During the Thanksgiving holiday I didn’t get chance to get much done at all. Why? Well, I was busy. I took Wednesday off, and we decorated the house for Christmas, as usual. The tree is up and not too many ornaments were broken. I wanted to have a place to put the cards this year, […]

Here I am again…not getting anything off my to-do list. Today Anya is going to a birthday party of another little girlfriend at school. She wanted me to make another dress and again picked out the main fabric for it. I really like how this one turned out. It is a faux cross over top, that […]
Anya was invited to a birthday party last Friday and I decided to make the little girl a dress. As a general rule, I do not do this. I just don’t know how it will be received and if it will fit and if the parent will think, “ewwww…homemade clothes are so 1950’s!” Anya picked […]
Anya perused my fabric stash and came across this silky, velour-like, shiny blue fabric. Now, she is not normally one to stray from her chosen fabric color (PINK), but the shiny just called to her. We paired it with some of the last bits of this soft, furry fabric, and sat down to design a […]
So on Wednesday I realized that I hadn’t put anything into Anya’s class basket for the PTO Carnival that was to be held that Friday. The theme was “Crafting with Kids”, so what did I make? Yes! You guessed it! (How smart you are!) I made another art purse/satchel. I asked Anya to help me […]
This blanket is for the little man of one of our friends. He was born early at 30.5 weeks and had spent a bit of time in the NICU getting stronger every day. He is now at home and they are keeping him away from all the germies. I am going to get this nicely […]
I got some more sewing done for our little guy this weekend DESPITE having a head cold. He now is the proud owner of two more pairs of pants, so hopefully he will be set for a little while. A few weeks worth, I would wager. He’s got a few pants that he is just […]
Well, finally! I had Sunday set aside as a day I wanted to work on some sewing projects. Of course, it was nice out, and I was sewing away in the COLD basement. Gah! I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, but I was still relatively successful in cranking out some […]

Stylin’ little man
By Stacy on September 21, 2010Sewing for boys is difficult. It isn’t difficult in the way of execution. Pants and t-shirts are pretty much their garb, and that isn’t all that difficult to sew. It is difficult in creating something with a little extra design goodness that doesn’t go over the top. I’m not very good at subtle. When I was […]
Yes, today I am showing some clothes for Fall. Even though Kailan probably needs more shorts, he is just S.O.L. Perhaps if he didn’t change in and out them like a teenage girl, he would have more available clothing. Therin lies the trouble…it is his own fault. 😉 Last Fall I cut out a bunch […]
