Alright, before I move on to Facet No. 2 I need to report on Facet No. 1. (Facet No. 1 is "The Two A's": Attitude and Appearance.) I better start off by saying, Hi, my name is liZ and I'm a pajama-aholic. I'm trying to fight it but right now I'm loosing the battle. I've been doing the get up and get ready first thing everyday just like Mrs. Hoole says---and that's cool but most days I just get up, put on a clean pair of...um...shall we call them yoga pants?...and a t-shirt then do my hair ...

Thrifted Thursday—The Endora Top..a Tutorial
A few weeks ago I bought a garbage sack sized "grab bag" of vintage fabric at a thrift store. It was pretty awesome---full of all sorts of 1960 something goodness like the fabric I made this shirt out of. Now, I'm not really sure what kind of fabric this is...all I know is that it's old, blousy, and I LOVE IT. (And it reminded me of something that Endora, Samantha's mom, would have worn on "Bewitched"...) Anyways, this afternoon I was looking at it and decided to make Grace a little ... View the Post
The Best Giveaway EVER {at least for sewers, it is!}
* THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*One of the questions I get asked quite often is "where did you get your dress form?" Because I use mine. ALL. THE. TIME. For example, I use mine while looking at necklines while drafting a pattern, seeing where I should put embellishments or trims, and most often for photographing clothing. I LOVE it because unlike children IT NEVER MOVES!!!! I can spend time getting my lighting, aperture and shutter speed perfect, which is a rarity in real time.So, when people ... View the Post
More Onesie Embellishments
Last month I got to share a baby project over at Delia Creates for her Nesting series. (She's had her baby by the way---and she's beautiful.) But I never posted it over here... ...and since my baby Ruth has been sick with a fever for the past 4 days I haven't sewn much. So today I'm re sharing these...which isn't a bad thing...and anytime I can talk about baby Ruth I'm a happy mom. So here she is: Five months ago I had Ruth. Bald, beautiful, blue-eyed baby Ruth. I'm in love. I'm ... View the Post
A Nautical Dress {made from the thrift store}
I literally squealed inside when I found this skirt below at the thrift store. It was love at first hanger-pull, because I have been on the lookout for a pleated 80's rayon goodness skirt for a while now.At first I wanted the skirt all.to.myself. (Ok. Being honest, I still do.) I envisioned cutting off the top....cinching it in a bit and making a knee-length nautical skirt for me. But when I brought her home and realized that the pleated part would be well above my knees (darn) I decided it ... View the Post
