It Looks Better on Her!!

(I'm going to go ahead and post this, but I feel the need to apologize for the photography. I'm a bit embarrassed. I had picture taking drama for this. My first try ended up with my new lens now getting repaired when I noticed how they were not focused. Second try was with a camera I'm… Continue reading It Looks Better on Her!!

Sew Your Stash

June 12, 2018 mamidesofiona16 Comments

Little secret? I had totally planned to enter this for Circus week in the Project Run and Play sew-along. I figured ice-cream shirt = circus food or something like that. But further thinking and I realized that this was suitable for Sew Your Stash week. Why am I telling you this? I just gave away… Continue reading Sew Your Stash

Circus Act!!

June 9, 2018 mamidesofiona3 Comments

Oh man! Here I am, hours before a Project Run and Play sew-along deadline submitting my own entry. What's new? That's kinda how I roll. (Even though I don't prefer that method.) The funny part? I didn't even sew this recently so my excuse for submitting this now is a bit weak. Just a bit… Continue reading Circus Act!!

My Best 5 of 2017

December 20, 2017 mamidesofiona12 Comments

It's been a little quiet on the blog front. That's ok though. At this point, I don't have ambitions to write a blog post on any type of schedule. But lately on IG (where I do enjoy my online sewing friend socialization) I've seen the hashtag #sewingtop5 and I went searching for what that was… Continue reading My Best 5 of 2017

I was gifted these awesome monstera cuttings. Now I’m wondering how long I should expect to wait for roots to peek out. Anyone familiar with these? #propagatingmonstera #plantpropagation
These mini wildflowers are so beautiful and they are up for preorder by @prairieloveknits again. Since they’re just that good. There are 2 new colour ways as well which is exciting. I’m thinking about a maxi dress and this just might be the fabric for it. #plkpreorder #sofimissromper #sewalltheflowers
Another @seeyouatsixfabric make using these pretty diagonal stripes in FT. I was intrigued with the idea of a sleeveless #soficaribou and then had some fun with a different hem. Of course, matching cuffing always makes me happy and I used some around the arms. #sofionadesigns
My first time using @seeyouatsixfabric and I made up a set using FT from the new spring line. I wanted to try a cropped pair of Railway joggers and they turned out so well. I love this length. I shortened the leg and the cuff and then I brought the leg width in a size from the crotch point down. We hear a LOT of “I want Railway in my size” and today I join that chorus. 😆 #sofirailway #seeyouatsixfabrics #cropjogger #motojoggers

Chicago….something something windy….

Is that really the title of this post?  Yes.  Yes it is.  I put that down, assuming something more cleaver would come to me by the time I was done.  And yet, here we are…. TRISH: We were now really ‘booking it’ to head west again.  Chicago was the last stop we had specific plans […]
