Taking life one cup at a time…
…or German wine, or Canadian wine, or Greek wine… As of May 14, 2015, residents of Pennsylvania may find themselves hard pressed to get their hands on their favorite champagnes, Bordeaux wines, and even Sauvignon Blanc hailing from New Zealand. With the passing of House Bill 189, the sale and shipment of any international wines has …
I’m a bit behind on commenting on releases from pattern companies, I realize that! I’ll have my commentary on the new releases from the other guys soon! I’m playing catch-up since I was wiped out by a wave of pregnancy fatigue so strong…well, you get the idea. This is the pregnancy of fatigue and ravenous …
As if my little gal didn’t already have a bunch of dresses (seriously, though, a girl can never have too many dresses, and she loves them!), I made her two more. I was selected to pretest Sofilantjes’ Brueram Dress. This is a cute pattern that comes with top, dress, and maxi options. It was designed …
I’m really excited to share a new Bow Back Beauty Dress from Little Kiwi’s Closet I created for Little Miss. As you remember, I pattern tested for the onesie peplum version of the dress. I created a stripes version and a floral version upcycling from shirts I’d found at the Salvation Army. I loved this …
So around here, I spend a lot of time making things for myself and the toddler. I have a few great men’s patterns to bust out – and I even got some nice fabric to make my husband some shirts. I’ve got a robe “in progress” for the teenager – but I haven’t finished it. …
So the last post I wrote got a LOT of traffic and attention, and some great comments, and I want to talk about all of that – and I will – in a separate post. Thank you all so much for all of your support and for reading! I feel bad about taking some time …
Today’s post was going to be titled “Versatile Skirt/Dress Made from Sew Cheeky Fabric’s Retro Doodle knit” or something to that effect. I sewed up this great dress that can also be worn as a knee-length skirt or midi-length skirt depending on my mood. I did it without using a pattern – go me! And wahoo …
Recently, I had the opportunity to test out Little Kiwi’s Closet Bow Back Beauty. I was assigned to make 2 bodysuit options in the 6-12 month size. I chose a smaller size, because Little Miss is tiny! She’s such a peanut. I figured, based upon the measurements that it would fit better than the twelve month …
Recently, I had the opportunity to test for Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop. I’ve wanted to do a swimsuit for a while, and I have a collection of swim fabrics built up, but I was nervous since swim fabric can be a challenge. When I was offered the chance to test a swimsuit, I jumped at it. …
Oh boy have I been wanting to share this with you. I recently was able to taste-test two of Volcanica Coffee’s blends. If you haven’t tried this company, you should. They are quite good. I was provided with a credit toward one pound of coffee and shipping; I decided I would try two of their flavors …
