Mo Camo!! | Circle Skirt and Mesh Tee Dupe

Ok, we've all established my love for camo right?!! Here, and here.

M6612 | Cowl Maxi

Hey Guys!! Long time no see, is it March yet? This year is moving too fast, gahhh.

I hope everything is going great for you in your sewing lab, my cave stays busy!! Unfortunately, I just can't seem to find time to blog about it! 

A Lil Mermaid

I don't make a lotta skirts, but when I made this one it was sooo comfortable and easy I had to make it again, and again and again......

I've always loved the silhouette of the mermaid dress or skirt. However, I've never 
had much success in finding any that flattered my invisible lady humps.
 Most mermaid skirts that I've tried on, didn't really fit me, or gave 
me that "BAM", I was hoping for, lol. 

M6696 | A Shirtdress that Fits

Hey Sew Family, missed you!

I've always struggled when it comes to finding a great fitting shirt, blouse or even 

shirtdress for that matter. When you're top heavy or a big busted gal, nothing ever fits right 

especially if it buttons up! Off the rack I often deal with the infamous gaping, or have to settle for

 a full blousey, or shapeless fit. This is one reason why I love sewing, "fit and options"!  When I came across this pattern I immediately loved all the options, full or straight skirt, sleeveless, short sleeve and quarter length sleeves. I love a yoke back but most importantly, "no need to do an FBA"  

this baby includes multiple cup sizes!!! What's not to love!

S1283| Camo Crazy

Like many in the sewing community, I was very excited to hear about Mimi G.'s collaboration 

with Simplicity! I've been inspired by her creations for many years,  and couldn't wait 

for the release of her patterns. 

S1283

I was very happy, and lucky my local Hancock had both her patterns when they came out, 

so I snatched them up almost as soon as they put them on the shelves! What's even more awesome

 as the beautiful, hip patterns, was the step-by-step video tutorials released in 

conjunction with both patterns!

M6884 | And our Son's new baby

Hey guys I hope you had a wonderful weekend!!! My family and I sure did.

If you're friend on FB, you may know that my son is in the FFA. Earlier this year

he competed in a calf scramble at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. He was able to rustle down a baby calf to raise for scholarship funds. Well, on Sunday he got his calf. Yea! 

She's still a baby.

Having a son in the FFA is a lot of responsibility. This aint his first rodeo, tho! lol

We've had rabbits, pigs and now a Heifer. (Insert Green Acres song here)  He's been planning ahead for college very responsibly and I'm very proud of him!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I made this dress a few weeks ago and it was pretty pleasant to sew. I didn't have to 

alter it in anyway so that's always a good thing for me!  

The front is a mock wrap dress, and I made view A. I don't have any yellow in my closet, but this year I decided to try more golds and yellows. I've always had in my head that I was too dark for yellow and orange colors so I steered away from them. I'm still not to sold on it, but I'm trying.
