It is still hot as blazes here....but we needed a new and quick back to school dress. So a 30 minute peasant dress and some Old Navy leggings did the job perfectly. I cut the dress a bit longer, shirred 4 or 5 rows to make it drop-waisted and added a ribbon on top and we were done!P.S. Liz and I are still recovering from our craft market-experience which went so well. We promise to tell you all about it soon.A huge thank you to all of you who came and introduced yourselves..... we get a ... View the Post

We finished setting up our booth last night....and it was a ... View the Post
Wicked
So I guess this post is as close as I'll ever come to a "What I Wore Wednesday"... I bought this shirt over the summer when Elizabeth and I made our day trip over to the LA Fashion district. I kind of love it but haven't had a reason to wear it until last week when I went to see Wicked. I hadn't ever seen Wicked (I know...I'm behind the times) but it was really great. I loved the story, the set, and the costumes...dude...I LOVED the costumes. They had this great steam punk/ 80's vibe...and ... View the Post
A Project of Unusual Size…..
Things have been a little quiet here on the sewing front. But, we promise it's for a good reason. We have been working on a project of unusual size.....that has involved a LOT of sewing and a lot of hot glue. We are doing our one and only craft market this coming weekend, and it's been a big job. We have been on the phone joking with each other at the end of conversations that we are going back to our "sweatshops" aka sewing rooms to try and get stuff done. The projects have been fun, but ...

Draft your own Drawstring Pants Tutorial.
