Here is my last sample piece for the current round open at Fabric Anthropology (whew! I made 5 this time!). This is the purple watercolor and it is another very pretty color. The watercolor feature makes it have some pretty gradients going throughout the print. I drafted up this jacket and sewed it in about […]
I love the fact that I am at a place in my sewing that I can have an idea and be able to draft patterns to what I want. This doesn’t always mean the execution is easy, though! This jacket was a huge pain the butt, and took most of a day, but I love […]
The boy doesn’t get much sewing done for himself lately, since he basically just wears t-shirts, a hoodie, and athletic pants. Not super exciting for mama to sew. When this new pre-order round came up at Fabric Anthropology, I knew he would love to get Venom sewed up for him! This pre-order is full of […]
I love it when a plan comes together! I have been drawn towards greens and love Lord of the Rings prints. Plus it kind of makes my hair look super bright! The cardigan here is made from Leaf Modal Spandex Jersey from Nature’s Fabrics. Disclosure: They sent me this fabric for free, but all opinions […]

In early 2017 I had made a black purse that I loved. After going back home for a benefit (whereby I made two other purses for it) I was offered some moola for my black purse. I knew she really wanted it and would ask me again for it, so I sold it to her. […]
I’m pretty sure this photo explains the little bit of sass… This is a pretty cute little panel that is up at Rockerbye on pre-order. This round is full of horses, llamas, some jungle creatures and cute coordinates. The pre-order starts today at Rockerbye. The size of the panel here is a child’s panel, […]
I made this dress before going to a concert a few weeks ago. It was Apocalyptica plays Metallica, and we took the younguns’ with us. It was a nice smallish concert hall, and four cellos playing rock is always interesting! It was a late night, though, so we payed for it on Monday morning. It […]
I ordered this bamboo jersey fabric from Nature’s Fabric, and expected it to be more of a true red. It is a bit of a rusty red (more rusty than I could get the color to show here), so it wasn’t going to work for what I initially intended. Instead, I though I would make […]
The girl has been reading the Sarah Maas series where the lead character is basically an assassin, though she becomes a leader. (I think…she tends to get wordy and unfocused when she explains it all). This year she wanted to be an assassin in going to the Renaissance Festival and for Halloween. That works fine […]
