    Blue Ginger Doll Anne + Violet

        I had intended this to be my entry for the Blue Ginger Doll #getyourkniton contest, but didn’t get it posted even remotely close to the deadline. I ended up with a casual dress I really like though, so I still win. I’ve had this strange novelty knit fabric in my stash for several…

  • Lady Skater Dress: With Lace Fabric Upgrade

    Lady Skater Dress: With Lace Fabric Upgrade

      Nothing groundbreaking here. Just another Lady Skater Dress. This is a pattern I’ve made several times before, but this one is still special. From my stash, the main fabric is a lovely, heavy cotton-y lace printed up in some of my favorite colors to wear, black, several unapologetic pinks, and various beige-tan-taupe shades.   The bodice…

    This month the Stash-busting group has several optional themes. I was pondering which of them I could do while still making things from my planned project queue when I realized I was actually in the middle of making something red. Finishing up this project was much easier than trying to figure out which piece in my…

    Jungle January 2015

    I’m barely squeaking in at the last minute here, but I did get a Jungle January project done and got some pictures to turn out. Anne has hosted this party for 3 years now and having participated the first 2 times, I didn’t want to miss out. I was originally inspired by a couple of Pinterest…
