With a Twist.
The pattern is called With a Twist… can’t remember the name of the fabrics, but they were all batiks, in a roll-up. I used the scraps to make this dress for the Bean. she loves it because it has pockets, (obvi), but also because the batik is a GREAT weight for summer dresses. what is […]
KMQ playtime
Here’s a really cute teddy bear made with the KMQ (pacific) fabrics…. he’s a simplicity pattern (without vest, hat, etc) He was a total hit with my kiddos for the 2 hours we had him (finished) he got dressed as a cowboy, and covered with coordinating blankets (/mug rugs) here’s the blanket/mugrug: I was just […]
Finishing.
I’m trying to knock stuff off my to-do list (so that I can justify adding to it!) first up was this found quilt top… I used leftovers from the new Lazy Daisy Baskets line, by Darlene Zimmerman, with this cute Mother Goose panel… I like the back better than the front…. …probably because the front […]
Overwhelmed by WIP’s Wednesday…
I had to take a blood test at the Dr this morning, and took some quilty books to look at while waiting for the hour to pass… As I did so, I reminded myself that I have several unfinished projects… I made a list… this is stuff that’s already been cut/started (but just fabric/yarn purchased/saved […]
Seat belt strap cover thingys
I don’t know what these are called…. But I made 3 of them last night in well under an hour. They sell them at target (UGLY) for $11/pair. I like mine better, (and so do the kiddos) I just grabbed scraps out of my scrap bin for the squares, and the binding from binding scraps…. […]
Kona cotton solids banner
Aaaaand, we’re done time to take a break… The Bean wants more summer clothes (as does D, but he’s not as excited about it as the Bean). This banner took very little sewing (but lots of ironing), and I am inordinately proud of it. All the new Kona colors are prairie pointed around it, and […]
A day in the life of a sample seamstress…
I was looking through my phone this morning, and realized I have a bunch of pics of market stuff that I can’t share yet, but I also have a bunch of random stuff that I *can* share…. so here’s a random collection of photos from 1 day last week: my cutting table, 2 days after […]
I hate magenta.
I made this super awesome dress for the Bean, using a vintage pattern…. (sorta. I mean, I copied a vintage pattern but used her sloper) anyway, to make the grey a little more girlie, I embroidered some flowers. And the old magenta floss I used bled all over. poop.
Little Killa quilt
This was one of the last minute quilts made for the RK booth… I got the fabric the week of market, so I had to design, piece, quilt and bind in a single day. This adorable fabric is called Little Kukla (which autocorrects to Killa on an iphone, hence the title of this post). I […]
Scrap/vintage sewing
I made this sunsuit from one of those vintage patterns I bought last month… it’s a size 1, and I mostly wanted to see the construction and assembly… I think it came out cute enough that I’ll draft a larger version for the Bean later this summer… I used leftover Essex Linen in awesome Hot […]
