Sewing For Boys Sew Along: 2-in-1 Jacket

By 6 Comments

I can't believe this is the last pattern in our "Sewing For Boys" sew along.  I've had so much fun sewing my way through this great book.  I held out on the 2-in-1 Jacket, a little intimidated by sewing an outerwear garment but I shouldn't have been. The pattern is wonderful to sew and the the directions straight forward and … [Read more...]

By 15 Comments

Here we are in week THREE of the Project Run and Play season and I've finally completed a design to sew along.  Between the broken down sewing machine, waiting for the new sewing machine to arrive, and the entire family falling prey to the flu this past week, I was starting to doubt my ability to play along.

How insane is that?  I'm so grateful to those of you who've helped to keep me motivated and moving through these fabulous patterns. When picking this month's pattern I was trying to … [Read more...]

Goodnight Sweetheart Pajamas

By 9 Comments

The overly ambitious plan, this month, was to make a coordinating trio of Goodnight Sweetheart PJs, but alas, because of my clear inability to stick with what's on a "To Do" list, I've finished just one set.  If you remember, these were on the list at the beginning of the month during KCWC.  I'll continue to blame the delayed fabric … [Read more...]
