skirt refashion
just a quick one…someone (1 of 3 friends, can’t remember which one) gave me this skirt, adult size L, but with an elastic waist, so there was LOTS of fabric. (yes, friends give me large old skirts, JUST so I can cut them up. I have awesome friends). here’s the dress! elastic shirring on the […]

Despite the June Gloom we wake to every morning (or perhaps because of it), SUMMER is officially here in Pedro.how do I know?It’s blackberry season! My dad has a whole wall covered in blackberry vines, and since we’re petsitting for him right now, we’re there at least once a day, and can eat our fill.yesterday, […]
HI HI HI!
YAY! we’re back!ok, so, as mentioned previously, I’m trying to improve my knit-sewing abilities… so I ripped up an ugly old knit nightgown of mine, and turned it into this cute Bo Peep top for the Bean: she seems to like it, right? there’s a little puckering on the side seams, but I can’t remember […]

same dress, now a top…

Scallops…
I'm playing with coat embellishment ideas… Not sure if this is way too deep for scallops…
