Inspiration: Father's Day Gifts

Image
By

 Father's Day is coming and we have to be ready for it. Not only with breakfast in bed, day plans, but also a gift.

My 10 year old daughter is making a lot of preparations for that day including a handmade card, breakfast, washing his car, pampering him, and obviously asking me over and over, “what are we buying the guys (Dad and Grandpa)?”

The question is: What can we give my husband and my father that shows them how important and loved they are? The fact is that there is not the magical gift for all Dads, since all of them are different.
To begin my search for the perfect gift I asked myself a couple of questions just to make it easier for me to pick the right gifts and save some time.
What my your budget? 
What is your dad’s favorite activity? Does he have a hobby?


What is his job?     

What is his participation at home? Does he enjoy cooking or grilling for us?

Does he love to play a sport?     

    What does he do with his friends? Does he golf or bowl, watch games?

Stone Drink Dispenser
Does he enjoy dressing & accessorizing?

LeatherWatch


    Does he enjoy grooming? 

Personalize Shaving Bowl


What does he do around when resting at home?

Once I answered these questions I highlighted the answers that I know are his favorite things to do or enjoys the most. Then I was ready to surf those web pages and pick something!

Made By A Fabricista: Turning the Page

By
We had a lovely, warm September in central New Jersey but as of last week, fall has finally started to set in. While I’m no longer operating on a school calendar, I always look forward to the return of fall, the crisp air, the colorful leaves, and the opportunity to “turn over a new leaf.” While exploring the Fabric Mart website, browsing all their gorgeous cottons, I was incredibly inspired by the Eggshell/Black 100% Cotton Horizontal Stripe Weave Lawn . It looks exactly like a lined piece of paper. I thought it would make a fun top for work during this transitional season, one that sparks “blank page” creativity. I wanted to pair the top with a simple yet classic pair of pants, allowing each piece to be a quality addition to my work and loungewear wardrobe, working together and as separates. I picked up the beautiful Midnight Navy/White 100% Tencel Chambray , which has a fun denim-look while being quite soft and flowy. When designing the top, I wanted to play with the stripes. I chos...

Made By A Fabricista: Getting Ready for Fall with a Pinafore

By
Hooray, the best season has finally arrived again! I don’t know about you, but I spend all summer sweaty and wishing for cooler weather despite my massive appreciation for sundresses. I prefer a chill in the air, a breeze rustling my skirt, and layered garments for coziness!  Would you believe I have never sewn a wrap pinafore dress in all my hundreds of garments? It’s shocking, I know. I’ve had one on my mind for at least a year or two, but narrowing down the final pattern wasn’t easy. In the end, I chose the Fibre Mood Khloe Pinafore because I really like the straight, high neckline and the finishes at the wrapped bodice.  So here we are, combining the best of all possible worlds, a wrap pinafore that is utterly magnificent for summer, BUT adding a long sleeved layer underneath to take it seamlessly right into autumn.  On the dress, my only change was to widen the shoulder straps by doubling their width for better bra concealment when I wear it alone. I do wish I’d adde...
