This was kind of fun to sew up! The constellation fabric for the skirt is on pre-order at RP Custom Fabrics. This sample is the 58″ round on bamboo lycra. She has a few other round panels, and they come in various sizes. The girl claimed it when she saw it, so I had to […]
Category: Sample sewing
When RP Custom Fabrics offered up these strike-offs for sewing up, I knew my time would be at a premium. Unfortunately, this past week and upcoming week, we are in the thick of games and tournaments. My poor kiddos are tired, tired, tired, but luckily school is almost out for them. It is hard to […]
Another gamer shirt
By Stacy on June 1, 2017When I saw that Sugar Ink Fabric was planning a Skyrim/Elder Scrolls round, I knew at least two of my peoples would be interested in this fabric. I was correct! The owner, Christie, asked for strike off seamstresses, and I happily volunteered. Pre-order for Skyrim Upon receiving the panel, the design looked a little long. […]
I like a good theme-centric project to get my wheels turning. This one was related to the intended fabric, which was inspired by the 1996 movie, The Craft. The plotline was centered around a group of girls that aspired to be witches, and luckily it was actually on Netflix so I could reacquaint myself with […]
I love damask, which really shouldn’t be a surprise since I draw it quite often! This damask print is part of the current round open at RP Custom Fabrics and it is inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The other prints are closer to a Tiffany blue, though. This one seems to be closer to a […]
80’s revival
By Stacy on May 1, 2017A few years ago I sewed up my girl an outfit inspired by Kira from The Dark Crystal. She still wears it, too, and wants more like it. Naturally, when Moonbeam Textiles created an 80’s movie inspired round including The Dark Crystal, and this order came up to sew up the samples, I jumped on […]
We are made of starstuff
By Stacy on April 30, 2017Oh, Zenith & Quasar Fabric, how much do I love thee? It’s not just because Lilly gives me free fabric, though that is kind of cool. It is because her panels look like this: You can actually make a matching back to your shirt out of her panels! It is a whole yard (for adult […]
Disney Villains
By Stacy on April 26, 2017I have joined another seamstress team for sewing up samples of custom fabric prints to advertise for their new rounds. These are from The Fabric Cottage, and this round includes Disney Villains. She sent me a 1/4 yard of the coordinate and an adult panel of Maleficent. I didn’t think that the coordinate went as […]
Dance off Bro!
By Stacy on April 25, 2017Look! I sewed something for my son! Poor kid gets so very neglected in the sewing room. This was a strike off sewing sample for Stardust Textiles. It is part of a new round of pre-sale fabrics that focuses on space shows (Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Star Trek). I was late to the […]
Sea monsters and an old map
By Stacy on March 21, 2017I love this print by Zenith & Quasar Fabric. Seriously…LOVE. The main print is a print of an old map, and the lighter color print has snippets of the sea monsters in the map. Very cool. Unfortunately, the map print is out of stock right now, and I was lucky enough to snag some for […]
