Wedding guest sewing
By Stacy on September 19, 2018I showed in a previous post a dress turned into a top that I made for a wedding in August. Here is what I ended up making and wearing to it. I have several black skirts that I have made over the years, so I thought the next attempt would just be a top that […]
Stash game – day 3
By Stacy on September 5, 2018Sewing Mamas forum is doing a stash game for September, so I decided I would join in. There isn’t much participation on the forum these days, but I figured it would be something that would give me a push. I do have limited time with the kids’ sports, but I would like to get […]

They have a bit of a steampunk flair to them, which is just so fun to wear. Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may […]

Black and white and a little dressy
By Stacy on November 20, 2017Back in the summer I made my girl a dress that I thought would work for her choir concerts this year. Nope! The girl needed a black bottoms and white top for her choir concert, so back to the sewing machine I went. She said she wanted a “flowy” top and I got to choose […]
Pretty purple jacket
By Stacy on November 12, 2017Here is my last sample piece for the current round open at Fabric Anthropology (whew! I made 5 this time!). This is the purple watercolor and it is another very pretty color. The watercolor feature makes it have some pretty gradients going throughout the print. I drafted up this jacket and sewed it in about […]
