  Here is the finished version of today's project! Let's start this with a little confession - I have (had) a fear of making pants! I am not sure why but I thought they would just be awful to make and not turn out at all. And since this blog is to help me move forward with my crafting/sewing I though today would be a great day to get over that fear. I decided to do a very simple trace, cut, & sew

  Recycling tutorial: Ruched Leggings (for girls and women) Despite what many people think, sewing with knits is fun and easy to do! Sewing patterns Knit fabrics are created the same way that knitters do their magic, with needles and yarn (which is why knits have stretch to them, compared to woven fabrics). However, these needles and thread are very small and are attached to industrial machinery. So in a way, we knitters and sewers should get out of the ring and do a

  Kids pants TUTORIAL and PATTERN for kids sewing patterns I've made these pants from all types of cotton and linen. For this pair I used a black/white cotton seersucker--one of my favorite fabrics of all time. Seersucker breathes well, drapes well, looks darling on kids, and just screams summer.

    I really wanted to make the sock bunny that Heidi (from My Paper Crane) created, but I didn't have any of those fantastic red and brown monkey socks. What I do have is baby socks: tons of cute, mismatched, totally useless, never stay on baby socks. Now that my littlest is very much not an infant and too soon will be a toddler it seems kind of silly to keep all those teeny tiny socks. So I made a bunny out of them.

(Save the other parts once you're done cutting). I laid one well-worn Simplicity shorts pattern over the t-neck which is folded in half. I aligned the inner crotch seam with the double fold of the fabric so I won't have to go back and sew this seam up later.
