Here are the two cape tutorials I have made for this years swap-o-rama-rama @ maker faire. wheee! I can’t wait!
I’m off to Seattle tomorrow at 7am (gah!). I absolutely HAVE to pack light for this trip since my suitcase has to be stuffed with 50 pounds of conference programs. Even though there are a few glaring problems with it it still came out fairly cute. What conference you ask? The Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs [...]
I had a craftastic weekend, starting on Thursday. I went to the Etsy craft Lab hosted by MOCFA and sponsored by Giant Robot and Britex Fabrics in downtown SF. This months was hosted outside in a little craft corral and there were two main activities: making a plush robot or make a fabric flower. We [...]
I always forget how LONG the days at Maker Faire seem when you are a vendor. VERY LONG. Ones eyes and nose start to hurt for some reason. Despite the long days I enjoyed Maker Faire again this year. Sunday morning I felt so sick I thought would die. A bit of food and a [...]
It’s sewing machine month at Sew, Mama, Sew!. I love my machine but am not so secretly lusting after a serger so I’m looking forward to seeing what people have to say about their sergers. What brand and model do you have? Bernina Activia 230 How long have you had it? 6 months or so [...]

I’ll be at the The Oakland DIY Holi-DIY Expo at the Stork Club in Oakland tomorrow night selling spats. I’m looking forward to being at least a little bit raunchy with some elves and having a few drinks and selling a few pairs of spats. I’m kind of not prepared for it as I slacked [...]
Bazaar Bizarre was fun! I went over to the county fair building on Saturday to help with general set up (btw, it’s great fun to volunteer at this sort of thing) and, because I am weird like that, had a satisfying time setting up a million tables. I slacked a bit with my gigantic coffee [...]
I’ve been making spats and reading more crappy romance novels. Vim’s cat died and Jack has all his teeth (totally unrelated things). The black and white spats have pink silk lining and velvet buttons. The other one is authentic Burberry raincoat fabric and has cheerful cloud lining (one cloud in there has a cute silver [...]
