I recently became a Sewing Portfolio’s Ambassador, who partners with Michael Miller Fabrics. As part of promoting the website and group, we received 3 yards of Michael Miller Fabrics current collections. These fabrics are from the Swirly Girls line. I knew that these fabrics would be destined for some girls at the domestic abuse shelter […]

Black cats and plaid
By Stacy on August 20, 2017A few groups have rounds opening this week, so I was super busy again making clothes for my little fashionista. I decided to focus on fall items, since we will be winding up summer here pretty soon. This fabric is from the Horror/Plaid round at RP Custom fabrics and will start running on August 20. […]
A little early for Christmas, but still cute!
By Stacy on August 19, 2017The winter print round is open at Zenith & Quasar fabric, and there are some really cute prints. I am a big fan of the reindeer print. 🙂 I thought I would make a little jacket with this one, and so I made the Foliis by Sofilantjes. I used the print in a different way […]
A cool cat
By Stacy on August 18, 2017Here is another seasonal print that is for winter. This print is a kids panel, with a matching coordinate from Zenith & Quasar fabrics. The panel looks like this (print yet to come): 24″ tall x 58-60″ wide cut including: 1 front panel (24″ x 20ish”) 1 back panel, solid color (24″ x 20ish”) 1 […]
Free summer tank top
By Stacy on August 4, 2017This was a pattern test for a summer tank top for Orange Daisy Patterns. I liked the coverage, and the fact that she can actually wear this to school. It seems like a lot of summer tops are not geared towards school aged kids and schools clothing standards. Strappy tops and open backs are usually […]
Color wheel
By Stacy on July 29, 2017Yes, indeed. I do have more fabric from the Fun Rounds! Arcoiris at RP Custom Fabrics This is the color wheel print, and I decided to make a skort and top with a flounce for the girl. This were really easy to cut with the circular lines in the prints. I used two 25″ rounds […]
Numbers
By Stacy on June 9, 2017This is kind of the perfect fabric for school-age kiddos. This is a pre-order up at The Fabric Cottage with numbers and letters is various colorways. I was a bit late to choose a sample to sew up, so I ended up getting the numbers in white and black. I probably would have chosen the […]
What’s your sign?
By Stacy on June 8, 2017This 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 […]
The annual birthday outfit
By Stacy on May 10, 2017I generally try to sew something up for the girl for her birthday, since it is a special day. Having my birthday 2 weeks before Christmas makes you appreciate people actually remembering that you have a birthday. 😉 This was a last minute, start at 10:30pm and finish at 1 am, outfit. The fabric is […]
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 […]
