I was doing really well with doing those monthly wrap ups, and then got all behind! Because I got busy! So, here is what I finished for August, September, October and November. These are most of them, anyways. Might be missing a few. August: September: October: November: Whew! As of the end of November, I […]

Little bag
By Stacy on November 27, 2017
On Saturday night we were going to go to a concert to see A Perfect Circle, so I wanted to get a small bag finished up to carry my phone and wallet. I had been meaning to make something like this for awhile now, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. I made […]

Black and white and a little dressy
By Stacy on November 20, 2017
Back in the summer I made my girl a dress that I thought would work for her choir concerts this year. Nope! The girl needed a black bottoms and white top for her choir concert, so back to the sewing machine I went. She said she wanted a “flowy” top and I got to choose […]

City stripes
By Stacy on November 6, 2017
I love the fact that I am at a place in my sewing that I can have an idea and be able to draft patterns to what I want. This doesn’t always mean the execution is easy, though! This jacket was a huge pain the butt, and took most of a day, but I love […]
The girl is on a blue kick recently, so far be it from me to not buy tons of fabric in those colors! I had already purchased this Cascade Supplex from Zenith & Quasar when I volunteered to sew up this sample fabric for the current Fabric Anthropology round. They look pretty perfect together! The […]

Wanderer
By Stacy on October 30, 2017
I love it when a plan comes together! I have been drawn towards greens and love Lord of the Rings prints. Plus it kind of makes my hair look super bright! The cardigan here is made from Leaf Modal Spandex Jersey from Nature’s Fabrics. Disclosure: They sent me this fabric for free, but all opinions […]

A little bit of sass…
By Stacy on October 9, 2017
I’m pretty sure this photo explains the little bit of sass… This is a pretty cute little panel that is up at Rockerbye on pre-order. This round is full of horses, llamas, some jungle creatures and cute coordinates. The pre-order starts today at Rockerbye. The size of the panel here is a child’s panel, […]

Jersey shirt for #footballmom
By Stacy on October 3, 2017
Not one to shy away from fanwear for my kiddos, I happily tested this football jersey top pattern. The test ended up being dropped due to some fit issues, so unfortunately, no pattern at this point to share. Maybe in the future she will finish it up, but not sure if that is in the […]

Blue agate
By Stacy on October 2, 2017
One of the reasons I love Zenith & Quasar fabrics is that she creates fabric with some great images of the world (and galaxy!) around us. This print is created using inspiration from a blue agate. The current round open for pre-order is called the Nature round, and is full of rocks, woods and things […]
