I have been wanting to make this cardigan for quite awhile. It wasn’t the color I would choose, but I loved the flounces. This would have to be flounces and not ruffles, as the gathering would make it horrendous to sew the seams. My plan of attack was to use the WBM basic t-shirt and […]

Packers Pride!
By Stacy on August 24, 2017Go Pack Go! Sara at RP Custom Fabrics has a new pre-order up with tartan plaids in team colors. How awesome is that?? I love this idea and had to make up a top for me in the Green, Gold and White Tartan. I didn’t have any matching green, so I went to the closet […]
Sheer inset dolman top
By Stacy on August 10, 2017Hey look, something that is not a pattern test or strike off sewing! I have been wanting to make another sheer inset top in black. I have made a white one and one with huge sleeves. The process in drafting this was pretty easy. I used a dolman top pattern that I made from a […]
Beautiful Sunset
By Stacy on July 19, 2017This print is part of the RP Custom Fabrics – Fun Rounds pre-order. The image is of a sunset skyline in a circular format. Really pretty! (click on picture to go to the pre-order for it) I received a few of the smaller round panels, and two that were the same size. I think they […]
Koi cape top
By Stacy on July 18, 2017The new rounds are up for pre-order at RP Custom Fabrics, and she called this round the “Fun Rounds“. I have to agree. There are some really pretty and fun prints in it. I have several to get sewed up, so hopefully I will get them done soon. We are entering the week of the […]
Just call me Morticia
By Stacy on February 8, 2017No, I am not feeling depressed. Yes, I like to wear black. I try not to wear all black, since that might beg the question of “whose funeral”. To which, the obvious reply would be, “I haven’t decided yet.” 😉 This top is my Sneha tunic hack. I described how I drafted and changed the […]
Pattern hack – Cowl/hood top
By Stacy on October 24, 2016I like to look at CAbi for inspiration on new pieces to make. I like the details, in general, and they tend to have nice finishes. I have a friend that invites me to her parties, and I usually end up buying a few pieces that fit into my wardrobe. This casual top caught my […]
A CAbi hack
By Stacy on August 1, 2016Every 6 months or so I am invited by a friend to her CAbi party. I really do like the clothes, but in my opinion, they have gone down in quality over the years. The last pair of overpriced pants I bought from them stretched out so very, very much and had poor recovery. So…not […]
Fall Colors
By Stacy on October 6, 2014Today I am guest posting over at Oliver & S for another tweenified version of their patterns: the Hide and Seek Tunic and Playtime Leggings. (Yep, they gave me these patterns again. As you know, I tend to draft my own, so I don’t buy patterns anymore for the most part. All opinions on these […]
Grey days
By Stacy on September 29, 2014We are heading into the lovely grey days of Autumn, where it tends to rain a bit and then snow a bit. Not looking forward to either, especially after the beautiful weekend we had. I took these shots right before it started to rain, and the skies were getting a bit grey. Definitely a Monday morning.
