Full and Textured Fabric Flowers

  We can never seem to have enough flowers in our house.  Or fabric. So, to satisfy both things……..I made some new fabric flowers.  Kind of similar to these. But easier and less uniform.  And much harder to mess up. . They are a bit rugged.  And raw.  But I like that. And they can […]

Breezy Skirt, detailed with Lace and Fabric Strips

  I have had a few problems with my newest posts not showing up for some of you readers.  If this is the post that shows up when you click on “Home“…..then there is a cache-ing problem for you and you’re not seeing my most current posts.  To fix this problem…….on your computer up at […]

Baby Girl Sandals (made with faux leather)

      I have a ‘thing’ for making things in miniature size. For some reason, it excites me to make something in itty bitty baby (not barbie) sizes.   So sweet.  So fun.  So enjoyable.   I like making little baby shoes (like the bootie patterns in my shop, here) but today, I gave […]

Spinach and Fruit Summer Salad

Re-purposing: Tshirt into Dress (or Top) with Braided Straps

  Remember my last post? Where I talked about passing by clearanced shirts at Wal-Mart and had to grab one to make a little dress with a braided collar for my baby girl? (Found here.)  Well, the truth is, is that I bought 2 shirts.  Both stripes.  Both soft and light  knit fabric.  Both intended […]

Re-Purposing: Tshirt into a Dress with Braided Collar

  Many times, I like to re-purpose from old clothes in my “donate to the thrift store” pile.  But sometimes, I walk through the store and see an article of clothing on clearance…….and decide that the fabric used would be perfect to re-purpose.  Especially when the piece of clothing is cheaper than buying un-cut fabric.  […]

Blind Hem Stitch (with a sewing machine)

First of all…….thank you, thank you for all of the help, advice, personal experiences, etc. with the PC vs. MAC debate (here).  We weighed the pros, the cons, thought about what we use our computer for, how soon we’ll have to get another computer anyway, etc.   (And haha, it WAS like starting a discussion […]

Computer Advice…..HELP!!

  No, my computer hasn’t crashed.   And this advice isn’t urgent.  But if you have a second, let me pick your brain.     I know people feel strongly one way or the other about this………but the question is, are you a MAC or PC user? And then, of course, why?   image source […]
