I love it when a plan comes together! I have been drawn towards greens and love Lord of the Rings prints. Plus it kind of makes my hair look super bright! The cardigan here is made from Leaf Modal Spandex Jersey from Nature’s Fabrics. Disclosure: They sent me this fabric for free, but all opinions […]

Finally a black purse
By Stacy on October 15, 2017In early 2017 I had made a black purse that I loved. After going back home for a benefit (whereby I made two other purses for it) I was offered some moola for my black purse. I knew she really wanted it and would ask me again for it, so I sold it to her. […]
A little bit of sass…
By Stacy on October 9, 2017I’m pretty sure this photo explains the little bit of sass… This is a pretty cute little panel that is up at Rockerbye on pre-order. This round is full of horses, llamas, some jungle creatures and cute coordinates. The pre-order starts today at Rockerbye. The size of the panel here is a child’s panel, […]
Gathered cowl top
By Stacy on October 5, 2017I ordered this bamboo jersey fabric from Nature’s Fabric, and expected it to be more of a true red. It is a bit of a rusty red (more rusty than I could get the color to show here), so it wasn’t going to work for what I initially intended. Instead, I though I would make […]
My little assassin
By Stacy on October 4, 2017The girl has been reading the Sarah Maas series where the lead character is basically an assassin, though she becomes a leader. (I think…she tends to get wordy and unfocused when she explains it all). This year she wanted to be an assassin in going to the Renaissance Festival and for Halloween. That works fine […]
Blue agate
By Stacy on October 2, 2017One of the reasons I love Zenith & Quasar fabrics is that she creates fabric with some great images of the world (and galaxy!) around us. This print is created using inspiration from a blue agate. The current round open for pre-order is called the Nature round, and is full of rocks, woods and things […]
I have been meaning to make a cute little denim dress for my girl for some time now. This fabric was purchased a good year ago, and is a lightweight denim woven fabric. As with most things these days, I needed an impetus to spur me into action in getting it done. This year’s family […]
Joggers are not actually for jogging
By Stacy on September 21, 2017As the Girl’s gym teacher learned when he was trying to talk her into joining the track team. He was pushing hard, too. “Uh, yeah, no…running isn’t really my thing.” You can, though, still look cute in them. These are the Rumba Joggers from Rogue Patterns, set to release tomorrow. They come in a huge […]
Brasov top from Itch to Stitch
By Stacy on September 17, 2017It was hard to cut into my Carina Nebula brushed poly from Zenith & Quasar fabrics, but I knew that the pattern would fit well. Brasov from Itch to Stitch This is the new Brasov top from Itch to Stitch, and I tested it. This was my first test top, and I didn’t really need […]
A wardrobe staple – 4 gore black skirt
By Stacy on September 12, 2017This is one of those pieces that will get worn all the time. It is fitted at the hips and skims down to flare out above the knee. This is a nice length for this area, since I can wear it in the winter with tights underneath and boots. It will still show my boots, […]
