I love the fact that I am at a place in my sewing that I can have an idea and be able to draft patterns to what I want. This doesn’t always mean the execution is easy, though! This jacket was a huge pain the butt, and took most of a day, but I love […]
The girl is on a blue kick recently, so far be it from me to not buy tons of fabric in those colors! I had already purchased this Cascade Supplex from Zenith & Quasar when I volunteered to sew up this sample fabric for the current Fabric Anthropology round. They look pretty perfect together! The […]
The boy doesn’t get much sewing done for himself lately, since he basically just wears t-shirts, a hoodie, and athletic pants. Not super exciting for mama to sew. When this new pre-order round came up at Fabric Anthropology, I knew he would love to get Venom sewed up for him! This pre-order is full of […]
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 […]
I’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, […]
One 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 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 […]
This is a transition piece for summer into fall. The fabrics on these came from a round opening at Moonbeam Fabrics. Rockabily Sparkles I wasn’t sure what to do with this fun sparkle print, so I just kept it simple. I knew she would wear this outfit a bunch, since it is just a fun, […]
The lovely things about sewing up samples, is that you get to see all the pretties ahead of time. The other lovely thing is you get seasonal fabrics WAY ahead of time and have to sew them up! So you are done EARLY! Golden Oak by Fabric Anthropology This is part of the holiday fabric […]
One of the things I like about sewing up strike-offs of fabrics is that it forces me to be more creative. The other seamstresses are good at what they do, so just making a plain top or something isn’t trying hard enough. I want to make something awesome with the strikes! Awesome it is. She’s […]
