In the interest of cleaning up some old posts in my blog, I bring you a pattern test that got dropped this summer. It fit some of the ladies, but overall it was hard to get it right. It wasn’t the easiest pattern to make with all those gathers in knit materials. I wasn’t sure […]
Was it just me, or did 2017 just fly by like a bat out of hell? Our 2017 started out with our son puking all over the place, and it is ending with my Grandma Jo breaking her other arm and my girl needing knee surgery for a meniscus tear. Throw in several funerals, and […]
I was excited to get this fabric, since the Manta Rays from the movie, Moana, were so pretty. When I got the 2 yards, they were 2 SEPARATE yards, so not a continuous cut at $26/yard (pre-order price even). That’s kind of spendy to not get what you ordered. Not real happy. She did say […]
Seems a bit ubiquitous to do purple, now doesn’t it? 😉 This is the new round up at Fabric Anthropology with famous musician’s that have passed, in addition to some Pride prints celebrating acceptance. I sewed up the Prince panel, with plans to get over to Paisley Park to get some photos of it in […]
I was doing really well with doing those monthly wrap ups, and then got all behind! Because I got busy! So, here is what I finished for August, September, October and November. These are most of them, anyways. Might be missing a few. August: September: October: November: Whew! As of the end of November, I […]
The boy is one of those lucky kids who has a December birthday (I am, as well), so he gets many gifts and being a teen it is harder and harder to figure out what to get him other than an Xbox giftcard. I ran across this book at Barnes and Noble, so I got […]
This is such a cute top! Releasing today is the George and Ginger Posh Top. I made a size 14 tween for the girl out of cotton lycra from Fabric Anthropology. Kristi did shorten the pattern a few inches after this version, but otherwise the fit is the same on the final. It has these […]
On Saturday night we were going to go to a concert to see A Perfect Circle, so I wanted to get a small bag finished up to carry my phone and wallet. I had been meaning to make something like this for awhile now, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. I made […]
There are a pair of stretch jeggings I have where I really like the fit of them. They are kind of straight leg leggings, and I wanted to copy them for awhile now. I finally got that done this weekend. When I copy a RTW item I own, I turn it inside out, cover each […]
Back in the summer I made my girl a dress that I thought would work for her choir concerts this year. Nope! The girl needed a black bottoms and white top for her choir concert, so back to the sewing machine I went. She said she wanted a “flowy” top and I got to choose […]
