Wow, it has been 3 months since I have posted here. Time sure flies when you have no time (or energy) to do anything crafty. I carved out some time this past week to get a few things sewed up. I also “lucked out” that the girl’s fastpitch tournament ended with a single elimination tournament […]
Sew…where to begin on goals for 2021. I’ll have you know I started writing this in January. It is now March. I have not progressed much on these goals. #1 – This clearly is to buy less fabric and supplies. According to my 2020 annual budget of fabric and crafting supplies, I spent around $1,900. […]
Like I needed to buy more fabric amiright?? Side note: there is still fabric sitting on the floor in front of the closet. I have been doing occasional fabric designs, and as I am no longer buying from custom fabric groups on Facebook, I have turned to buying my own fabrics. Here are some fabrics […]
A year ago, or so, I went with my sister to a horse convention where they had booths of tack. She was looking for a bridle, and they were fairly spendy. I figured that I could make one for her much cheaper. She gave me a couple of old bridles, and they have languished in […]
As I reflect on 2020 creations, I really didn’t get that much done. So much for being able to devote time to my hobbies over the quarantine. We did catch up on on a lot of movies and tv series, though. Here is what I accomplished for sewing, for the most part. I know there […]
On the next installment of things I have been meaning to make for years, are these yoga pants I have had pinned on Pinterest: I don’t want to make them so wide-legged, and I wanted a higher, different waistband. I purchased a heavy bamboo lycra from Nature’s Fabrics for this project (380 GSM). This needs […]
Who needs more drama, amiright? There seems to be enough in the world today! In an effort to stop watching the news and the unfolding angst in my Facebook feed I decided I needed to get into my sewing room and use up some of that fabric I have been hoarding. Self care right here. […]
My teenage daughter came to me less than 2 weeks before Halloween and wanted to replicate an outfit in a music video from one of the Korean bands she likes. It was this jacket by R13, and is sold out. Not that she could buy it. It was around $900 retail. This required going to […]
I don’t know about the rest of you, but this has not been a successful sewing year. I’m mostly making masks, but I have gotten a few other things made in the last few months. Most nights I am just tired from work and cooking and cleaning. Not a lot of extra energy. Normally I […]
Hey, finally went into my sewing room! As I spend the majority of my day sitting in our home office, with an occasional Zoom meeting and a noon walk around a neighborhood lake, I wanted something comfy and nice looking. The skort pattern is my old standby that I drafted several years ago. I can […]
