Burda 9433: Navy Windowpane Suit
Before I start in on today’s project, I wanted to mention that I recently had the privilege of being interviewed as this month’s Member in Focus for Pattern Review. I talk about my early days of sewing, and boiled down a description of my personal style into just 8 words. You can read the article on their…

I’ll Get Those Plumbers: Koopa King Costume
I’ve been more in sewing mode than I have in blogging mode lately. If you happen to follow me on Instagram (I’m @carihomemaker), you may have noticed a lot of in-progress sewing that hasn’t made it’s way over to finished blog photos. Hopefully I’ll get around to blogging at least the most interesting stuff, like…

Ottobre 1/2013: Casual Batman
This is Ace. Being the youngest kid, he ends up wearing a lot of hand-me-downs and gets fewer brand-new clothes than the other kids. When I do make him things, I like to make sure he gets unique things. Last year, he got his bat-suit, and he still wears it quite often. Since he’s in…

Burda 9781: Boy’s Three-Piece Suit
I really didn’t intend for my 50th stash-busting project to be posted on the very last day of the year, but that seems to be how it worked out. I met my pledged goal from the beginning of the year, 50 projects sewn from my stash. I actually over-achieved this goal, but not everything got…

BurdaStyle 8/2012 #152: Preppy Green Shirt
After some of my recent postings, this seems like a bit of an anticlimactic project. I know not everyone gets excited about seeing kid’s projects rather than women’s clothes. It’s nice to finally get it off my desk though; it’s been sitting around partly done for pretty much the entire summer. This is BurdaStyle 8/2012…

It’s OK–He’s With The Band
It seems a long time since I’ve posted. I know there’s all those rules out there about how to run a successful blog, usually involving something about posting on a usual day/multiple times per week, but the only rule that really makes sense to me is that one about only posting if you have something worth…

Always Be Yourself. Unless You Can Be Batman, Then Always Be Batman
I don’t even know how to preface this project. Maybe a short back-story? Maybe not. Lets just say that Ace (like most children) has an active imagination and loves costumes. Unfortunately, I can’t find Ace lately. Batman seems to have moved in with us, and I’m sure Ace would love to meet him, but I…

February Monthly Stitch Project: Mr. Smarty Pants
The Monthly Stitch theme for February was pants. Out of all the members of our household who need pants, Romeo is the one who needed them the most, so I made him so new jeans. Obviously I did not make the top part of his outfit, would you believe that the shirt and hoodie…

A Much-Needed Boy’s Winter Coat
It’s gotten cold here. Some sources started saying coldest late autumn weather in 15 years, then I started hearing coldest in 42 years. Either way, at some point today I heard someone refer to 34 degrees as “balmy” in comparison to the temps last week. Unfortunately, Romeo had outgrown his winter coat, and he needed…
