This is my second year participating in the Sew Americana Blog tour by Wild & Wanderful, and it is a fun mid-summer prompt to get something sewn up for the 4th of July. I was hoping that I would have more time to sew and get something made, but my free time has really been […]

Draped top in black & white
By Stacy on May 29, 2018Just a quick blog post to show I have sewn a few things. I just haven’t gotten them posted on my blog! Here is another top made from a pattern I drafted a few years ago from a RTW top I loved. It is nice to have a few staple patterns that you can pull […]
This print is from a pre-order that opens today, where some of the prints are centered around Kubo. It is a great movie, so I would definitely recommend seeing it.

Become who you were born to be
By Stacy on May 2, 2018Not only a great quote from the books, but a great outlook on life! This top, along with the skirt, are basically what I like to sew. They have a bit of a steampunk flair to them, which is just so fun to wear. Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may […]
The blade that was broken
By Stacy on May 1, 2018All 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 […]
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 […]

Spring into Color ~ blog tour ~
By Stacy on March 7, 2018I did a last minute sign up for the Spring into Color blog tour set up by Sewing by Ti. This tour centers around the Pantone color palette for Spring 2018. I decided to do the boring classic colors, mostly because I signed up late and they were really the only ones I had on […]
Walker style

Please check out our disclosure policy for more details. I started sewing for another custom fabric group called Affordable Fabrics, and she is in the same area as I am. This top is part of the […]
Set sail
By Stacy on February 14, 2018Here is the second set of prints that I sewed up the samples for Fabric Anthropology. This one relates to Helga in the Vikings series, and is a phrase she said in show. These fabrics are French Terry. A note about printing colors. The brushed poly is a synthetic, and the colors are closer the […]
