Happy Halloween!

With Halloween just around the corner and it's still not too late for some last minute Halloween projects. So I thought I'd share with you some of my ideas on how to whip up some great Halloween crafts!

If you are looking so make a quick and adorable costume for the kids, I've got something for you! From Precious Patterns, I have featured on my website an E-Pattern for a Pumpkin and Dalmatian costume! This is a simple pattern that is easy to fit to your young one's size with an adjustable elastic bottom with ties on top. The pattern also includes instructions on how to make an adorable little hat too!
For the pumpkin costume, I'd suggest adding crumpled up newspaper to make your child look like a big and round pumpkin! Throw this costume over pants and a sweater to keep warm this Halloween!


Next I thought I'd suggest making you own treat bags rather than going out to the store and buying one. Making your own is so much more special and it'll be something your child can keep for years to come! Featured I have the Treat Bags E-Pattern. You can choose from having a ghost, pumpkin, or spider treat bag!


Here's a great and simple E-Pattern for a Pumpkin Bib for your baby this Halloween. Great for those messy treats on Halloween as well as the rest of the fall season!
I hope some of these last minute Halloween project ideas have helped! E-Patterns are great because you can instantly download them and get to work on your project.
Happy Halloween!

What to Wear in Madagascar

To be honest, I have no idea what to wear in Madagascar, and this title may need to be changed to "what NOT to wear in Madagascar" in a few months.  We will have to wait and see.  My 22 year old daughter, Alyssa, left for the Peace Corps this week, and she will be stationed in Madagascar for the next 2 years and 3 months.  Yes, you read that right- TWO YEARS and three months!!! We are very proud of her for wanting to help make the world a better place, and for being fearless in doing so, but it will be a looooong time for Mama and Papa back home. Not knowing anything about Madagascar, the first step in figuring out what to pack was to figure out the weather and the cultural norms.  Madagascar is a very large island off the southeastern coast of Africa.  It's very, very unique in it's ecosystem, and has many species that are not found anywhere else in the world- most famously lemurs. Right now, it is experiencing it's rainy season, as you can see by the

Vogue 9305 Asymmetrical Tunics

It's April and we're expecting snow tonight.  Have we switched hemispheres?  Nevertheless, I am sewing with visions of warm sunny days.  And for those warm sunny days to come, I imagine sitting in the shade with a light breeze flowing through the air, enjoying a light beverage with friends.  Just close your eyes and you can imagine too.  What would you be wearing?  Well,  I love a dramatic asymmetrical tunic made of the softest linen.  As luck would have it, I found just the fabric in the "As Is" section in Fabric Mart's sales category.  With just some irregular dye marks on the selvage, it was marked down, but still completely usable.  It started out as a solid color, but I did an ombre dip dye process to get this look- more on that later! For my pattern, I chose Vogue 9305 , a tunic with a shaped hemline, and two styles of pants (I didn't make the pants).   This pattern must be the biggest bang for your time possible.  The tunic went tog

Style Arc Dotty Blouse and Burda 6879 Skinny Pants

Listen children.  It's time for a sewing story.  Sit by the fire with me, and I'll tell you the story of how three flat, lifeless pieces of fabric became my new favorite winter outfit. With a little help from the elves at FabricMart, Burda, and Style Arc, I whipped up this outfit just in time for the holidays. Chapter 1.  The Dotty Blouse Silk charmeuse.  Aahhhh.  Just the thought of it brings me bliss.  Is there anything so light as a feather, shimmery as a star, fluid as a mountain stream?  All wrapped up in one glorious fabric.  Sometimes I look at the prices of clothes in the stores, and wonder "Why am I sewing? ".  But one touch of silk charmeuse and I remember. This is the stuff that you can't buy a top made from for less than $200, but you can make it for $50 or less. When I saw this stylized animal print silk charmeuse at FabricMart, I grabbed up 3 yards of it right away.  One of silk charmeuse's best qualities is it's drapa
