While I was waiting for the pre-order to come in for Sports Stitches at RP Custom Fabrics, this strike off sample came up on a charity auction. I just couldn’t wait, so jumped on the chance to buy it. That was at least a month ago, and I just didn’t have time to tackle it. […]
I purchased this galaxy swim fabric last summer from Zenith & Quasar (no longer available) with good intentions to make my daughter a swimsuit with it. I didn’t end up getting to it, so I wanted to make sure I got one made in time. She said she is over two pieces where she is […]
So, I thought to myself, “I got this! I am going to use a pattern block I know fits and just modify it for this dress. No problem!” Guess what? Problem! I had to redo the neckline and armholes so many times on this. The neckline is still too high, though. Maybe on my next […]
These are some summer tops that I drafted/hacked from either patterns I made previously, or by using the Sneha by Wardrobe by Me. I used my style sheet that I put together from tops I found on Pinterest: Then, I went back and looked at more tops. Here is the first one. I modified a […]
I won’t lie and say this sporty skort is for exercising. It is so I can be comfy sitting in the hot sun. I might try to go for walks before games, since we usually need to arrive an hour before game time. That would be a good use of my time, actually. I always […]
I love how this all turned out! I am excited for the weather to get warmer and I can wear this new casual wardrobe this summer. I made: 4 shirts 4 skorts 1 dress I do have several RTW and previously sewed items that will work with this, as well. I will do a few […]
With the approach of summer, I decided to try my hand at converting a top I drafted last year (or was it the year before?) into an easy summer dress. I like this top, since it is loose around the waist, but not too loose. This is aided by the gathers just being along a […]
Luckily my kids’ school colors are some of my favorites. Red and Black. It seems to be pretty popular, since that is the school colors for A LOT of other teams in this area! I do like to wear the colors when going to cheer them on, so I decided to make a new outfit. […]
I was sent a few fabric samples to sew up for Zenith & Quasar fabrics, and this is one of the prints I chose. It is called Watercolor Coral, and it is printed on a heavy brushed poly base. It feels soooo nice! I don’t know what she will end up ordering but both bases […]
I wasn’t sure if the girl would like this Cheshire Cat print from Affordable Fabrics and More, but it turned out she did! When I ordered, I did not order a panel with it…not sure why. The fabric host threw in the panel for free, which was a nice surprise. The panel was short-ish, so […]
