I have really pulled back lately in sewing up strike off samples, but I rather liked this stripe from Moonbeam Textile Company. It is part of their Floral Force pre-order round that runs until May 21st. I thought this print would work great for a maxi dress, so I based this off of my favorite […]

Black filigree
By Stacy on February 1, 2019Well, its been terribly cold here in the great North. We had the coldest temperatures and wind chills in 25 years, so schools and businesses were closed.

A new blanket for Khaleesi
By Stacy on December 29, 2018This was a fun and quick sew for Fabric Anthropology that I just had to get a Dany wig for the photos! This is the Dothraki panel with a black cuddle minky that I picked up at Joann’s, I think. All you do is serge them together, leaving an 8 inch opening. Turn right sides […]
Lightning strikes!
By Stacy on November 11, 2018I am a sucker for red fabrics. Anything I can mix with black usually ends up in my shopping cart, since I wear it so much.

FA Fashion week line – The Warrior outfit
By Stacy on October 14, 2018This was a fun outfit to make, and I was going more for a post-apocalyptic look for it. A strong, fierce female.
