Well, I finished up my scarf this past week and it is a bit short…so, it goes to the girl. She was happy to have her scarf and I got a happy modeling shot of her with her new hat and scarf. Yay! She’s smiling and not being temperamental! Yes, the picture is not phenomenal, […]

I had grand plans for this holiday 4-day weekend we had. I got into my looms a bit more than I planned and I made 2 sets of armwarmers, a hat for Kai, a hat for me, a little neck scarf/collar thingy and I have another scarf half done on the loom. I also made a […]
Stuff for me this time. I actually only made the skirt this week, and the top and wrap are from past stuff I’ve done but never photographed. It’s really hard to photograph stuff for me since I generally have barely enough time to get ready in the morning, much less take a photograph. I went […]
I have one baby blanket done and delivered. His Daddy is a hunter, so I thought they would like this one. Those little froggies are so cute, too! This is flannel and minkee with a satin border: I made one princessy-tulley-shiny dress. I’m not completely happy with how it turned out, but not sure I’ve […]
Well, yet again this past week was busy. I did manage to eek out a few pair of pants for Kailan. I have two more pair cut up for him that I need to get made yet. Then I made the kids their treat bags, too. That was super simple, so I won’t profess any […]
A sewing forum I frequent is having a pattern contest this month, so I thought I would join in. I only have to make it in one size, so that takes a lot of work out of it. I made this dress a few times this spring, so it was something I already made before. […]

You can never have enough dresses
By Stacy on October 13, 2009At least that is what Anya probably feels like. Well, I guess I do, too, since I have so much fun making them. 😉 I actually made this dress a few weeks ago and forgot I hadn’t posted it yet. It didn’t get posted with the rest of the sewing frenzy because when Anya put […]
I just have one measly little baby blanket to show this week. It’s cute, is it not? My sister and I went to a baby shower for our cousin’s wife on Saturday. It is their first. A nice snuggly pink blanket. The flannel here is really soft, in addition to the cuddle fleece (aka minky, […]

Just in time for the Renaissance Festival
By Stacy on September 29, 2009On Saturday we went to the Renaissance Faire. We met some friends there with their two kids and had a rather nice time. The kids got to ride an elephant and go on a few more rides. I love our Ren Faire – it is in a great wooded area and lots of people dress […]
One of the places I like to look at for inspiration is Chasing Fireflies. They have really cute and original clothes. I saw this dress and thought it was pretty cute. Here is my attempt at duplicating it. I elongated and a-lined a basic long-sleeved t-shirt pattern. Then I cut a few tiers into the […]
