Hey, I sewed something up this week! I have had this cut out for a few weeks, so I finally got around to sewing it up. It is basically this same top, only with a longer band around the bottom and deeper pockets. This is only 2-way stretch, so it is a bit tighter around […]

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. Having my kids’ school colors as red and black definitely helps, since I try to wear the fan colors at their tournaments and games. This is the Flash lightning […]
Pride City Stripes
By Stacy on November 10, 2018This was my top for the Pride round at Fabric Anthropology. When I got sent the fabric I was a little concerned by how “colorful” it was. If you haven’t noticed…I tend to wear a lot of neutral colors…and red. So…I thought about what kind of design I wanted to make that would still be […]
Fall staples – the tunic top
By Stacy on November 8, 2018I made a few tops for fall that I knew would get used in heavy rotation. I was missing some basic layering tops, and that was just silly. I have plenty of fabric…hello! I like to have longer tops to go with my leggings for booty coverage. For all of these I used the Sneha […]
Fall staples – the black cardigan
By Stacy on October 24, 2018I do tend to fall back on styles that I really like to wear a lot. Right now I am working from home, so comfort is key! I am trying to be better about not looking like a total slob, but sometimes the effort is tough. It is easy when I have comfortable pieces to […]

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.

Faux cable knit
By Stacy on October 7, 2018It never ceases to amaze me what designers can come up with for fabric patterns. The push for faux fill-in-the-blank can give you a fun look with the comfort of knit. I’ve seen faux leather, faux sparkles, faux glitter and here we have faux cable knit. It gives you a look of winter, but without […]
