Cashmerette Fiske Pajamas in Night Sky Rayon
I meant to post this over a week ago, but between travel and work, life got the better of me, so you’re getting it now. These are the Fiske Pajamas from Cashmerette, their latest pattern. I actually made 2 sets of these for the release, so you’ll get another post tomorrow about the second set.…

Little Mermaid top (aka Simplicity 8634)
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…

Class Project: Faux Wrap Dress
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…

Lab Project: Bathrobe
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…

New needle plate
So I finally got my new needle plate which means I can keep working on my Sophia bag. My new needle plate has inches, not millimeters which is so much more useful since almost all the patterns I have here are in inches. The machine (Husqvarna Viking Platinum 950e) was made in Europe though so…

Sophia Bag
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…
