Right now my sewing table is stacked with partially completed projects...I can think of at least 6 that are almost complete just in the first layer of my sewing salad.Before I begin any new projects I need to finish or dispose of this pile.That is my job for the week. Which will include finishing this dress---all that is left is the pinafore. (Plus a pair of knee highs, and some serious time spent with the hair brush...poor girl...)Wish me luck. ... View the Post
$5 Friday…Project #2 with white Kona cotton.
So, another great thing about Kona cotton is that it dyes well....so I've heard.....and so I wanted to try it. Again, I wish I were getting paid in fabric....but no, it's just a personal opinion. Project #2 is a lace skirt tutorial. Two skirts actually. I found some awesome vintage lace at the thrift store for $2.99 that I wanted to make into a lace skirt that was inspired by this even more awesome dress (she is what I hope to be someday). Again, I just made a simple skirt, layered the ... View the Post
Levi Extensions
Like Elizabeth, I am having "too short" issues with my daughter's clothes. However, our problem is with pants. Her Levi's to be exact. Gracie has gotten too tall for her Levi's but with spring almost here I refuse to go out and buy a bunch of new pants. I just can't afford it. But I also don't want her running around like a hillbilly. (No offense to any hillbillies that may be reading this post.) So here's my solution---5 minutes with my sewing machine and some white eyelet scraps...It ... View the Post
3 things to do with some white Kona cotton….Project 1.
I love kona cotton. I really do. The quality is great and always washes up so much nicer than other broadcloth. (I do use cheaper broadcloth...trust me...but I do love Kona cotton--it has a much better thread count than most broadcloth but is still so soft.) Lots of quilters use it for that reason.....but I love it for clothing. It is the best.And I have quite a bit of white at the moment....so I am intent on making some things with it. Hence, stick around for some more things with white ... View the Post
Flour Sack Nightie
I love flour sacks. They feel clean and crisp and old all at the same time. And because I love them I am always trying to think of ways that I can use them. This is what I came up with recently...some new night gowns for my little girl. (She loves night gowns as much as I love flour sacks.) Here's what I did: I roughly traced the outline of a favorite nightgown onto some butcher paper. Then I got rid of the sleeves and added few inches over the shoulders to make straps that would button. ... View the Post
The Bustle Skirt Tutorial.
*This tutorial is for personal use only. Please contact us to buy a limited-use permit to sell any item made from this tutorial.* The tutorial you (or I should say I) have been on pins and needles for..... The Bustle Skirt. A couple of notes that people have asked that are not answered in the tutorial. What type of fabric did you use? Both the yellow and the purple skirts are bottomweight fabric. The yellow fabric was $1.50 on red tag clearance, which I think I ... View the Post
