Shannon invited me to participate in the Breeze Top pattern tour, and I just couldn’t say no! Of course, the Girl has her own opinions and I wasn’t sure she would be as thrilled as I. Fortunately, she liked the style and we worked on a top that she would wear. Yes, this is the top […]

Tie-dye chronicles
By Stacy on June 18, 2014The camp that the children go to for a few weeks over the summer has a tie dye activity. Every. Single. Week. Really, how many tie dye t-shirts does a kid need? The Boy already did a tie-dyed t-shirt as part of his last week in school. He learned there were different ways to tie […]

Swimsuit time again
By Stacy on June 10, 2014It’s that time of year again…time to sew the Girl some swimsuits! The kids are at a real camp in the woods for the next two weeks and they swim everyday. Not sure how warm that pool is right now, though. This is also going to be my June Pinterest project. If you noticed…I didn’t have a […]
I bought the Girl some jeans from Justice when they went on sale. I concede that making jeans is not my favorite thing to do, though I am getting a bit better at it. Finding decent bottom weights with lycra and fun colors is not the easiest, though. I was just fine with whipping out my […]
Like so many sewing mama’s I am making an Elsa costume. We went to Wizard Con (a comic con), so the kids needed a costume…of course! She wanted to go as Elsa. Big shocker right there. 😉 When looking at Elsa pictures, her dress went from a sky blue to an almost turquoise color. We ended […]

Signature style & Pinteresting Project – April
By Stacy on April 13, 2014This week for Project Run and Play, we are supposed to show our signature style. This has evolved for me over time as my kids have outgrown the dressy, special occasion clothes. If I were to make a lovely dress, it would sit in the closet unworn and unloved. 🙁 Right now my signature style […]
This week’s challenge for Project Run and Play is to design your own fabric. For me this is not such a stretch, as I have a Spoonflower shop of fabric I have designed from my scribbles. I think the current blog background I made would make a pretty fabric design, too. Here are a few […]
Ah yes…yet another Spring Break where we are NOT going someplace warm. That is the sucky part of being an accountant this time of year. I am still working on getting tax returns out to people and it is quarter-end. Fun times, fun times. In honor of warmth that we will receive in about 2 […]
This is the first week of sewing along with Project Run and Play, and the theme this week is zoo-inspired. I had a few zebra things in the stash, so this was a pretty easy one to do for me. I found a super cute zebra design in the Silhouette store, had some zebra minky and […]
More stuff for the Girl! This was a pretty simple little outfit and a transition piece. The lace-like fabric on the arms will be good when it starts warming up a little bit. She was not happy with it when she wore it this day, though. It was a bit chilly. Negative degrees in MARCH. […]
