So I realize that I’ve been a total slacker in posting my running costumes. Because let’s face it — I’ve been a total slacker at posting. But look at this! 2 posts already this year. I’m a roll, don’t you think? At any rate, this was a top I made out of some moisture wicking…
Here was my first project for the class. We needed to make either a shirt or a dress. Something with a bodice. Of course I decided to do princess seams because I apparently like to drive myself crazy. No, it’s really cuz I like the way they look. Strangely I didn’t read the package of…
For my lab project, I wanted something quick and easy but also something to use up some fabric I had lying around. I was quite proud that I managed to use only stash fabric for this although it did require some very easy pattern alteration. I’ll admit, it came out a little Hugh Heffner…
Here is the tutorial for making this fabric box. I have pictures for most steps which I find makes things clearer.
I desperately needed to organize my closet (specifically my purses in this case) so I decided to embark on some fabric boxes. I’ve been seeing them around the interwebs for a while and been meaning to try them. I was quite pleased with how mine came out. But even more so, I was pleased that…

And so we continue with our sewing of the Sophia Bag. I think if I recall, I was on step 4.
A while back I got a pattern for the Sophia Carry All by Amy Butler from Sew, Mama, Sew (a really super cool fabric store online). Well, I’ve finally gotten around to at least cutting out the fabric. I’m going to try to take pictures as I go through it, but I’m only so good…
Today was awesome. I came home to find a shipment from Sew, Mama, Sew of some fabric and a pattern I ordered. I got a couple prints from the Ginger Blossom collection by Sandi Henderson for Michael Miller. So pretty. The only problem being that they are sold out now of the ones I like.…
