I tested my newly tuned up sewing machine by making a little needlework bag. I bought the materials for the bag a couple of years ago and kept over analyzing how to build it. In a fit of procrastination last weekend I just did it without making...

This is driving me nuts. For the last couple of seasons I keep seeing these adorable crochet lace jackets for tots and little girls, but I can't find a pattern anywhere. Last year I tried to copy a crochet top bubble jumper that I saw and ended up...

F Needlepoint #1 Kids' Embroidery: Projects for Kids of All Ages

F made his second project in needlework, a needlepoint drink coaster. I think it came out rather nice. Eric and I probably did about half of the work, but F did all of the edging and is very proud of it.

The Checkered Quilt Checkered Quilt Reverse

On Christmas Eve I completed Miss V's quilt. Hooray. She's only 13 months old, she'll never know, right? Many thanks to drinkumbrella for creating and tracing the Amish Wave quilt pattern for me. I will never do scalloped bias hemmed edges on a...

I finished the 9 month size raglan sweater. Just in time, too, since it just fits her. The 12 mo. that she has been wearing is a mess, it shrunk up so it fits, but it is too wide and the neck hole is always around her shoulders. So a sweet new ...

A Girl & Her Buggalo AJ & Betsy

I sacrificed listening to Heidi's radio show today (*sniff*) for the greater good (a.k.a. peace in our household): I finally sewed together a stuffed Buggalo for three-year-old Annika. One of Annika's favorite TV shows is Futurama, and her favorit...

I dragged the kids with me to the fabric store this week for more felt for my Christmas decor project. While there, Freeman was immediately taken with the fake fur. I thought about it and decided that a little bed pillow was something I could do....

McCalls M4814 - Tiered Dress Star Dress

I knocked out a pullover flared & tiered dress for the twirling dervish today. Now that the weather is chilly, Annika only wants to wear dresses (naturally), and the bigger (longer, swirlier) and more princess-like the better. The fabric store wa...

Pink Skirt

Between the extreme girlieness I have been sewing for AJ and my Scrabulous addiction on Facebook, my dreams have turned into weird pink problem-solving affairs where I'm trapped in yards of gathers and lettered tiles. But I digress! Here is the ...

My model shows that the sweater is too large, so now I am knitting a smaller size. *sigh*
