I want to make the Bistro for me.

I need to make 3 pairs of Afterschool pants for my daughter. She loves that pattern and I love that I can fit her no butt, no waist, no hips body so that they actually STAY up and don’t flash butt crack.

I want to take time to really learn from my Craftsy classes to help with fit. (I got Joi’s Fit class, and…[Read more]

Merry Christmas to one and to all!
Hard to believe this year’s at its last call.
Ribbons and papers…
And family capers…
Alas, my sewing’s been at a stall!

A new year means new patterns for me.

Tamara,

Happy Babying! Snuggle lots!

I can’t wait until I get to set up my room. I am deliberately taking my time to set it up as I want. I think the room is about 8X11. I am so excited to get out of the nasty basement. It is so dirty there and hard to keep the machines clean. (Of course, I don’t mean my threads all over.) 🙂

I have to figure out the layout of the room and the…[Read more]

I make this immensely popular dish 3 times a year– Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. It is very very rich and frankly would kill you if you ate it more often.

The recipe comes from our big local chain, which has a weird cult like following.…[Read more]

Well, last night, 12/24, my cousin saw pictures of my in the clutch bags and wanted one. We trooped to the basement, she picked out fabric she wanted. This morning, I whipped out a bag as quickly as I could for a 3 pm dinner. Turned out well. Better than I expected. Since I didn’t comple all my sewing, some people will receive gifts in…[Read more]

Yay Masha, Go Hugo, Boo Sarvi… hope the machine is ok.

I hope no one is harmed in the hostage situation. I wondered if anyone here was nearby.

Yesterday we went to church and the lesson was all about being in the moment and taking a pause and not letting the secular overtake the season. Then we rushed home so I could finish his holiday…[Read more]

I must plan an easy buffet
Put the best plates out on display
My Wedgewood and Spode…
And on them we’ll load
My completely deflated souffle.

I am almost out of time to sew

I can’t think of a good starter
But I’ll wear my hair shirt like a martyr
I’ll hunt for a rhyme
With my eye on the time
Oh my, I don’t think I could laugh any harder.

There once was a designer from New York

The holiday season draws near
Hm, What to make for those I hold dear?
Jammies or dresses?
The decision distresses..
Oh that’s a new pattern calling, I hear!

I can’t think of a good starter… I pass on to anyone else….

OOOH I got usurped! 🙂

The holiday season draws near
Hm, what to make for those I hold dear?
Jammies or dresses?

You’d never believe it, I swear
The seams that I stitch never tear

It is raining outside today
A perfect chance to fabric play
With patterns and trim
The chances are slim
