It is hard to tell, but the fabric on this skirt is SHINY. I love it. It is so comfy. Of course, I washed it after making it and part of the waistband came undone. GRRRRRRRR! Now I need to take out my FAVORITE (NOT!) sewing implement…the seam ripper. *sigh* This is my “go to” […]
Category: Stuff I made
I have a big place in my heart for Western looks. I grew up on a farm and competed in rodeos, so I have some history there. Of course, now I live in a city. I’m one of those City People. I am so far away from my roots now, I can barely see the […]
Look here…another cross-front top! This one I cut a bit too tight and it just didn’t lay right. Under a sweater it goes! Wintertime is good for hiding shit. Like those extra 10 pounds I have gained this past year. *sigh* Being in shape and keeping the weight down gets harder and harder. Guess it […]
I love cross front tops. They tend to be slimming and figure flattering. They make the girls look pretty good, which at my advanced age of “40”…’tis a good thing. I got a piece of lycra-polyester blend fabric that had a handkerchief print on it. I wasn’t sure quite what I wanted to do with […]
I have been sewing lately, so I will get some posts together for things I have made! First off, I have a few new purses I made from a pleather alligator fabric. I LOVE both of these bags. Seriously. I carry them everywhere with me. I used the basic outside measurements from bags I already […]
I have been so lax in taking pictures lately! My main excuse is that I have ZERO time in the morning. I am perpetually late for work. Every. Day. *sigh* I know I should get up earlier, but sleep! Yeah, sleep is my friend. So not a morning person. Anyways, here is something new I […]
This is a shirt I used fabric from one of the ladies at my sewing retreat. There was a give and take table, and this one-yard piece was on it. I thought it would be perfect for a dressy summer tank top! Tank top – Made by Me Jacket – CAbi Capris – LOFT Earrings […]
Well, it is definitely green around here due to all the rain, and also due to my new green skirt I made! Oh, the weather here! It hasn’t been very summer like, except when we get storms. We had quite the storm during National Night Out last week. Hailstones as big as golf balls! We […]
I recently found a jewelry website that has statement necklaces, earrings, etc. They like to layer their necklaces, which I just LOVE. I go there and try not to buy the entire store, since there are so many pieces that I just need. So far…I have kept myself in check. That is pretty tough, though. […]
I have definitely been on a black kick lately. I still think I need more black, though. Right now I have a black and ecru tank that I need to finish up in the sewing room. Maybe I need another black skirt to go with it? There is no such thing as too many black […]
