Well, we did it! We rolled the dice with another theme-related challenge. This time it was with Crafting Con. The challenge? A Board Game Inspired Outfit. And, since we couldn’t sew a repeat “Hungry, Hungry Hippo” outfit, we opted to sew another classic – TRIVIAL PURSUIT. As for our interpretation of it….we’ll leave that up to you to decide. You […]

Our niece is full of surprises. ALL. THE. TIME!! Especially when it deals with sewing. Like…the time she decided she just didn’t like “the triangle dress.” HUH? It was comfy, and we actually used fun fabric {which is soooo not our normal protocol}. Or, when she selected pastel thread to practice her sewing – instead […]
