Well, here we are again! This week we are supposed to upcycle from a ready made garment. I wasn’t sure what I had and thought I would have to go to a thrift store to find something. That would have negated my intention to not buy ANYTHING for this contest, as I have way too […]
This week’s challenge for Project Run and Play is to design your own fabric. For me this is not such a stretch, as I have a Spoonflower shop of fabric I have designed from my scribbles. I think the current blog background I made would make a pretty fabric design, too. Here are a few […]
Well, hey there! Here we are kicking off Skirt Fixation’s Adult Create Week 1. The theme this week is nature inspired, so I finally, finally am sewing up this piece of fabric I got from a world traveler friend. She and her family are in the foreign services and were stationed in Mozambique at the […]
Ah yes…yet another Spring Break where we are NOT going someplace warm. That is the sucky part of being an accountant this time of year. I am still working on getting tax returns out to people and it is quarter-end. Fun times, fun times. In honor of warmth that we will receive in about 2 […]
This is the first week of sewing along with Project Run and Play, and the theme this week is zoo-inspired. I had a few zebra things in the stash, so this was a pretty easy one to do for me. I found a super cute zebra design in the Silhouette store, had some zebra minky and […]
Well, I have been sewing, but we have also been a bit busy over here. The Boy had his 4th grade performance, whereby we all got to listen to the wildly entertaining, and often off-key, recorders. Then we saw something more musically thrilling: Imagine Dragons! That was a fun concert, though it was on a school […]
More stuff for the Girl! This was a pretty simple little outfit and a transition piece. The lace-like fabric on the arms will be good when it starts warming up a little bit. She was not happy with it when she wore it this day, though. It was a bit chilly. Negative degrees in MARCH. […]
The Girl is just a little bit obsessed with The Warriors book series. It takes her a week or two to read each book, and she is about done with the first series of 6 books. We have bought her the next series of 5 books. She is in 3rd grade and reads at a 4th […]
So, yeah…not quite sure what to call this thing. I have a similar style shirt in a knit that I purchased. It is black and knit and is a great layering piece. I copied the lines of that shirt, with some additions after seeing this CAbi shirt-jacket: It really is a nice piece. It is […]
I finally got up the nerve to sew up a proper lined blazer. They are a lot of work these things. I had to tell myself to take my time and not rush through it, since I like to sit down and get through a project start to finish in one sitting. That didn’t happen […]
