Another few weeks, and I am behind again. This summer has been trying, I tell ya. I was hoping I would be a more organized person this year, and lo and behold almost 3/4 of the year is gone. Not sure how that has happened, but time is going at warp speed right now. Next […]
If you have followed my sewing much, you will know that I tend to draft a lot of the patterns that I sew. I love being able to sketch something out, and then turn it into a piece of clothing. Drafting patterns is not rocket science, but experience in sewing does really help. The basics […]
Week 31 was officially the end of summer ball. The boy was in an all star tournament, and they did fairly well. They ended up 4th place, but it was a not really a full tournament. As per the usual this summer, rain made it hard to play all the games. They ended up […]
Gotta admit…this summer has thoroughly exhausted me. I’m not sure how the kids would have gotten everywhere if I hadn’t been “working” from home. While I did get what I needed done for work, it was definitely affected by my kids activities, with having to work late on many nights when I really shouldn’t have […]

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! My niece’s husband did time in the Army as an EOD specialist (think: Hurt Locker), and now […]
What…is Halloween months away or something?? Yes, I know, but with pre-orders they need to get them ordered by the end of July so they come in on time. This is a pre-order from RP Custom Fabrics and the round is called HalloMas. She has the two holidays combined so she can make sure the […]
I volunteered to test the Bella Sunshine Design’s Sophia racerback top/tunic/dress, and it turned out very nicely for a quick summer top. I made two of them. One for my daughter in a size 2, with the top length. This is nice basic for her wardrobe. I made it in bamboo spandex jersey from Nature’s […]
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 […]
I 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 […]
