Another sweatshirt dress – AC inspired
By Stacy on January 28, 2019
The 52 Week Sewing Challenge for this week was Sew Something Red. I already sewed up some underwear with some red in the fabric, but I wanted to do this, as well. I have seen some Assassin’s Creed inspired hoodies on Pinterest with the red and black colors in them, and thought they looked cool. […]
For the 52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 3, the challenge was to sew a pattern you owned but had not sewn up yet. I had downloaded the free Bell Town Vest from Straight Stitch Designs at least a year ago. It was also the pattern I had planned to use for my furry vest […]

A new blanket for Khaleesi
By Stacy on December 29, 2018
This was a fun and quick sew for Fabric Anthropology that I just had to get a Dany wig for the photos! This is the Dothraki panel with a black cuddle minky that I picked up at Joann’s, I think. All you do is serge them together, leaving an 8 inch opening. Turn right sides […]

By Stacy on December 16, 2018
I spent some time cutting up a bunch of leather and had enough to make four of my small purses. I got two of them finished up, and think that I can successfully put together a tutorial on them. Just as soon as I figure out how to get the pattern pieces into Illustrator. These […]

Lightning strikes!
By Stacy on November 11, 2018
I am a sucker for red fabrics. Anything I can mix with black usually ends up in my shopping cart, since I wear it so much. Having my kids’ school colors as red and black definitely helps, since I try to wear the fan colors at their tournaments and games. This is the Flash lightning […]

Pride City Stripes
By Stacy on November 10, 2018
This was my top for the Pride round at Fabric Anthropology. When I got sent the fabric I was a little concerned by how “colorful” it was. If you haven’t noticed…I tend to wear a lot of neutral colors…and red. So…I thought about what kind of design I wanted to make that would still be […]
