The girl is currently playing volleyball, and she also has gymnastics on Saturday mornings, so she asked me to make her some pants that would go over those clothes. It is coooooooollllddd out there, man. So cold, my car battery died on me on Tuesday. It has been sitting outside since the 2nd of January […]

The holidays tended to go quite fast this year, and I didn’t get pictures taken of everything I made for everyone. I made a few gifts: – A white fur minky infinity scarf. It was very plush and the gift recipient was quite pleased. – A white fur minky/Zebra fur minky cowl. It was a […]
There was another call for pattern testing that looked like something I might like to wear, so I held my hand up. There were a few issues with the bodice, but she got it figured out with help from the testers. That pleat detail was more involved that you would think it would be! Here […]

Tween all the way
By Stacy on September 22, 2014Today I am guest posting over on the Oliver & S blog, showing how to tween-ify some of their patterns that go up to a size 12.
