Halloween Project: Link .... Wait, what?
I have a rule with my kiddos. They must make up their mind on their Halloween costume by October 1. This gives me plenty of time to (procrastinate and finally) make the costumes. If they change their mind in the subsequent weeks before Halloween, they must make do with something from the costume box ( Read more... ) -
Halloween Project: Glitter Peace!
I made some good progress on Vee's costume. For those of you that don't remember, here is a reference photo:

Pink Tea
I found the fabric for the Pink Tea so underwhelming that I almost didn't do anything or even plan on going. Then Beth talked me into it by mentioning I should just do something really easy, like a Regency spencer or something. I immediately thought of the Curtain-Along spencerino that I love, and remembered how truly quickly that pattern goes ( Read more... ) -
Jedi Robe
Monday, I worked on my brother's Jedi robe pattern. I was working with some stash fabric, a nice heavy-ish cotton twill. Not movie accurate, but free, and I don't think he is going for the Rebel Legion or anything. I laid it all out for the original pattern and realized I was two yards short on fabric. After some consultation with him, he decided ( Read more... ) -
Fabric warehouses?

The Mandalorian: Glamour Shots
Hehe. I know, I know. This costume is old news. Actually, it's kind of one of the things I love about it - I don't *have* to have a new outfit every time. Not that I ever do that (new things every time), but I wish I had the motivation to do All The New Things. LOL ( Read more... ) -
Add RSS Feed in LJ now?
At the top of my Friends feed is a button that says "ADD RSS FEED." This is only available to paid members, so I was wondering if any of my friends have used this, and if so, does it work well for you? I may consider upgrading to a paid account for this alone, since I'm sick of Bloglovin and my Daily Feed email with all the "suggested" or "most ( Read more... ) -
The Laurel Green Spencer
I chose my fabric, and since I am in the time crunch now, I'm not doing a mock up. I'm just going to go for it and hope for the best. Well, kinda like I always do, honestly. The only time I really do mock ups is if it's the lining of something, heh. Ah, well. Some day I will be awesome and do the mock up. Today is not that day ( Read more... ) -
