You have already seen pictures of this one, but I thought I would describe it a bit… The top is made from organic cotton jersey from Spoonflower. This one printed pretty true to my design, so I was happy about that. It is so nice and soft, too! This will be a great shirt for […]

The last week of Project Run and Play is sewing a signature style. This was tough to figure out. What is my signature style?? First, I was thinking of what I don’t like to make. I don’t like using patterns that EVERYONE seems to be using (i.e. peasant dresses or anything Farbenmix). I want something […]
Holiday wear…a.k.a. princess dress version #501
By Stacy on October 11, 2012This week for Project Run and Play we have Holiday Wear. I kinda missed the fact that it was supposed to be FALL holiday wear, but she can wear this to Thanksgiving just fine. I made the kids some Halloween outfits a few years back if you want to see some Fall holiday wear. Oh, […]
Fall colors
By Stacy on October 4, 2012Well, this week on Project Run and Play, it is boy’s week. I was already planning on making a s.w.a.p. for the Boy, so it fell in nicely. There is sure to be some “boy suits” sewn for this challenge, but usually I try to make clothes that he will actually wear all the time. […]
This week’s challenge for Project Run and Play was to use a white sheet. I had one just sitting there, unused, in the linen closet a few months back, and decided to donate it. Of course! Unfortunately, I had to buy one for this challenge. I got an ultra soft king sized cotton flat sheet […]
For week #2 of Project Run and Play, the challenge was to sew something inspired by a fashion icon. I can only imagine how many entries will have something to do with Audrey Hepburn (a good choice for sure)! I was looking more for designers that inspire me, and no one inspires me more than […]
The rockstar clothing S.W.A.P.
By Stacy on September 8, 2012This past week I took my annual first-week-of-school-sewing-bonanza-time-off. I managed to work out most mornings and then do some sewing. Gettin’ stuff done! Whoo hoo! The girl wanted rock star clothes (BLING) and she likes black. This turned into a S.W.A.P. (sewing with a plan). I wanted to have a wardrobe that she could mix and match. […]
Anya decided that she finally wanted to learn how to sew. I asked her what she wanted to make and she said bike shorts and a top and then a skort and a top. I told her we would start with the bike shorts and go from there. Bike shorts are pretty easy, with just […]
My children are getting terribly neglected, aren’t they? Well, Anya won’t wear some of the many things that she has in her closet, so I ask you…why should I make more? Kai on the other hand doesn’t much care what he wears, and rarely matches. He’s happy with athletic shorts and t-shirts, so that is […]
In the spring I went up to the big fabric warehouse and brought back many pretty pieces of fabric. This was one of them. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very wide, and I only bought 1 yard of it. Normally, I could make a shirt out of 1 yard of fabric, but not when it isn’t very […]
