i’m ironing mine within an inch of it’s life and sewing it by hand. so far so good!

I’m thinking about halloween costumes! Last year we did Paddington Bear and the year before was a peacock.

This year 3 year old wants to be the lorax. I’m thinking this means orange leggings, orange hoodie with eyes and mustache attached, and truffula shaped bag for candy.

Her sister is going to reuse a hand me down elephant costume and be…[Read more]

@dubhels2003 I agree with @nzsewist that the roller skate is good for showing off prints. I’ve also done it so the back is a single piece. A sleeveless fairy tail (sans collar) would probably work as well.

I’ve always skipped the darts when making this dress and it’s always turned out fine (and been extra comfortable). Maybe she could send you something that fits well?

I’m working on back to school outfits for my 5 & 7 year old nieces. (Can someone tell me how this happened? I could have sworn it was last week I was watching a 2 & 4 year old).

In the past I’ve done matching dresses but this year both requested skirts and tops. So I’m doing hopscotch in a navy lawn and some of the fabric I was sent by Oliver + S…[Read more]

What about something like this?

Robbers Took My Oliver + S Sewing!

Last week I came home to find we had been burglarized. Luckily no one was hurt, the cat didn’t get out, and we have insurance.

However just about all our electronics were gone, along with some of my jewelry (luckily nothing of sentimental value like my grandmothers pearls), and they had totally destroyed the…[Read more]

I know the feeling! I started making my own with scrap muslin, stamps, and fabric ink. Here is a good example what they look like.

My process is this:

1. Pour myself a drink and clear off the coffee table.

2. Interface whatever muslin I have around.

3. Use a pencil and clear ruler to draw grid lines on the muslin. (I’ve found the right size…[Read more]

Sorry I wasn’t more clear!

This started a few years back when I took my five year old niece to the store to pick out fabric to make her and her sister Tinkerbell and Periwinkle dresses. (Periwinkle is Tinkerbell’s long lost twin sister for those of you who haven’t watched Secret of the Wings) We were all set to check out with materials for two…[Read more]
