I loved this house when I bought it last year. It has what you would call, “good bones.” There is a ton of natural light, lots of room for kids, huge yard, space for a sewing room (my #1 priority, ju...
ETA: Wow, posting from my iPhone only works for little posts I guess. I have moved this around and added a bunch of stuff that was in my original posting but didn’t show up. I am posting from my iPho...
Any good ones? Im there for a week and hope Ill have time for a little shoppy-shopping!!
I think I started liking this dress because of the color. I was lukewarm about the v-neck opening but something really kept bugging me about the dress. I finally made it up and I’m really glad I did....
Here is CAbi Part I for those of you who are interested. #4 Laguna Dress $89This dress was really cute. It was a Rayon/Spandex blend so it was super stretchy and comfortable. This dress really...
Aren’t you tired of really expensive duvets? I have been looking for a while but couldn’t find anything that I loved, ya know? I mean, even on clearance they are upwards of $80 for a king-sized duvet...

Why? Why are duvets so damn expensive? I made this king-sized duvet out of two flat sheets. Each one was $12 on sale and they are nice sheets too. High thread count and all that. Here’s the final pho...
My stash continues to grow at an alarming rate. I need to sew more and buy less! But they gave me a coupon. Doesn’t that make it okay? I bought a few wovens which I normally don’t do. I also bought s...
I think I’m in love with the May Burda. There are so many cute things in this issue. I think it may also be that it’s spring in Alaska and I really love this time of year. This has no zippers or anyt...
I have a friend that has one of those parties so I always go. It’s fun to try on clothing and fun to experiment with new silhouettes. I chose my favorites and thought I’d take a stab at knocking them...
Why do I have these types of conversations in the car? Am I the only one? Inquisitive Boy: Mom, what’s a cloaca?Me (in the front of the car): What?? Boy: Clo-aaaaaaaaaaaaay-caaaaaa. What’s a cloaca?M...
I finally used my Anna Sui fabric!! Are you finally happy Paulette? I turned it into this springy drawstring dress. I really like it quite a bit. It’s the perfect “throw-on” dress and I often need th...
This fabric has been lingering in my fabric stash for a while. I’ve decided to stop being afraid of it and finally use it. This Anna Sui print was given to my by my beautiful friend, Paulette. She ga...
I made aprons before using this pattern. New house = new aprons. Me: What the hell* are you two doing? Floral Kid: Flipping pancakes! Look at my stern-concentrate-y face!!!Pink Kid: Testing th...
This is finally an issue I can get behind. I loved my 2008 and 2009 issues. 2010 and 2011 were not banner years for the magazine in my opinion but that could have been colored by my own personal tast...
I never know if I get special stuff from Fabric.com or not. Just in case you guys didn’t get this in your inbox . . . Enjo...
This is a super easy knit top but who doesn’t need lots and lots of knit tops? This Burda version was really long and was more like a dress on me. I cut a size 34 which was the smallest size for this...
I decided to go with the third option. I liked the shape of the skirt, liked the height at the waist, and thought the horizontal hip darts were a cool feature. With the busy-ness of this print, you c...
I have this fun rayon burn-out fabric from GorgeousFabric.com and I’ve been trying to figure out to use it. It’s a border print so it’s been kind of hard to use. It’s very see through so I’ll have to...
I jut had this photo op this weekend with all the jammies and thought you guys would love to see how big the kidlets have gotten. I swear I’m actually working on actual sewing projects too. It’s funn...
I won’t bore you with any details. You’ve heard them all here and here. This time I used a cute cotton knit with buggies for my son and a Malden Mills Polartec 200 pair of pants. Poor kid is skinny a...
I told you guys there were a few more sets of these. These sets are for my son. I’ve got one completely done and the other set should be done in a day or so. I just need about 10-15 minutes to finish...
This is not a hard project at all. From cutting to hand sewing my opening shut, it took less than an hour. I used one of the sweater knits from Fabric.com that came in the mail a few weeks ago. It’s ...
Okay, here’s the second pair. Next I need to make some for my son. He requested “warm fuzzy” jammies so that is what I will make him. I used the same KwikSew 3234 pattern for these. I also use...
I know I’ve told you over and over again how much I love this pattern. I’ve made it so many times (here, here, here, here, here, and here to name a few) and the kids love this pattern. They beg for n...
I often make or improvise my own tools for the sewing room. I figured I show one to you today that I use often. I often try to use embroidery thread on my sewing machine and sometimes doesn’t work be...
I have a weird ass kitchen window and I thought you crafty/creative ladies could help me out with what to do here. My house was born in 1981 and so it’s bit dated. It has VERY WHITE walls, dark trim,...
I made another Jalie cross top. I’ve made a couple of these. I made a sleeveless version with the cute little shoulder ties and two long sleeved versions. On those versions the empire waist was just ...
I told you guys I had been doing some sewing. I’ve been needing a house robe for quite a while. You know, when kids get up in the middle of the night, when you have house guests, when you cook breakf...
