Some great new boys patterns and giveaway!

Just thought I would share this awesome new boys pattern source. They are the Hot Scott Patterns by Lucy of the Drizzled Apple. It is wonderful as a mama of boys to see some more patterns out there to chose from. There are tons of girls patterns so the boys tend to get left out in the mama made items. Please visit her blog and enter to win some patterns in the give away.

UPDATE:I won this give away. I am very excited to get the patterns, thanks so much Lucy of the Drizzled Apple.

Survived my first sewing mamas stash game.

Well the fall stash game and my first with the sewing mamas went well. At least for my first time.I was able to sew 49 yards of fabric and earn 500 points.Quite an accomplishment if I do say so myself. The slideshow cuts some of the pics off a bit but its the best way to view them all without scrolling through a million pics.I am proud of myself for sticking to it.I didn't purchase any fabric during the main stash game, earned enough bonus points to get an extra bonus week and cleared out some fabric.I will be glad to move onto something else, like finishing my graphic design course, ughh.I will be glad to know the information but there is just a lot and a lot of computer work.

Tester 3 results for the mixer pattern are in, yay!

 My last pattern tester finished he cover up today, and did a fabulous job might I add.  I had one more tester but she is pregnant with twins and not up to the task I don't think.  So I will be making some minor revisions and putting it on the market. I have been insanely busy, with sick kids and the stash game on sewing mamas.  I have also started a dressmaking and design course and a graphic design course. The dressmaking is awesome and the graphic design is hard.  I am glad I decided to take them though, its good for me.

First Test Results Are In

My first tester finished the cover and sent me some awesome suggestions. The good news is that there were not any major problems just some super suggestions. Whew, I was so worried that I didn't make it easy enough to understand. 3 more testers have not finished yet so there is still the possibility that somebody thinks I am a nut and should not be writing patterns. Yes I know that I should have more confidence in myself, but I am such a perfectionist it makes it hard. I am also posting a picture of the finished cover, the tester did a super job with fabric choices! Well its off to the sewing room with coffee in hand this morning.
