This is one of those pieces that will get worn all the time. It is fitted at the hips and skims down to flare out above the knee. This is a nice length for this area, since I can wear it in the winter with tights underneath and boots. It will still show my boots, […]
I have been wanting to make this cardigan for quite awhile. It wasn’t the color I would choose, but I loved the flounces. This would have to be flounces and not ruffles, as the gathering would make it horrendous to sew the seams. My plan of attack was to use the WBM basic t-shirt and […]
One of the things I like about sewing up strike-offs of fabrics is that it forces me to be more creative. The other seamstresses are good at what they do, so just making a plain top or something isn’t trying hard enough. I want to make something awesome with the strikes! Awesome it is. She’s […]
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 […]
I recently became a Sewing Portfolio’s Ambassador, who partners with Michael Miller Fabrics. As part of promoting the website and group, we received 3 yards of Michael Miller Fabrics current collections. These fabrics are from the Swirly Girls line. I knew that these fabrics would be destined for some girls at the domestic abuse shelter […]
Here is another seasonal print that is for winter. This print is a kids panel, with a matching coordinate from Zenith & Quasar fabrics. The panel looks like this (print yet to come): 24″ tall x 58-60″ wide cut including: 1 front panel (24″ x 20ish”) 1 back panel, solid color (24″ x 20ish”) 1 […]
This 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. It seems like a lot of summer tops are not geared towards school aged kids and schools clothing standards. Strappy tops and open backs are usually […]
Here is the next print in the Fun Round pre-order at RP Custom Fabrics. This is the round with the signs of the zodiac. I have to admit, I do not have much knowledge in this area. I know my sign, and occassionally read a horoscope, but that is pretty much it. I found these […]
Yes, indeed. I do have more fabric from the Fun Rounds! Arcoiris at RP Custom Fabrics This is the color wheel print, and I decided to make a skort and top with a flounce for the girl. This were really easy to cut with the circular lines in the prints. 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 […]
