As you saw earlier, I made a witch costume for my pup. It was loosely based off of Butterick 4885. Basically I used the pattern for the base. I shortened the length and added the skirt which was just two layered ruffles. I also added a ruffle at the neckline instead of the collar. Finally,…
This year for Halloween, my little fur girl was a witch. It was a quick costume I tossed together in about 3 hours including the time it took to go to the store and buy the fabric. About 2 hours of that was real sewing. She really looked quite adorable in it despite the fact…
Yesterday I took a class at A Work of Heart where we made a Tim Holtz style collage. This is my finished collage! I think it came out nicely. It’s not my usual style so I’m not sure where I’ll put it yet, but the thought was the kitchen. My favorite part was the old…
Recently I was dancing at the local Renaissance Faire. I needed an old world costume. Specifically they said 14th or 15th century. This one was pushing it a little bit since it’s technically 16th or 7th century, but qualified well enough considering some of the other things I saw there. The pattern is from the…
So my friend Coco is a lioness. It’s kinda an inside joke, but it’s cuz she’s fierce. I felt the need to emblazon this on a shirt for her so she could advertise this to everyone else. Plus it gave me an excuse to try out my rhinestones. I started by laying out the words…
Well, it’s been several months since I posted to Pigs In Pajamas, but I have good reason. During this time, we came up to the finishing stages of our basement. As part of this basement, I’m getting a dance studio and a sewing studio. I’m super excited about it! But it’s taken all my extra…
You may recall that last week I posted about my Chicken Tikka Masala Cook-Off. One of the ways I made it special was by creating little themed tent cards to label each dish with its number. At first I was going to cut the design out of the tent card and put a piece of…
I was going to post about my tent cards from my Chicken Tikka Masala Cook-Off on Friday, but since this is Valentine’s themed, I wanted to give people a chance to make it in time for Valentine’s Day if they needed to. So I needed a box to give some raspberry jam to a friend…
So there’s a bit of a back story to this one. My husband loooooves chicken tikka masala. But not just any chicken tikka masala. Specifically he liked the chicken tikka masala (CTM) from a local restaurant (Godavari formerly known as Sue’s). We were supposed to go there for his birthday last year but they had…
Our trainer has told us to always have a small handle to grab on Minnie’s collar so that we can correct her if she barks, jumps, etc. Any behavior she’s not supposed to do. I could just tie a piece of fabric to it, but that’s not me. So I made a mini leash which…
