Go Pack Go! Sara at RP Custom Fabrics has a new pre-order up with tartan plaids in team colors. How awesome is that?? I love this idea and had to make up a top for me in the Green, Gold and White Tartan. I didn’t have any matching green, so I went to the closet […]

Summer skirts for a cause with Michael Miller Fabrics
By Stacy on August 22, 2017I recently became a Sewing Portfolio’s Ambassador, who partners with Michael Miller Fabrics.

Free summer tank top
By Stacy on August 4, 2017This was a pattern test for a summer tank top for Orange Daisy Patterns. I liked the coverage, and the fact that she can actually wear this to school.

I used two 25″ rounds […]
The softball season closed out for the girls with a Nationals tournament. These tournaments are more like a regional tournament, where some do come from states away. Fortunately for us, it was just a half hour away. During their first game of pool play, the teams exchange gifts. I made a few things for the […]
Leather tassels on purses can be a great accent. They can go on the zipper, or just hang off the handle. I also use these for my keys. I tend to have large purses, and it is much easier to find my keys when it is attached to a bit of fringe. This is how […]

(click on picture to go to the pre-order for it) I received a few of the smaller round panels, and two that were the same size. I think they […]
I knew June was going to be hard to get into the sewing room, and I was correct. When I did have day or a night that I could work, I was just too tired. The only things I got done were ones with deadlines! My list for July is going to be trying to […]
