Dog Snoods……It’s whats for dinner!
For those Long eared Loves in your life the smooth and sassy way to keep those Ears free of ……well……what’s for dinner is a dog snood! Been putting these little bad boys off (Snoods….not the boys!) for quite some time. Now I have this fun little collection…
It’s Throw Back Thursday……in a fabric kind of way
This is the first car that I ever learned to drive!! Super Stick Shift…….seriously, by today’s standards. How fun is this fabric?? I know, pretty cool huh? Can’t WAIT to make some wonderful aprons out of the Volkswagon Peace Train! Coming soon to Pike Place Market! ;-)

Vintage Bicycle Apron available for a limited time!
It’s BaaaaaaaaacK! Yes indeed, that very favorite Vintage Bicycle apron is back for a very limited time. I am going to let those in the know get first shot at it as many of you don’t live near Seattle and wouldn’t know it’s returned! It went so quickly last time it made my head spin!!…

Simplicity 3852 for those little male rascals in your life!
Here is a great little pattern for all the men in your life. This pattern comes with a toddler outfit, shirts for boys and a shirt for your man! I believe if it didn’t have button holes it would be a super fast and easy pattern. Not sure why it’s not but it’s a great…
Vogue 1241, so easy and so elegant
I love the lines on this pattern. You couldn’t see them very much from the pattern photo as they used a busy print pattern. But if you are going to use a solid piece of fabric, those lines just pop! Love this dress. And I do love the fabric I chose. For a change…
Simplicity Pattern 2443 by Cynthia Rowley…hurry up summer!
I love just about anything Khaki-Jackety-Safari looking. This was so much fun to make and it came together pretty flawlessly. It’s lightweight…or I suppose you could make it heavier, but I love the lightness with the sleeveless accompanying dress. Cool for this summer’s heat wave….(hurry up and get here!!) Love my new top!! One thing:…
Butterick Pattern 5637 for a friend
Butterick Pattern 5637 is a comfy (you can tell I am into comfy for sure) and casual summer top/dress. I love this top. I made it for a friend. She’s the best, what can I say. I also have plans to make this into the dress for me this summer. It’s a fun top to…
Butterick Pattern 5677 super comfy, kinda classy and fun to make.
Another dress from my Dome show, turned out really well. This dress was a really nice looking, pretty easy and comfortable dress. I had some issues with the lining at the neckline and sleeves. It keeps wanting to crawl out and say hi to everyone which had me pulling it down from the bottom.…
Butterick 5554 when they say fast and easy……they mean it!
This is another dress I will make again. And this time I am thinking no sleeves or the long sleeves. I had a small issue with the sleeves or rather I should say “don’t sew after midnight if you have never made the pattern”. Hence I tended to put them in at a wrong angle!…
Kathy Ireland’s Butterick Pattern 6536…….the gazillionaire strikes again.
YES, It’s too embarrassing AGAIN to say how long ago I started this pattern. I found it in my stash and being a knit dress had to finish it. That was my fear to overcome this year…….Knit fabric. Yep Knits, and funny timing on the Kathy Ireland pattern. I had no idea what a power…
Vogue Pattern 7937 and ten years later!
It’s too embarrassing to say how long ago I started this pattern. One day while I was downtown on my lunch hour, I saw a gal walking down Sutter Street in San Francisco with this fabulous skirt on. Thought I was in a 1940’s movie. Then low and behold shortly after I found the…
Butterick 5455 from Maggy London
This was my favorite of all the dresses I made for the Tacoma show. Comfy, cool when you are working and really elegant. A customer favorite too. It is tricky about the top sewing bodice to interfacing…..translation “It’s a lot of hand sewing” and I couldn’t imagine why they said you could even sew part…
