degree. Shirts are not difficult for me to do at all. I cut my teeth on them. I made many, many rodeo shirts in high school (many, […]
The hubby and I booked a vacation someplace warm…yeeehaw! Of course, that means I will need to don a swimsuit. Oh dear. I seem to have acquired a few extra pounds during this busy season at work due to lack of exercise and lack of self control in eating copious amounts of chocolate, cheese, and […]
The “Euro style” in boutique children’s clothes is comprised of bright colors, embroideries, ruffles and ribbons. It’s usually rather busy. This outfit reminds me a bit of the Euro style. Anya picked out the fabric when she came with me to the fabric store one day. She actually picked the blue as the complimentary color, so […]
It’s football season! Errr…well, perhaps I’m late.

Did I ever tell you that I was good at procrastination? Well, mainly it was just lack of inspiration. I am highly inspired to stencil lately. Thus, loads of […]
Is it a whale? Is it a shark? We’ll just call it a fish…
By Stacy on February 17, 2011Two sewing posts in one week! I am working on getting a bunch of stuff done right now. My sewing room is a mess, but I am having fun working on projects. I thought I would share these that I got done so far this week. I have two more shirts stenciled for him that […]
I had to do some teacher crafting for Valentine’s Day. I doubt very much that they would want a packet of Fun Dip like the rest of the kids. Yes, I was lazy with the children’s Valentines, per the usual. This is a nice small gift for the teachers and the one teaching assistant. I […]
I felt like doing some more freezer paper stencils, so last Saturday I sat down and drew out some designs. This first design is for me. Michaels had a sale on their adult t-shirts, so I bought a few of them. Unfortunately, they are a bit tight. This is a medium and it fits more […]
Today we are cheering for our team in the Super Bowl. At the same time having up to 40 odd people in our house. I better get back to cooking…
