I was excited to try to make this top: The supplies I used was a lace appliqué and a very light, thin cotton gauze. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find lace like the top above. The piece I found was smaller, but thought it would still work. I drafted a pattern, and made it very drapey and long. […]
It’s that time of year again…time to sew the Girl some swimsuits! The kids are at a real camp in the woods for the next two weeks and they swim everyday. Not sure how warm that pool is right now, though. This is also going to be my June Pinterest project. If you noticed…I didn’t have a […]
This week, I am up over at Gracious Threads (oops, guess it is next week!) for her Embellish is for Boys series. She is showing some great options for making boy clothes more fun! I am showing how to use vinyl iron-on from my Silhouette machine to dress up boy clothes. I bought this stencil from […]
I bought the Girl some jeans from Justice when they went on sale. I concede that making jeans is not my favorite thing to do, though I am getting a bit better at it. Finding decent bottom weights with lycra and fun colors is not the easiest, though. I was just fine with whipping out my […]
Like so many sewing mama’s I am making an Elsa costume. We went to Wizard Con (a comic con), so the kids needed a costume…of course! She wanted to go as Elsa. Big shocker right there. 😉 When looking at Elsa pictures, her dress went from a sky blue to an almost turquoise color. We ended […]
Here we are at the last week! I actually have been destashing this entire time, as I have wayyyyy too much fabric on my shelves! It was bad before, but then the nearest fabric store to me decided to liquidate. Well…then…at 50-70% off it was hard NOT to buy more fabric. I was like one […]
I have been trying to make me some stretch denim capri jeggings. These are the first pair. I can’t get them on. Big time fail right here. On my next pair I added in some space. They ended up being a little too big, so I took some off at the inner seam. […]
Here we are at Week 3 and a touch of vintage! Well, I am not really a vintage dresser, so I had to think of what I wanted to make for this theme. In looking at the different silhouette’s, I do favor the pencil skirts and suit tops of the 40’s. I am not a […]
This week for Project Run and Play, we are supposed to show our signature style. This has evolved for me over time as my kids have outgrown the dressy, special occasion clothes. If I were to make a lovely dress, it would sit in the closet unworn and unloved. 🙁 Right now my signature style […]
The Boy is a little addicted to the game Clash of Clans. It is on Brian’s phone, so he doesn’t get to play it too often. I guess you could say that hubby AND the Boy are playing the game. It is constantly playing, so when hubs is at work he checks on it and tells the Boy how the […]
