I have had a breakthrough. I have a new sewing companion that makes taking pictures of my creations far more readily convenient. Here she is: Isn't she just lovely? She is. She's great. She holds still for photos, always looks fantastic, and is very low maintenance. My daughter thinks I should name her Legolas. *Pause … Continue reading Tee Dress.

For goodness sake, that was a long absence.  Some rather involved house projects robbed me of my sewing room for a while.  But, 's'okay.  Now the sewing room is much brighter and prettier.  More conducive to creativity.  Which brings me to this charming pink tee. This fabric is a really lightweight 100% cotton that is … Continue reading Boden Imitation.

You know those days when you want to curl up on the couch in a blanket with some hot chocolate and a great book? This is the sweatshirt to grab. Especially if Spring still hasn't hit.  Gaah.

Right.  Next!  Okay, remember this photo?     My Christmas fun. Now we're going to play with that lovely, rich, pin spotted charcoal fabric.  Springy as can be and holds it's shape great.  You know how most fabric curls at the edges?  Especially when you wash and dry it?  This fella is so chill.  It … Continue reading Charcoal dots.

For Christmas, cuz I'm weird, I wanted fabric.  These are the beautiful pieces I got.  Couple are bamboo/cotton/spandex which is wonderfully springy, I'm discovering.  {Oh, and pardon the bad pixellation, this was on my lousy camera.} My most recent creation is made from the top right, that cheery gold foil cotton.  So here are all … Continue reading Bright spots.
