Last weekend, I went on a sewing retreat with ladies from my favorite online sewing board. I have been on that board since 2009 sharing my sewing creations and talking shop with the ladies. It is always interesting to go meet people in person that you have “spoken” to online, as their appearance and voice […]

So…I have sewn a few other things over the past few months, but they are rather unimpressive. I put elastic into these shorts for the Girl. She is a skinny minny, and these shorts didn’t have the button elastic in them. I just opened up the waistband and threaded elastic into them. I got them […]
When I “decide” to draw things that I put on pieces of clothing or purses…I have a very loose idea of what I want. Most of the things I draw in less than a minute. Usually, it takes me about 10 seconds. I am all about being quick. I have bought sketch pads over the […]
On Memorial Day weekend, I wanted to get something done sewing wise. Finally. My sewing room has been missing me. I have been avoiding it lately in favor of either reading, chores or working out. Too much to do and not enough time to do it. Story of our lives, right?? I have wanted to […]

Minky and flannel baby blankets (pssssst…new tutorial!)
By Stacy on March 29, 2013So…I got some sewing done! Whoop, whoop! I even took pictures for a tutorial on how to make one of these bad boys, since I have made so many of them. It is my current favorite baby gift. They are easy and so fuzzy! These blankets take about an hour to make and I would […]
I volunteered to help with a post at Daisy Chain Creations, where she has the series Sowing While you Sew. It is about teaching your kids to sew, which she has had some fun projects. The Girl and I made a tote bag, so come check it out!
More jeans! She wanted a pair of purple pants (amazingly…not black) and luckily I had about 3 yards of purple corduroy. These things are not quick to make, unfortunately. At least now she has some more pants! (Sorry, I quick took pictures and the color is still a bit off. Plus…I am learning a new […]
Hey, I have it done on time! Go me! This week’s theme is an outfit for Valentine’s Day. The Girl is all about hearts, so this is a good one for her. The top is a self-drafted top. I drew up a heart stencil using freezer paper and fabric paint. Then, I filled in one […]
So…yeah…work has been kicking my fanny this year. I have been taking my computer home most days, so sewing at night has not been happening. Now I am really glad that I didn’t get a place in this season’s line up. I would be soooo stressed out! Okay, Week 3 for Project Run and Play […]

A fancy party dress…with horsies
By Stacy on January 10, 2013Well, I managed to complete a dress in time for the first challenge. Despite my seams being all gnarly due to some issue with my tension. Go me! Don’t look at the seams too close! The dress is supposed to be a remix of this dress. While the Princess told me earlier this week that […]
