Today is day 4 of the Sew Americana tour, and I am sharing an outfit with a baseball theme. What is more Americana than baseball? In the past I used to make my kids 4th of July outfits when my parents had a big 4th of July party. Now, we are lucky if we do […]
This was kind of fun to sew up! The constellation fabric for the skirt is on pre-order at RP Custom Fabrics. This sample is the 58″ round on bamboo lycra. She has a few other round panels, and they come in various sizes. The girl claimed it when she saw it, so I had to […]
Of course, that does not preclude me from volunteering to sew up samples. I currently have several strike-offs sitting on my sewing table that need to be sewn up. One is finished, but I do not have an available model. She has softball just about every night this week, so tomorrow I will have to […]
When I saw that Sugar Ink Fabric was planning a Skyrim/Elder Scrolls round, I knew at least two of my peoples would be interested in this fabric. I was correct! The owner, Christie, asked for strike off seamstresses, and I happily volunteered. Pre-order for Skyrim Upon receiving the panel, the design looked a little long. […]
I like a good theme-centric project to get my wheels turning. This one was related to the intended fabric, which was inspired by the 1996 movie, The Craft. The plotline was centered around a group of girls that aspired to be witches, and luckily it was actually on Netflix so I could reacquaint myself with […]
Here we are at week #3, and my pictures from last week. I have a hard time getting pictures during the weekends. This weekend was super, super busy, too, so it just didn’t happen for the most part. Day #8 Draped shirt – not blogged Animal print skirt – can’t find the blogpost – I […]
Ah yes, we have finally entered upon full on baseball and softball season. It is 5-7 nights a week of either practice or games. If it is practice, I can usually get something done, since we carpool with another family for baseball (hubby is the softball coach, so he is on for that!). During April […]
Oh, Zenith & Quasar Fabric, how much do I love thee? It’s not just because Lilly gives me free fabric, though that is kind of cool. It is because her panels look like this: You can actually make a matching back to your shirt out of her panels! It is a whole yard (for adult […]
Look! I sewed something for my son! Poor kid gets so very neglected in the sewing room. This was a strike off sewing sample for Stardust Textiles. It is part of a new round of pre-sale fabrics that focuses on space shows (Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Star Trek). I was late to the […]
It has been awhile since I made a blazer, and Wardrobe by Me was going into testing for one. The timing was less than ideal. I had already committed to doing some sample sewing and another test, and then I had a funeral. I was soooooo very glad when I got this finished. It turned […]
