Stash game – day 3
By Stacy on September 5, 2018Sewing Mamas forum is doing a stash game for September, so I decided I would join in. There isn’t much participation on the forum these days, but I figured it would be something that would give me a push. I do have limited time with the kids’ sports, but I would like to get […]
This is one of those easier to make leather bags. I have made three of these so far. The first two I made were not as wide, and I am having a bit of a problem getting my 5 x 7 journal in it, so I decided to make this one a bit bigger. I […]

I was offered to sew up these strike-off samples, which are more for a younger child. My kids were well past the age that these printed samples would fit, so I went to the next best alternative…my grand-nephew!

I love this fabric that I purchased from Zenith and Quasar last year, and finally got it sewed up for me. This is the star stuff panel and Carina Nebula fabric from her space round last year. I sewed up some samples for that round, but also purchased a bunch for myself. I love how […]
Change up the Tee – blog tour day 10
By Stacy on July 13, 2018I decided to participate in another blog tour by Made for Little Gents, and this time it was about making more than just a basic t-shirt for boys. The blog tour was sponsored by GYCT Designs, and they offered the blog tour participants the Primary Tee. There is a giveaway and sale included! The sale […]
This was supposed to be an entry for the 52 week sewing challenge last week, but I ran out of steam and did not get the pictures uploaded. Oh well…add it to the many weeks I missed! This top is made from a fabric pattern I drafted and then printed on Modern Jersey from Spoonflower. […]
Fractals
By Stacy on July 5, 2018Here is the last print I sewed up for the current rounds open at Fabric Anthropology/Thread Therapy Fabric. I volunteered to sew up too many fabrics this time. I didn’t keep track of what I had already signed up for, soooooo…yeah, a little stressed with getting them sewn up and photographed! Disclosure: This post may […]
