Ok, so I was being really good about limiting my fabric intake. But, well, then I happened to come across some really great pieces that just had to come live in my stash. And this seemed to happen a every time I went to a fabric store to pick up some thread, or at every amazing … More Stash Confession of Epic Proportions
First of all… Happy Pi Day! Second of all… Yes, this post contains projects finished in 2013. I haven’t been good about taking pictures lately. So, it turns out I did actually end up making some pants in 2013. At the very very very end. My sister and I got invited to a New Year’s … More Not A Pattern Review: Pajama Party Edition
I have been a bit of a bad blogger. Well, lazy at least. A few weekends ago Elizabeth of SEWN suggested a bit of a blogger meet up in the LA garment district. I thought it would be fun to go before I have to start running around looking for skating costume materials (oh man you … More Blogger Meet Up and Lofty Fabrics
This was my last fabric haul of the year. I was being pretty good about not buying more fabric, until I had to go to the local independent fabric shop to pick up a few things for some upcoming skating costumes and ended up coming home with a lot of things for myself as well… … More End of the Year Fabric Buys
There are always awesome sales in November, especially around Black Friday, and my stash sort of accidentally grew because of them… From Fashion Fabrics Club: Black/Green Teal ITY Knits (destined to be wrap dresses), and a houndstooth double knit.

I don’t often post when sewing sales happen – as many stores aren’t accessible to a lot of my readers, and I kind of figure that if you want to know when sales happen you will have signed up for a mailing list somewhere along the way. But Black Friday is a bit different. Keeping … More Sewing Savings – Black Friday Deals
Ok, so I was doing really well about not buying fabric. And then there were a bunch of sales on a lot of fabric I had been thinking about for upcoming projects. At the same time. So I may have increased my stash a little bit… From Fashion Fabrics Club: I am always on the … More Fabric Confessions
Well, I was planning to sew from and NOT add to my stash. Ooops. Silly online sales of awesome tempted me. And amazing fabric finds from LA. What can I say. I am weak. Of course, to be entirely fair, my posting is also a bit backlogged, so this is really several months worth of fabric buying. … More Fabric Gluttony: So Much for Minimizing the Stash
I have been posting photos of my trip to and from Albuquerque. Of course, being me, while I was there I had to visit every fabric store in the city! Oh, and I managed to get in a side trip to Santa Fe as well. All in all I managed to visit four fabric stores, … More Tales from the Road: New Mexico Fabric Finds
Ok, so I know I have seen a lot of crazy fabrics on other sewing blogs and often thought WTF? (The infamous silk South Park fabric comes to mind.) Now, I have seen some ugly fabrics in my time, but never anything so terrible I had to share it with the internet. Well, at least, … More What the Fabric: Celebrating the 4th
