Oh, 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 […]
I 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 […]
While I was waiting for the pre-order to come in for Sports Stitches at RP Custom Fabrics, this strike off sample came up on a charity auction. I just couldn’t wait, so jumped on the chance to buy it. That was at least a month ago, and I just didn’t have time to tackle it. […]
Look at that stripe matching! Just look at it!! Yes, I am happy to say that I paid attention during cutting to try to get the side seams and the front and back all matched up for the plaid version of this cute little dress. Mantica Dress by Sofilantjes This knit summer dress was another […]
I purchased this galaxy swim fabric last summer from Zenith & Quasar (no longer available) with good intentions to make my daughter a swimsuit with it. I didn’t end up getting to it, so I wanted to make sure I got one made in time. She said she is over two pieces where she is […]
Another test for Sofilantjes patterns! I like her style of clothes for kids, since they are on trend and comfy. I still have a few more sizes she can wear in these before she graduates out of them. They go up to a size 14, and right now she is a 10W and 13L. Sylva […]
I was sent a few fabric samples to sew up for Zenith & Quasar fabrics, and this is one of the prints I chose. It is called Watercolor Coral, and it is printed on a heavy brushed poly base. It feels soooo nice! I don’t know what she will end up ordering but both bases […]
I wasn’t sure if the girl would like this Cheshire Cat print from Affordable Fabrics and More, but it turned out she did! When I ordered, I did not order a panel with it…not sure why. The fabric host threw in the panel for free, which was a nice surprise. The panel was short-ish, so […]
I might be a bit macabre, but I do love the look of sugar skulls. Fabric: Affordable Fabrics and More (retail is closed right now, as pre-ordered fabric arrives) Sugar skulls, called calaveras, are made to honor dead relatives on Dia de Muertos, or All Soul’s Day. This tradition can be traced back to the […]
I decided to take some pictures of the girl before she got her hair cut off and donated it. It had gotten pretty long, and she really doesn’t do anything with it at all…or let me do anything with it. I have had this saying and mermaid cut out for some time, so I figured […]
