Our friend turned 40 yesterday, so a bunch of us went on a brewery crawl (her husband rented a bus for us, thank goodness!). The kids were out of town all week at their aunt and uncle’s farm, so I had some time to sew up something to wear! I will go into details of […]
This is another shirt that I drafted from a pin on Pinterest. It is actually a Burda pattern that I saw at one point last year. It was a pretty simple pattern, so it wasn’t like I needed to buy it. It is just a big boxy shirt. So…not sure about it. It is really […]
I got two more swimsuits finished up this week for the little miss. She goes to a day camp during the summer, and they usually go swimming a few times a week. Most of her old swimsuits were a little too small, so luckily I have a lot of swimsuit fabric. <<Fabric Hoarder>> Yes, that […]
I was trying to figure out what I wanted to sew on a Sunday night, since I finally had some free time. We are in the midst of softball, baseball and yardwork. It must be springtime. I decided to try to draft a new pattern from one of my pins on Pinterest. This is the […]
All things being equal, this costume was much less involved than my son’s costume for the con. Which, in an of itself, is quite the statement for a kid’s costume that will get worn a handful of times.

This was a copy of a shirt I wear all the time. It was about time that I copied it. This is the first version, in a fabric that is a stretch shirting with a really nice drape. It didn’t fit. Too tight across the upper chest and too small armholes. *sigh* Not sure what I […]
I am still working on the costume, so I thought I would post the bits I get finished up as I get them done. The beading on the arms was posted here. So… The jacket is just a hodge podge of layers that are difficult to discern how they would all be sewn together…and why. I […]
So, here we are…another pattern test. Hope you all aren’t getting sick of this yet. 😉 Simple Life Pattern Co. – Phoebe I really wasn’t sure the girl would want to wear this, because, yet again…dress. I figured if I put lots of cats on it, then I might get a taker. She did end […]
This is a pretty involved dress, so here is the quick and dirty on how to construct it. This took me a good 8-10 hours to make and I am a pretty efficient sewer for the most part. Not trying to scare you off, but this is more of a labor of love than most […]
