Ponies!
So I am a big fan of My Little Pony.
Pinkie Pie is my favorite. A group of us got together and made outfits to be most of the main ponies.

Long time no post...
So this past year has seen a ton of changes in my life. Loved ones have come and gone. My every day life looks almost nothing like 1 year ago, with the exception of working seasonally at the MOT costume shop.
I am very lucky in my amazing friends. Without them I wouldn’t have made it through.
I’ll be updating the site, and hopefully able to update ( Read more... ) -

Western Vest
I made a western style vest for my husband for his birthday. It’s made from gray canvas and lined with gray silk dupioni. I used Simplicity 2895 view B vest. I liked the pattern with the exception of the pockets. I found many youtube videos online with much easier instructions and patterns for welt pockets.
