Gingercake

My sweet little Marion is almost 4 months old. She is precious but the girl can slobber! And spit up all over me and her clothes several times a day. My other babies were not big spitters/ slobberers so I always looked a little sideways at the moms whose babies had bibs on all the time. I found a small bib pattern I drafted years ago that worked great for her size and should be good for a few months at least! This has been saving me from changing her clothes like 10 times a day. http://gingercake.typepad.com/gingercake/

d20 Handbag of Holding: How to build it

http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2009/d20-handbag-of-holding-how-to-build-it/ By popular request following the d12 bag , here it is: the d20 bag! Now you can make your very own icosahedron. We’re making a pattern and kit for this project available in two sizes: darling and practical. The tiny one is just over three inches tall, and holds little things for you. The larger size is about five inches tall and will fit your phone, wallet and keys along with your dice. There are a deceptively large number of parts to cut out, which is one of the main reasons that a kit makes sense here.
There are many ways of making bras and the best way is always the one which feels fluent. As time goes by I have started to sew some points in a different way than I have guided in the make Bra instructions. Next I’ll show you the points, which sewing method has been changed. When sewing comes easier it is very likely that the result will also improve significantly! http://www.makebra.com/2012/02/sewing-bras-even-easier/

New. Obsession. - A Dress A Day

Just so we're clear: I freaking love this dress. So far I've made it twice, and if I am ever in my sewing room while the sun is up, I will take a picture or two of the ones that I've completed. (I also have two more cut out and half-sewn.)
As any of you out there who spend a lot of time in your sewing studio know, your ironing board gets a lot of wear and tear and will eventually need some kind of repair or replacing. Rather than going through a new ironing board every few months, replacing the cover will return it to it's original glory and allow you the choice of fabric so you don't have to resort to any haus frau prints that they always seem to come in. It's easy, here's what you need:
