And with that, I’m done with the fabric stash contest! I’m sooooo far from the people who will be winning but I knew going in that this would happen. Still 15 yards on a total stash of 150 yards? That’s…

KCW: One Last Thing
This week? Was not a good week for productivity. I had the girls with me most of the time on top of a to do list a mile long. I had to go to bed way too late to get this…

A Princess Dress
I’ve made maxi dresses for E but I haven’t even considered it for V. She’s not quite 4 years old and I still don’t think she knows how to manage all that material without tripping over it. But she really…

A Bunch of Leggings
Not the most exciting thing but it’s what the girls wear the most. V’s leggings being mostly hand me downs, they were developing holes. Sure, I mend them, but it’s nice to have some that don’t have parches all over.…

Photo Monday – Father’s Day
It’s been a long time since I’ve done portraits. I wanted to try my hand at some father-daughter ones. In black and white because then, I don’t need to worry about the colors clashing. Result? I need some practice. Family…
So Not the Right Season
I was melting in that thing during the photoshoot. All in the name of stash busting, right? This time, it’s a cotton hacci sweater knit. I think it’s only been there a year. Only. The fabric developed a bit of…
Only Stash Busting
Actually, to be fair, I’ve been wanting to make this ever since I got this book: One-Yard Wonders. It’s just that I always seem to sew clothes instead. But after all the work that I had to do to get…
Photo Monday – The Guggenheim
I actually tried to get the classic Guggenheim picture, inside and out. I only had my 50mm lens though and the angle wasn’t wide enough. I should have taken my other one with me, the 18mm-55mm zoom. The quality isn’t…
Stash Busting Peasant Top
I’d forgotten about this fabric. It’s navy cotton eyelet with a scalloped selvage. I’ve had it for at least two years. I fell in love with it on, uh, fabric.com, I think? I had to have it so I bought…
Two Pinwheels
I’ve had this plaid/gingham cotton double gauze in my stash for over a year. Two years maybe? 3 yards each of two colors. To make each souricette an Oliver + S Pinwheel Dress and Tunic set. And I finally did…
