Due to an active weekend of activities, parties and traveling…I didn’t get a chance (or energy!) to get anything sewn. Currently, this is a work in process on my sewing table. I will have to rip it all apart or start over with new fabric as the zipper and sides aren’t meeting up right. I […]

I have been meaning to make myself a new laptop bag for work for so many months. My current bag does not fit my laptop because it is a large size (13″ wide). I also wanted the bag to fit some work for bringing home, if needed. I have needed it several years, but just […]
I saw a tutorial online for one of these and I wanted to make one for the entertaining room in the basement. I think the tutorial stuffed it with batting, but I really wanted to stuff it with the many, many fabric scraps that I have. It also gives it some durability, so an adult […]

Vacation sewing – clothes for me
By Stacy on December 29, 2011I got a chance to use some more of that fabric that has been sitting in my closet for a long time. For these first two tops I used a shirt I had bought as the pattern. This first one is using a sweater knit. It is a thinnish sweater, so it definitely needs something […]

Vacation Sewing – clothes for the little miss
By Stacy on December 27, 2011I spent the first few days of vacation last week working for a bit. That was fun. Not! Anyways, after getting a few things out the door for work, I was able to concentrate on the LOADS of sewing stuff I hadn’t been able to get to lately. First up was finishing the teacher gifts. […]
Nothing too exciting to show, but I thought I would prove that I have sewed a bit more things in the last few weeks. The Boy needed some new pants. He loves warm and cozy fleece pants (who doesn’t???), so I made him three pairs of fleece (he’s wearing the gray ones with his Halloween costume […]
My To-Do list is acquiring epic proportions. Thanks to Pinterest. Thanks also to my lack of getting anything done lately. Thankfully, I squirreled away some time across a few weekends to get a few things off my I-want-to-try-this list. Project #1 I had these tiles left over from tiling the kitchen a few years ago. […]
After thinking long and hard about what I wanted to do for the Christmas card this year, I finally figured out what I wanted to do. This, of course, meant I needed some articles of clothing to bring my vision to fruition. This was a dress that I hadn’t worn in a few years. I […]
Me: I made you some cartoon pants! They are pretty cool, huh? Anya: Mommy, that IS NOT a cartoon. Me: So sorry…COMIC book pants. Still cool. She wore them (even though they WERE NOT cartoon pants), albeit grudgingly. When she got home she asked me to make a comic book shirt to go with them. […]
I cut these up a good month ago, and finally got around to making them. He was excited for the “army pants”. He even had a shirt that already matched! I cut these pockets too low, so next time I will have to move them up. The other pants are denim and a stretch twill. […]
