Anya was invited to a birthday party last Friday and I decided to make the little girl a dress. As a general rule, I do not do this. I just don’t know how it will be received and if it will fit and if the parent will think, “ewwww…homemade clothes are so 1950’s!” Anya picked […]

Anya perused my fabric stash and came across this silky, velour-like, shiny blue fabric. Now, she is not normally one to stray from her chosen fabric color (PINK), but the shiny just called to her. We paired it with some of the last bits of this soft, furry fabric, and sat down to design a […]
I seem to be really gravitating towards blue these days. Maybe because I feel the need for a bright cheery color, especially as winter is going to be coming here soon. This sweater is a purchase from a consignment store. There are two in my town, and the store I bought this one from touts […]
So on Wednesday I realized that I hadn’t put anything into Anya’s class basket for the PTO Carnival that was to be held that Friday. The theme was “Crafting with Kids”, so what did I make? Yes! You guessed it! (How smart you are!) I made another art purse/satchel. I asked Anya to help me […]
This blanket is for the little man of one of our friends. He was born early at 30.5 weeks and had spent a bit of time in the NICU getting stronger every day. He is now at home and they are keeping him away from all the germies. I am going to get this nicely […]
New shooooooesssss!! I know some people may think that red shoes are only for little girls and prostitutes, but I respectfully disagree. Especially when they are this awesome.

It just works pretty darn well for me. I have some rather blue eyes, so when I wear blue it really bring them out. I’ve had people ask me if I wear contacts, but no…I got them from my grandpa. This year I saw these awesome blue shoes by Fergilicious. They have a slight platform, […]
Well, finally! I had Sunday set aside as a day I wanted to work on some sewing projects. Of course, it was nice out, and I was sewing away in the COLD basement. Gah! I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, but I was still relatively successful in cranking out some […]

Stylin’ little man
By Stacy on September 21, 2010Sewing for boys is difficult. It isn’t difficult in the way of execution. Pants and t-shirts are pretty much their garb, and that isn’t all that difficult to sew. It is difficult in creating something with a little extra design goodness that doesn’t go over the top. I’m not very good at subtle. When I was […]
