I was invited to participate in the Twig and Tale Tour for upcycling, and of course, I said yes. Then I remembered I had tweens, and not cute little people that didn’t voice their opinion. I love their Wild Things add-ons. Talk about adorable! I so wish I could have done that with this tour, […]
This week we are going to a funeral of someone that I grew up with as a part of my life. Her kids asked me to do the eulogy, so I am a bit stressed about that. I don’t enjoy public speaking, though I can generally do a good job at it. Just don’t look […]
I have been interested in doing some sample sewing for some of the custom fabric groups on Facebook that I follow, and this one came up. I offered up, and was selected to sew up this pretty print. It will be stocking on Friday, noon EST. Some of her stockings sell out right away, so […]
I saw this striped fabric on a custom fabric website and thought it would be perfect for the pattern test I did on the cropped jacket. Unfortunately, I spent way too much on fabric for these pieces, but sometimes you just gotta splurge. Most of my fabrics I buy are at a discount fabric warehouse, […]
My daughter needed a new top to wear for our family pictures, too, right?? Of course, she did. I drew the horse out during one of the kids’ games, and I knew she would want it on a shirt. I transferred it to a digital format, and cut it out with the Silhouette. See the […]
Last spring I bought these patterned jeans on sale at Justice for my daughter. I don’t make EVERYTHING that she wears. These are 14 Slims and I still needed to put elastic in the back waist for them to fit well. A relatively easy fix, but that is generally the reason why I make a […]
This jacket was a pattern test that was dropped in the spring. My pictures are from the spring, so I decided to finally post this since fall is upon us. As much as she has grown, I doubt it fits her now! The pattern may come out sometime, but I decided to pull myself from […]
This fabric design was one of the first designs I put together, and I still really love how it turned out. I think one of the designs looks like a lion. Do you see it? I printed this on the cotton lycra at Spoonflower, and it didn’t print out a true black. You can see […]
I loved this fabric when I saw it on Affordable Fabrics and More’s website, but I wasn’t sure what to make with it. We are kind of growing out of these kinds of prints, but I thought I could make something fun. I only bought one yard, since it is pretty spendy fabric. I was […]
I remember the 80’s well, as I spent my most awkward years during the extra large bangs, neon and bleached dyed jeans era. As most of us girls that grew up during that era can attest, if you were to drop a lit match on the floor of the bathroom, the whole place would ignite […]
