Super Scary Sewing Stories Week 3

 Welcome to week 3 of super scary sewing stories.Be warned...this week may just be the scariest...and the pictures are freaky...You've been warned.  Story Number One comes from Terra over at Mama Says Sew:"So a lot of my friends know that I like to sew. But I think they overestimate my skill. Which is flattering, but it can also get me into trouble. Like when they volunteer me for things that are out of my league. For example: one of my friends told a girl she knows that I can sew and said that ... View the Post

When Hinges Creak… 5 Halloween Wall Decoration Tutorials for $5 Friday

Last week we posted about my Haunted Mansion inspired wall:  And this week for $5 Friday we are going to share how we made 5 of the items from the wall for less than $5. So let's get started. The very first thing I made for my wall was my two old crows picture: I had this weird old picture of two bath tubs...like I said weird... So I pulled the mat and pictures out of the frame: That's when I discovered the tubs were glued to the mat.  Oh well, that didn't really bother me.  I still went ... View the Post

Easy Paperbag Shirt Dress Tutorial

I have been working on a few pieces for fall this year.  Not too many...but I do have a mini-winter collection coming up in a few weeks, because I can't help but doing something with a color story....I just can't...but for fall I mostly did store-bought (boo...I wish I had more time). But for school, I have made a few things that are easy, comfy and still look super cute on for Hannie to wear year round.  And I decided an update to the tee-shirt dress was in order for school.  It's actually ...

The Unintentional Graphic Print Dress & Another Reason Why I Don’t Post Photos of Myself (Burda Pearl Dress)

Here's the story. I made this dress awhile ago. It's Burda's Pearl Dress pattern. It was the first Burda pattern I'd ever sewn and I it made for practice before I put together my Shuffle Dress.  Fortunately it worked out...and I can wear it.  So I will.  And because of the crazy print on the fabric it will work to be linked up to the Graphic Print challenge sew along that we have going on over at Project Sewn.  So I will do that to. The only problem is this: this: and of course, ... View the Post

Sew It All (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Studio…I just can’t tell you about it)

I've always considered Elizabeth and I more of a Lucy and Ethel sort of pair but last week someone told us that we were just like Thelma and Louise...and after what happened during the 24 hours following that statement I'm wondering if that may be more accurate.(Image Source)Even as I'm sitting here writing this I'm giggling and I can't stop...it's been like this ever since I came home.  But the problem is this:  I can't tell you what is so funny.  Ok, sure, technically I could but it's just not ...
