Here is a Pinterest pattern hack coming for you. This pin is pretty popular. It is a short-sleeved top with a “cape” over it. If you are on Pinterest, I am sure you have seen it. I know it comes up in my feed all the time. I wanted to make this as part of […]
My son is a soon to be teenager, and it appears at this age that hoodies are a thing. He wears hoodies and t-shirts all winter long. Now, while he has plenty of t-shirts, there is a lack of hoodies. He had one that fit and a few that were too small but worked, so […]
This is a guest post I did for Crafting Con. Bringing it home for Halloween! ***** Hello! I am Stacy and I blog at Stylin’ Stacy. The costumes I tend to make these days are centered around cosplay characters. They serve dual purposes as my kids wear them to a convention in the spring and […]
I like to look at CAbi for inspiration on new pieces to make. I like the details, in general, and they tend to have nice finishes. I have a friend that invites me to her parties, and I usually end up buying a few pieces that fit into my wardrobe. This casual top caught my […]

Another challenging garment! Wardrobe by Me needed testers for their new coat, and I volunteered for it, although I knew I would be pressed for time. My chronic back pain also ratcheted it up a notch this past month…or so. As it was, I was late on this. I used fabric for the outer that […]
Final pictures of the costumes at the local Renaissance Faire.
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 […]
