…sewing or blogging! It’s so frustrating, but I know if I set my mind to it, I can get through some fall stuff. I am most stuck on altering my patterns. I want to sew for myself SO badly, but I either get a perfect fit everywhere but the sleeves, or the top is huge [...]
So we have a new forum. It is geared towards sewing, however it’s open to crafty, punky parents in general. It looks kind of cutesy, but I really want this to be fringe Mamas and Papas. Not too right wing, and definitely not conservative. Think Craftster for parents. Come check us out at the new [...]
One of my resolutions this year is to get back on track with all of my assorted sites. Also, I plan on reducing my fabric buying, and even making and selling some boys’ items. And as always, to lose weight! I want to sell some of my stash too, so if anyone needs any boy [...]
So I have a ginormous fabric stash, but it always seems like I don’t have the very basic fabrics that I want (or need). Currently I am looking for red knit fabric – jersey, interlock, whatever – and I really don’t want to have to buy more fabric. So I wonder if there is anyone [...]
I spotted this article, written by Holly Burnham, at Search Warp. Not only can I personally relate to her story, but I was attracted to her beautiful, tongue-in-cheek writing style. I am a sucker for well written prose. I wrote to her and asked if I could reprint her beautiful words here, and she graciously [...]
Okay, many people will read this and say, “So what?”, but here goes. Yesterday I was itching to work on my sewing pile, but I wasn’t sure what ‘big’ project I wanted to work on, so I started in on the little tailoring, touch-up stuff. Hubby’s dress slacks have sat on my work table for [...]
We got back last Tuesday, and boy were we tired. We were all up from 11:30 EST to about 6:00 PM the next day. Then we passed out. Our 3 year old did brilliantly on the flight back, which was appreciated. He usually drives us mad. My MIL took me to the only fabric store [...]
I have this horrible habit of starting a ton of stuff at once, and then procrastinating on things. Thus my neglected blogs. When I die, I hope I am reincarnated into someone that can pay attention. Anyway, we are on our week and a half countdown to our Germany trip. Yay! We are going to [...]
I just ordered the Harry Potter knitting book, ‘Charmed Knits’ by Alison Hansel of the blue blog. I am a terribly huge Harry Potter fan, and the fact that this book, the final book of the series, and a new movie are coming out, all within a month, is greatly taxing my brain. Anyway, I [...]
Just a heads up that I have several types of this fabric available through my auctions right now. Some of these are a bit hard to find, so if you like this sort of stuff, check it out!
