You know how you feel when you’ve been looking for something FOREVER and you finally find it? J*A*C*K*P*O*T (Even though the ironic thing is . . .you’ve probably moved on and now don’t even need it?) Yep, that was me and Urquid Linens. I happened to be reading online reviews about a type of fabric…
Dressing the Basketball Players & Cheerleaders: High School Musical
I’ve been making Bombie Samba dresses today, and am waiting on a delivery of red lace (hopefully tomorrow!) . . . and I thought I could spend a bit of time finishing up “High School Musical”. There isn’t much hugely creative with any of this stuff, but I’ll share what I used and where I…

Places I like to order from: Home Sew
If you are like me . . .browsing through a sewing catalog or online store looking for hard-to-find items or just unusual things you had NO IDEA that you NEEDED is probably your idea of a good way to waste an hour (or two). When my mom emails me and says “I am going…

Solid Stone Fabrics is one of those online fabric stores that I love. I have ordered from them multiple times over several years and have always been happy with the fabric that I ordered. Shipping is fairly quick and sometimes they run free shipping. My biggest problem is that I like to add…
Places I like to order from: Fabric5anddime
For all the fact that I have an allergy to cutting things out, and I really like to start with a pre-made garment . . .I love fabric. I love to look at it, I love to shop for it, I love to think about what I could make out of it, and I love…
