For most of my sewing that I do from patterns, I use the pattern once- somehow the luster of that pattern is gone after I have made it and I pretty much just toss the pattern into recycling- until I made my first <a href="http://kwiksew.mccall.com/k3799-products-20332.php?page_id=3038" target="_blank">Kwik Sew 3799. </a><br />

Now, at first I made it one size too small- which the black white and red one is- that is when I learned why many sewists trace patterns first, because you really can't go back and just add the extra 1/4 inch all around and have the pattern work (well you can but its A LOT of work!) So I just bought another one! I had just attended a shirt pattern fitting class with Peggy Sagers and I was pretty sure what went wrong- I have a broad back and I like more room in my armholes. Instead of just making those adjustments I went ahead and just sized up- that way I could just do some simple dart adjustments for the waist circumference- but guess what? one size up fits like a charm! So that's one reason to love Kwik Sew #3799! The other reason is it is so fun to mix and match colors and pipings (pipings not in the pattern but I just added them on)! ANNNND..it easily adjusted to remove the decorative yoke, and to make a shorter sleeve. Luckily the pattern came on nice thick white paper, not the usual "tissue" paper so this pattern a keeper!<br />

The Piping was super easy to make and attach- just baste too the yoke then follow pattern instructions to attach.

I used snaps- figured WAY easier and more to the shirt style then buttons, but don't be fooled attaching and lining up snap is no joke! I got my Snaps and the little setting tool from <a href="http://www.snapsource.com/" target="_blank">Snap Source.</a></div>

I spend 95% of my life in my work uniform or in stretch pants and t-shirts. My Skate night is really the only time I have to wear my hand made clothes and express myself. I really love wearing this one even if it is a little small in the shoulder. I already made two more of these shirts! Need to get some pics up though- Happy sewing!</div>

I LOVE Peggys teaching and technique, but some of her clothes not so much my style- but it doesn't really matter because she is actually teaching me to make things my style. So I figure yoga pants OF course- sign me up! Now I have made a shitload of stretch pants- like a bunch- but they are sort of generic one-size-fits-all-because-they-stretch type leggings. But I am sure you also have a bunch of store bought leggings yourself and some of them look AWESOME- your ass looks great and you look 10lbs lighter, well that because however they were designed, they actually fit you. So I headed down to DTLA fabric district to grab some supplies because God know Joann's don't have no 2 inch elastic and if they did it would be totally expensive.<br />
<br />
My go to elastic guy is John TEX and TRIM 818 Wall ST Los Angeles.<br />

ahh one of the many aisles of trims, elastics, and stretch lace all neatly organized in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM. Theres only one way to find what you need, and that is to ask.

Wow, it seems like forever since I have blogged. A lot has changed around here as I have sort of changed directions on my creative journey. I have always loved paper crafting but what I enjoyed the most was the process. The creations only served as eye candy for a while and would end up getting recycled, re-purposed or given away. What I really was in search of is a creative outlet that served practicality. So I started making quilts. Just easy quilts. I found it fulfilled my love of putting patterns and colors together, much like I did in paper crafting. BUT, after making 7 quilts- I had more quilts than bodies to wrap them around. I did learn one valuable thing through quilting though, and that was to be patient and precise. After learning I could be patient and precise, I figured why not jump into making my own clothing? Now my mom taught me to sew in grade school- but I didn't really have patients so I frequently just cut squares out and sewed them together and added elastic! When I did try patterns, I cut them out haphazardly, ignoring things such as grain line, darts, and notches. I just cut, threw right sides together and sewed. And lets not even talk about seam allowance- I just sewed along the edge and made things match even if they didn't. That was cause for a lot of uneven shoulders, crooked necklines and bad hems. As with most of my creating I am self taught- AKA Internet taught. There is such a wealth of sewing information out there! I discovered the whole Indie Pattern Making universe and Sew A Longs. My favorite being the Ginger Jean Sew Along from <a href="http://closetcasefiles.com/" target="_blank">Closet Case Files</a>. After I familiarized myself with doing some simple patterns, I was ready to start tackling some real challenges- like Jeans and a tailored shirt! I highly recommend Pamela Howards "<a href="http://www.craftsy.com/class/the-classic-tailored-shirt/132" target="_blank">The Classic Tailored Shirt</a>" Craftsy class.<br />

There are a thousand cute ways to store twine, but lets face it when you have a vast collection- keeping it on a dainty display or shelf just won't work. I keep mine in the drawer of an Ikea storage unit. At first I had it all organized by color and design- but that sort of flew out the window as I started using it! So my twine storage says about me that I am practical but simple, so that's what your storage should say. Hop along with us and see all the Design Teams Twine storage ideas and comment on our our blogs for a chance to win this little bundle:<br />

Hey everyone welcome form <span style="color: #222222; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Stacey Schafer - </span><a href="http://stampinwithstacey.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">http://stampinwithstacey.blogspot.com/</a>, I have a great home decor item to share with you. Its a little inspiration board, but it can be used for anything from coupons, shopping lists car keys- the list goes on. All you need it a little wood board, 4 clothes pins, hot glue gun and some Twinery Caribbean twine! This is a super flexible project so you can use pretty much any of The Twinerys twines. I made you a quick spangled to show you the steps!<br />

Yeah, some times you have to buckle down and get a gift card. Now they may not be as personal as a hand picked gift- you can make them super special with a handmade gift card holder. This gift card holder has a pretty cool but involved focal point- the twine weaved gift, but the rest of the card is super simple to assemble and I made a nice little Snapguide to show you how I did it!<br />

I thought they would make a very cool hand dyed fabric. But since I am experimenting, I decided to start small and do a patchwork pillow- incorporating my hand dyed fabric into it. I used a resist technique and Izink Pigment, but you can also use any Clearsnap Pigment ink refill, or you can directly ink on the fabric with Colorbox Crafters Ink. Here is how I do the technique:<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Today I am sharing an easy recipe for the beginner card maker. Why call it a recipe? Think of card making as cooking. If your just learning you want to start with an easy recipe. As you grow more confident, you will add in a few </span></span>tweaks to that recipe. After you have really mastered it, you will start making "dishes" of your own. Clearsnap has an awesome product for the beginner; Colorbox Creative Cards. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Simply decorate the pre-printed cards by spraying or stamping over the design then layering embellishments onto dry card. T</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">he best part is you get 5 preprinted cards (5 1/2" x 4 1/4" folded) and 5 blank envelopes. Here is the recipe:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">1) Choose 3 or more Colorbox Stamp Pads (all of them will work!) and using a Colorbox Stylus tool and tip- blend onto the card starting with the darkest color on bottom and work your way up blend in as you go</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">2) Take 1 Yard of Bakers Twine (I use The Twinery) and wrap around card top and tie in a bow on the side</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">3) Choose a Focal Piece- this can be a Stamp on plain cardstock- a chipboard from a scrapbook paper collection, or even a sticker. Add foam squares to pop it out, and attach to the center of your card. A focal piece should take up around 1/3 of the card space</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">And that's it! Let me walk you through these three very different cards, that are actually all the same.</span><br />

Math? Gah... Precision? Eww... And I guess a lot of the old fashioned granny square type quilts were just not my style. That was until I saw this super cute quilt on Craftsy.<br />

It's called a Rag Quilt by <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/jelly-roll-quilt/79179?_ct=iuqhsx-kdyluhiqb-huikbj-fqjjuhd&_ctp=79179" target="_blank">Sweetwater and you can find it HERE</a> or on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/170287543/jelly-roll-quilt-download-pattern" target="_blank">Etsy HERE</a>. Then I started really looking more into quilting and realized it has a lot of similarities to paper crafting. Mixing together papers and fabrics is pretty much the same thing- but you can't snuggle up with a greeting card at the end of the day! Now I am quilting obsessed. I just bought a book <a href="http://amysmart.bigcartel.com/product/fabulously-fast-quilts-book-by-amy-smart" target="_blank">Fabulously Fast Quilts by Amy Smart</a> who as an awesome blog; <a href="http://www.diaryofaquilter.com/" target="_blank">Diary of a Quilter</a> and am excited to start another project out of her book. Another bonus is I have learned SO MUCH MORE about my sewing machine and the different feetr. So far I have used my; walking foot, stitch in the ditch foot, and also figured out what some of the mystery stitches on my machine were! Stitch #39-40 are called Piecing Stitches and if I select those it gives me the perfect 1/4 inch seam allowance using the edge of my foot as the guide- who knew?! Here is my finished quilt, I love it so much.<br />

My fear of stenciling- real! I always screwed up my project- goops of color in the corners- slippery stencils, color under the stencil. I wasn't about to let stencils beat me, so I practiced. I made a stencil-life-changing-discovery; Respoitionable Spray Adhesive! I use it all the time on my die cut machine carriers- why not on my stencils? And it works- just take a look at my Snapguide at the end of this post and you can see my tips and tricks in action. Today I am playing with some super fun <b><a href="http://www.walnuthollow.com/store/wood-surfaces/pine/items/french-provincial-signboards/" target="_blank">Walnut Hollow French Provincial Signboards</a>.</b> I got a few sizes and when they came, I immediately saw that they needed to be a two tier display tray. First I just base coated them with some white primer, stenciled them with <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/product-details.cfm?crafter-s-full-size-inkpad" target="_blank"><b>Colorbox Crafters Ink in Aruba and Limon</b></a> and <b><a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/product-details.cfm?colorbox-art-screens" target="_blank">Colorbox Art Screens Bloom and Rounded</a> </b> then added in a dollar store candlestick and voila!<br />

Oh how I fell in love with Fancy Pants! Today I am working with their Burlap and Bouquets Collection Kit. Visit Clearsnap at <a href="http://blog.clearsnap.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> and Fancy Pants <a href="http://blog.fancypantsdesigns.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> for more inspiration!<br />

I added to that kit some of their Chalkboard stickers and Tape. The stickers have the texture of electrical tape and I knew right away the best way to use these awesome embellishments- embossing!<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">I love a good gift box, and these are my favorite. I call them my little cake slices! They can be used to fit a small gift, gift card or even to use as party favor boxes. You can find the 5 minute tutorial on how to make the box </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSPDrjcB8XY&list=UUaVIh1AR4ha5xtHkDLO5-MA&index=8" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="text-align: start;">. You can make these as simple or as complex as you want, and these Serendipity Stamps were so versatile. The icing on these "cakes" is The Twinery twines! Make sure you visit The Twinery and Serendipity Stamps blogs to find out how you can enter to win some very cool prizes- </span></div>

Who says the popsicle stick crafts are for kids?! I have a big cup of these on my craft table at all times. I use them for various things; stirring paint, holding hot glue down, whatever I need. I never really thought to use them though in a project until I came up with the idea of using them to bind a notepad. After I was done binding it- I loved how cool it looked and wanted MORE of the popsicle sticks. So I made and entire cover out of them and bound it with Twinery twine. I love how the Poppy Stamps look over the imperfect surface of the sticks.<br />

the covers are made by lining up 10 sticks, taping them down with wash tape or low tack masking tape, then gluing the crosswise sticks to support them. After it dries, simply weave the twine through each stick and tie at the end.</div>

Handmade gifts are awesome- to make and receive. Recently I noticed one of my derby friends Pistol Packin Mamma was making her own soap. So I yapped up that I would love to have some, and she sweetly obliged and brought me two bars. Wrapped in wax paper and in a ziplock bag:<br />

all I could think of is- I can make her some cute packaging for this! The soap was amazing and I wanted to return the favor by gifting her back something out of my bag of tricks! I made her some cute packaging using Xyron and Maya Road embellishments. This is my GO TO packaging idea. It works on pretty much any shape package and flowing 5 components: Paper Wrap- sticker-tie-focal embellishment-tag. Use these 5 components on practically any handmade gift and you will kick that gift up a notch! I am giving Pistol a set of soap wraps as a thank you for the wonderful soap she made- do you have something that needs it's own packaging? Try the 5 it works!<br />

Then run your own "sticker" through a <a href="https://www.xyron.com/en-US/Products/Create-a-Sticker/2-5--Create-a-Sticker/" target="_blank">Xyron Create A Sticker</a> (here I used a <a href="http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_150&products_id=173552" target="_blank">Maya Road Chipboard</a> piece sprayed orange with Colorbox Pigment Ink Spray in Tangerine). Tied it all together, then stuck on the <a href="http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=290_189&products_id=174001" target="_blank">Maya Road Kraft Flower</a>. Then just whipped out a quick tag and Voila!}</div>

For some reason right now all my friends are having babies, so I was very lucky to get this amazing Hello Baby collection from <a href="http://www.simplestories.com/blog" target="_blank">Simple Stories,</a> and<a href="http://www.mayarts.com/blog/" target="_blank"> May Arts</a> ribbon too!? Yes please! My first thought was mini album, but I really wanted my friend Angelica to have something to put little treasures, mementos and ephemera in. That's where the Treasure Box idea came from. I already had the simple wood box- but the inside, I wanted some little dividers-so I will show you how to make "guts" with your own box and <a href="http://aintshecrafty.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Xyron</a> adhesives. I have also added lots of tips for making your box and ideas of what to put in it. Enjoy!<br />

{I started by measuring all of the sides I want to cover and then misusing .25 inch off so some of the wood showed through. I ran them through my Create A Sticker Max. Don't forget to burnish the back of your cardstock for maximum adhesion. I lined the outer lid with May Arts Ribbon by using my Xyron Mega Runner with .25 inch tape in it. Then coat the whole thing in glossy Mod Podge. I want this box to last for a long time, so the Mod Podge acts as a sealer and protectant}</div>

{to make the "guts" I trimmed chipboard. I measured to the top lid of the box, and the inner length and width. You want a perfect fit- so cut a little bigger and trim to size. No chipboard? How about a cereal box?}</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Sometimes I love a stamp so much I just want to wear it! I love these set of <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/clear-to-see" target="_blank">Eyeglass Stamps from Lawn Fawn (Clear to See)</a>, they are so me (with my glasses and all!) But to stamp directly onto a shirt can be a little daunting, you only get one shot to get it right. Since I am a little sketchy in my stamping I came up with a great technique using muslin and a <a href="https://www.xyron.com/en-US/Products/Scrapbook-Adhesives/View-All/" target="_blank">Xyron Tape Runner</a>. For this project you will need a shirt, some plain pre shrunk cotton fabric or muslin, some <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/clear-to-see" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn Stamps</a>, Colorbox Crafters Inks, <a href="https://www.xyron.com/en-US/Products/Scrapbook-Adhesives/View-All/" target="_blank">Xyron Tape Runner</a> and a seeing machine or needle and thread.</span><br />
Let's get started!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscppGhjKkJwAH3WDDj08ziNA_P6zQYfaKrWrMdURTKoptPHziDO1zVvYktcA0WW3MAZqRKEOQbilkqc7c2gk7vPgriPWZKxpq9eFpcIMBg5hm5hqA0eJcyiYWVc3O73H77ms3qQPpCuo/s1600/IMG_5882.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscppGhjKkJwAH3WDDj08ziNA_P6zQYfaKrWrMdURTKoptPHziDO1zVvYktcA0WW3MAZqRKEOQbilkqc7c2gk7vPgriPWZKxpq9eFpcIMBg5hm5hqA0eJcyiYWVc3O73H77ms3qQPpCuo/s1600/IMG_5882.JPG" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
{Start with your base shirt- really any shirt will do except extreme stretch knits, this is a poly blend.}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO0_hO2HLOtfkGr_tLqAx4R-L3gflmyZQlBozivQ491C9Ds4pY0Tj_tRlAgsJBCfRCXE2vUqW4Jjw4zJzLsm3RdYYjx3qZfpv90-0Ldi7S5B0JK-8slJmzZIVy6b6tYoVo__4GF_31ZRc/s1600/IMG_5880.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO0_hO2HLOtfkGr_tLqAx4R-L3gflmyZQlBozivQ491C9Ds4pY0Tj_tRlAgsJBCfRCXE2vUqW4Jjw4zJzLsm3RdYYjx3qZfpv90-0Ldi7S5B0JK-8slJmzZIVy6b6tYoVo__4GF_31ZRc/s1600/IMG_5880.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
{Next grab a piece of muslin and make your <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/clear-to-see" target="_blank">stamps</a> using the <a href="https://www.clearsnap.com/product-details.cfm?crafter-s-full-size-inkpad" target="_blank">Crafter's Ink</a>- make sure you leave enough around each stamp to cut into a square (or any other shape)- Go ahead and do multiples, this is the test stage! Then pick your cleanest ones and cut them out}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs_Z7fym4NxMHS2QvQk5TgDt8L3oiHphumbVmaDGP9ejP848bV3Lewt24CINkkn6KN4eoFEzwF00NOdwNZC_sutPOMp7YoPOocMKhiCRd-kbNagHiijkSYKKv9nJIDIzsXa6nNU0S9Zs8/s1600/IMG_5883.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs_Z7fym4NxMHS2QvQk5TgDt8L3oiHphumbVmaDGP9ejP848bV3Lewt24CINkkn6KN4eoFEzwF00NOdwNZC_sutPOMp7YoPOocMKhiCRd-kbNagHiijkSYKKv9nJIDIzsXa6nNU0S9Zs8/s1600/IMG_5883.JPG" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
{You can use pinking shears if you don't want them to ravel, but I like that reveled look!- Very important- Crafters Ink needs to be heat set with your iron to become permanent so press them off for 20-30 seconds}</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwZRdxqB71COYzH2fuUupBOd4eBl90Ne_sF_tBlVJr9bfQ1uOVZpkCDnx8xCQCQ7CP3eIVUoEF-SdXE3yKCDO69Qg8NEMgjvxxgqwpcc22ZDCrpm1k7Xsag1uOeKrVZt5JOaa7y_PnG_4/s1600/xyron_tape_runner_3301.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwZRdxqB71COYzH2fuUupBOd4eBl90Ne_sF_tBlVJr9bfQ1uOVZpkCDnx8xCQCQ7CP3eIVUoEF-SdXE3yKCDO69Qg8NEMgjvxxgqwpcc22ZDCrpm1k7Xsag1uOeKrVZt5JOaa7y_PnG_4/s1600/xyron_tape_runner_3301.jpg" height="182" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
{Now grab your <a href="https://www.xyron.com/en-US/Products/Scrapbook-Adhesives/View-All/" target="_blank">Xyron Tape Runner</a> and run tape on the backside of your appliqués along each side but not totally to the edge. Believe it or not I have found tape runners to work great on fabric- you can sew through the adhesive, it doesn't gum up your needle, and it doesn't show through when your done!}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
{ Now VERY IMPORTANT! Put your shirt on, THEN stick your appliqués to your shirt! Why? Because you want to make sure they are placed right, especially in the chest areas if you know what I mean. You don't want to do all this work and find out your appliqués are hiding under your breasts or on crooked}</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
{Now go to your machine and stitch around- you can use a straight stitch or play with all them fancy ones you never use- play with thread color- or hand stitch with some embroidery thread would be super cute too!}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi everyone, so I am working on conquering my fear of stamping- I love stamps and have quite the collection- but that's where it tends to stop. I collect and admire them but don't use them as much. I think my fear is imperfection- but I think some imperfection is what gives stamps their character- so I am getting over it! I am getting over that fear by really challenging myself by learning new techniques and them applying them to my favorite stamps. Today we are going to do a little pan pastel effect using Gelatos. Here is the finished project and at the end my technique video!<br />

So I started a tradition of taking a picture of myself in my craft room on my birthday. And here is big #45. At 43 I was not playing derby yet, and 44 I was- and little did I know 4 days after taking that picture I would be in ER getting my ankle put back together. And today- I am back playing derby in a round robin scrimmage. Right now the things that consume me are derby, crafting, work, and caring for my Mom and her hubby who both are battling illnesses. My life is happy and content. My hubby and I have a pretty good thing going here...<br />

Okay, so I have been known to "over-do" a project or two in my day. Honestly I have paper craft projects that have $100 or more of supplies in them. But then again, that was at a different time when I created "competitively" LOL! Today I have progressed in my crafting, or rather digressed. I am in a keep it simple mode. Simple doesn't have to be boring or plain. Simple can be elegant. That is the overall theme that I kept in mind as I created this Photo Keepsake box using <a href="http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2014/02/we-love-hey-sailor.html" target="_blank">Die Cuts with a View Hey Sailor Stack</a> and my favorite <a href="http://www.xyron.com/enUS/Home/default.html" target="_blank">Xyron adhesives.</a> This stack can be purchased just about anywhere form Michaels to Joanns and online. I love it's cream and Navy colors with just a touch of gold. So classic. Now I could have gotten all crazy and added--- oh seashells, burlap, coral, gold stars, pearls, netting, and the kitchen sink! Believe me these were all things I considered at one point, but taking my favorite elements and, in the famous Tim Gunns words, "used them thoughtfully" I came up with a beautiful, simple and elegant project. Here are some ideas for creating yours:
