So LAST YEAR at the Sewing Mama’s retreat I made this shirt. It was the first thing I made, and I loved how it turned out. I got home and the Little Miss tried it on. Too tight in the sleeves. *sigh* I thought that I had put it downstairs on my sewing table. When […]

This shirt is one that I sewed up at the retreat. I copied it off a RTW shirt that I had in my closet that was getting faded and had some holes in the front. I had it all cut out ahead of time, so I just had to sew it up when I got […]

Tie-dye vs. the monsoon
By Stacy on June 25, 2014I made this lovely little knit/stretch lace capri joggers for the Girl to tie-dye at the camp. I used parts of an Ottobre pattern, but the legs on it are a bit off. I will need to adjust that a bit next time I use that pattern. The white lace on it is the same lace as […]
Today I am over at Gracious Threads for her Embellish is for Boys series with this outfit for the Boy. Notice how dry our backyard is in this photo? Yeah…that is SO NOT THE CASE right now. I am guessing we have had 5-7 inches of rain overnight and into mid-day today. Our backyard is […]
I decided to participate in Project Run and Play’s season this time for the sew along. The first week was pattern remix, where you were supposed to make your take on a bias cut skirt. This is quite a leap from that skirt, but still has to do with bias cuts. I am also late…like […]
For the last several years, I take the week of Labor Day off of work and hunker down and make the kids’ winter wardrobes. Labor Day means the opposite for me, than for everyone else. Apparently. This year is no exception, and I will begin to create clothes to garb our offspring. Kailan will need […]
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…
The past few weeks have been crazy busy. Example: Last week was quarter-end, which basically means I have to work a lot to get the financials done in a short amount of time. On top of that I needed to get the tax returns done so that my bosses are able to file their returns, […]

You can never have enough dresses
By Stacy on October 13, 2009At least that is what Anya probably feels like. Well, I guess I do, too, since I have so much fun making them. 😉 I actually made this dress a few weeks ago and forgot I hadn’t posted it yet. It didn’t get posted with the rest of the sewing frenzy because when Anya put […]
I wanted to make Anya a new dress for picture day at daycare last week. I had two all cut up and ready to sew, so I knew I could get it created within a few hours. I started sewing it at 9:25 and finished at 11:35pm…and it was hanging on her door for picture […]
