I didn’t get much sewing in this weekend, as I was pretty far behind on housework (i.e. Mount Laundry). I also had a photoshoot downtown on Sunday and had to edit pictures from a shoot the previous weekend. I have mostly decided to only take a few shoots on a year, and after those fill […]

This summer our friends adopted a little boy, and I was so happy to hear it. I took pictures of their blessing ceremony a few years ago, and I know they will make wonderful parents. As usual, I’m nothing if not timely in making presents. This only took me a few months to get around […]
This is the last of the full outfits for Anya. I may have more forthcoming, but I should sew something for Kailan and then maybe me. This first outfit is a flowerly camo knit with lycra. The green is just a regular cotton knit. The place where I buy fabric has a bit limited lycra selection. […]
Note to self: Next time make her brush her hair before taking pictures. Next in the sewing parade is a few more outfits that I was trying to use unusual and fun fabrics to make them more…FUN. This is due to the “no dresses or ruffles” policy that has been instituted by the small blonde […]
Apparently we have reached that age whereby clothes must be cool. At least for the Girl. My other offspring is a boy, and thusly, really doesn’t care. She said this outfit was in the “cool” category. The pants are made from a stretch twill with burgundy taffeta used for the flower appliques. I made the […]

By Stacy on June 13, 2011I didn’t get much done on the sewing front this past week. I worked out every day last week, so that was my excuse. I did get a project done that had been waiting for a year. I spray-painted some picture frames and put my wall of pictures back up after taking them down when […]
When I was in college I bought a pretty little cheap suit at TJ Maxx. I got rid of it at one point, but I still miss it. It had a jacket with a flounce all the way around and a pencil skirt. I would certainly wear the jacket now, but the skirt probably didn’t […]
My next inspiration dress comes from Chasing Fireflies. They have tons of pretty girly dresses. This dress was done in denim and retails for $238 (ouch!). Very pretty with lots of detailing, so I can understand why it is spendy. (click on picture to go to website) I wanted to do a similar dress, though […]
