With Christmas quickly approaching, it was time to turn my attention to a few things that I was going to make and give as gifts. I have found that my favorite gifts to give are homemade, BUT, homemade things are incredibly time consuming! Plan accordingly if you want to give homemade things! Here are some…
Most Sensational, Inspirational, Celebrational, Muppetational; This Is What I Call The Muppet Dress!!
My cousin Elizabeth informed me that she had special Disneyland tickets. Tickets that would get her entry into The Muppet’s Christmas Party on Main Street. Sounds like an incredibly important event to me! Of course, she needed a custom dress for the party. I already had yards and yards of this Muppet fabric in my…
I Love Lucy Too!
I had previously made this pattern in View A but without the frilly collar. I had to drive to Southern California for the weekend to deliver a dress and do a fitting (which will be next week’s post) for my cousin Elizabeth. I knew I was going to be stopping in at my favorite cosmetics…
The Big Day, Finally Here! Part Three and Also The Finale: Sydney’s Wedding!

Scary House, Scary Skirt
I’m finding out that when you have many, many patterns, and are on a quest to sew them all, family starts putting in requests when they have a fun event coming up. I don’t mind, it’s a great way to get some patterns made, and I end up with good pictures of the finished project….
Here Comes The Son
I’ve talked a lot about my daughter on my blog. I have been sewing out of necessity for her. Also, the majority of my patterns are women’s patterns. BUT, I have a son too. David, my son, was home from college one weekend and asked me to make him a shirt. Of course I would!…
