Ladybug dress for McKenna

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

At Discover Sewing, where I got my sewing machine, great classes are offered every month.  August I signed up for a yoke dress class and had no idea what I was getting into! I started out by picking an adorable lady bug fabric by fabric finders, and then started the cutting.  And cutting. And cutting.  [...]

Apron for Curi

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Curi and I have been friends since our then-boyfriends, now-husbands worked together in college.  I guess that means I’ve known her for over 8 years!  We’re fortunate enough that we live close to each other, and try to get together for coffee or lunch relatively often.  She’s a super busy SAHM of 3!

We always try [...]

I wanted to go ahead and get my feet wet regarding interfacings, stabilizers and embroidery.  I sure did with this tote.
The sweetest little girl, Sarah, lives across the street from us, and always takes care of our animals when we’re out of town.  She’ll come over to just chat, and often brings us fresh baked [...]

Project #1 – Indygo Junction half apron

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

I wanted to start small enough that I would be able to accomplish, but cool enough to keep me challenged. When I was in San Fran last week, browsing sewing machines at Wee Scotty, they had this apron on display. Its the “ruffled chef” by indygo junction.

I loved the ruffles, and that I had the [...]
