I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make my strike-off’s up in, so as I was thinking about it a pattern test came out from Sofilantjes. It is called the Hibernis Cowl Shirt, and it was perfect for this fabric. I wanted to color block, and this just turned out so well for my fabrics. […]
Over my Christmas/New Year’s break I had time to sit and do some loom beading. When I string my loom I tend to try to do as much as I can, since it takes a lot of string to get it set up. So…first I loomed all of these bad boys, and then I put […]
As I didn’t get much done over my annual two week break at the end of the year, I shall give you old stuff! I like to look back and see what I got finished in the past year. It was a fairly decent year, but no where near my most prolific. Stuff for the […]
As part of a charity project for the kids at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, we had a specific challenge to get some boy gifts made up. Since my son has a ton of little cars, this was the perfect gift. I went through the big bin and picked out cars that looked new. It […]
Here is another designs I made. This one is probably going to be worn the most! Striped Flowers in Lavender – This is a mixture of Iris, Roses and Dahlias in the same shades. This was printed on Satin, and scaled to print at 4″ x 4″. The satin is a bit thin, so I like […]
I just had to make another infinity scarf, since I love the first one so much. This time I used a less dense yarn, so it took the entire two skeins (94 yards each) for this scarf. It ended up at around 22″ wide. In making these two different ones, it seems that the thickness […]
We have another tester pattern for Simple Life Pattern Company. It was released today, and you can find it here. This is the Saige Dress, and I rather like how it was put together. It is a knit, with a lined bodice, so you can use some thinner knits on it. If you do use […]
I decided I needed to make my kids some clothes to wear for our family pictures. I was waiting for peak Fall colors and wanted to go with colors that had browns, olive greens, tans, etc. Of course, I decided this when I didn’t have a lot of time to get it done. I […]
I am part of several Facebook groups that deal with sewing and fabric. On one of the fabric groups, there are ladies that order fabric from manufacturers in China. I thought I would give it a shot, since Spoonflower cannot print a true black on their knit fabrics. It will probably end up being about […]
This purse was intended to be taken on a trip last week to Cincinnatti to see our friends that moved there last summer. I was rushing and things were not going well. Finally, I had to just leave it and use an old purse. Not like I didn’t have anything to use, you know. 😉 […]
