ReplyDeleteAs you may have read in my blog recently, we love us some twirly skirts. I may just have to try that one (with help from my seamstress-y aunt, that is!).
ReplyDeleteCute stuff, Stacy. SOOOO crafty!
Sooooo cute Stacy! Nice work. Love, Tami
ReplyDeleteCute Stacy!
ReplyDeleteAnd inspiring me to get busy and get some fabric for an apron I saw the other day and decided to make for myself.

Cutzi,
ReplyDeleteWHY YES! Wouldn't you know it... I ordered that VERY pattern as soon as I saw that it was now available! :)
I love that apron!

Just discovered your blog and love it-very inspiring. I have a 2 year old and we're considering/praying about homeschooling her. Love your sewing projects.
ReplyDeleteLove the projects!!! Thank you for sharing them --- I noticed I'm no longer in your side bar links :(
ReplyDeleteI'll keep checking in with you tho, I sooo enjoy your blog!! Take care, Lisa

Goodness, I love all your projects!! The kids' aprons? So cute! And I love the way your little sons are looking at each other in the picture.
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy :) Such pretty projects! Thanks so much for the twirly skirt tutorial! My sweet Miss M would love one :) Love, Q
ReplyDeleteLisa?
ReplyDelete~Gasp!~
Problem solved!
~Stacy
I am so, so blessed that my girl and me were the recipients of two of these lovely projects!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good seamstress.
Thank you!
Marvelous! I've been searching for a cute, simple skirt pattern for Hallie - thanks for linking to this one, it's too cute (as are the aprons!)
ReplyDeleteI feel part of the club again...hee-hee. Thanks Stacy.
ReplyDeleteHow did you make the tea towel aprons for the kids? Please share!
Blessings, Lisa
I am in awe. I have high hopes of learning to quilt someday, but...um...as of today, the last time I touched a sewing machine was in the seventh grade. So...I'm in awe.
ReplyDeletePerfect projects for those rainy day's?! For the record I wasn't whining about the rain, but we've seriously gotten day's and buckets of it. I was born in Tacoma, and spent many a summer, rainy wet cold summer's up there in what Dad likes to refer to as God's country.In fact, I was up there 3 summer's ago and I froze! Laugh all you want - here or there, this or that much rain is enough!At least for me and my house - we will seek the sun! ;)
ReplyDeleteBTW, you are gettin' stuff done when you can sit and sew. Sometimes we have to make a trade off. Pick up that pile right now? Or make a memory and build a skill. You chose the right priority in my book. Can't say that of my self.
Okay, so when does your new Etsy shop open? :) These are all lovely- good job, Mama!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I LOVE your projects. The apron you made from Amy is just gorgeous! You are so creative - I loved seeing all of the things you made. I'm with Elise here -- open a shop already!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy sewing, but need *very simple* projects. My seamstress-friend was just saying the other day how she thought I could totally make a twirly skirt for my little Audrey. I'm so excited to try this tutorial! And it guides me step by step!-even better!
ReplyDeleteAnd the aprons are great! I had an old one that I made in High School HomEc that I passed on to my Jaedon (http://stephanie-fishoutofwater.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-cook-in-house.html), but Audrey needs one and you have inspired me to take the plunge and make her one soon!
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThe tea towel aprons were so easy I'm almost embarrassed to tell you.
I just folded them in half, lengthwise, and then cut through the two layers to make it look apron-y at the top. :) Easy.
~Stacy
OH. Well, then I hemmed the sides and sewed on ribbon (for Ella), bias tape (for the boys) for the neck and ties...
ReplyDelete~Stacy
I love that you are finally getting into this sewing thing more. I always knew you'd be good at it. You are so creative and crafty. Still waiting for you to make something for me. I'm sure there's some Steelers fabric online somewhere.
ReplyDeleteLoving you, Mark
