All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost: The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost; From the ashes, a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadow shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again […]

Well, she’s all ready for the next shark week! The girl loves sharks, and also did a project for one of her classes on ocean pollution. It was an eye-opening experience for her on what us humans do to our ecology. She is very interested in animals, and plans to become a veterinarian. We’ll see […]
Ice stripes
By Stacy on March 21, 2018This is a quick turnaround strike-off sample that I was selected to sew up from a seamstress call at Threaded Candy Customs. These stripes are supposed to go with a Halo gamer print, but these are also great for the summer-at-the-coast vibe. I decided to sew them up into a summer dress. I really, really […]

My kid is a huge Marvel fan, and once he saw the trailer for the Black Panther he was all ready to see the movie. It looks really, really cool. Unfortunately, he has been a bit sick this weekend, so no movie. I did get the lounge set sewed up for him with Black Panther […]
Set sail

These fabrics are French Terry. A note about printing colors. The brushed poly is a synthetic, and the colors are closer the […]
So who’s a Vikings fan?? Apparently…we are! Fabric Anthropology is running a Vikings round, and it has some very cool prints. There are a few panels with just phrases, and then panels with some of the characters on it. The coordinates include the battle print below, a print with ships (another blog post will be […]
Seems a bit ubiquitous to do purple, now doesn’t it? 😉 This is the new round up at Fabric Anthropology with famous musician’s that have passed, in addition to some Pride prints celebrating acceptance. I sewed up the Prince panel, with plans to get over to Paisley Park to get some photos of it in […]
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 […]
Pink and black
By Stacy on November 10, 2017I love how this turned out! I am a big fan of pink and black together, so when I got this pink watercolor french terry to sew up I knew what I wanted to make. This is the pre-order from Fabric Anthropology that closes on November 15. I paired it with a ponte I got […]
