Wow, it has been 3 months since I have posted here. Time sure flies when you have no time (or energy) to do anything crafty. I carved out some time this past week to get a few things sewed up. I also “lucked out” that the girl’s fastpitch tournament ended with a single elimination tournament […]
Well it was record cold for this time of year, so warmth was what I was looking for. I also had a hard time bending my thumb without ripping out the healing that was going on, so putting on tights was a struggle! I opted for simpler things to wear earlier in the week while […]
It is starting to turn pretty chilly now, and we need to make sure to dress for those freezing temps. I also got a new office this week, so no longer in my cozy little cube. It is a bit colder in there, so I need to dress appropriately. Monday, November 4: Dress – New […]
I’m going to try to do this again. I don’t expect that I will get every day, but maybe a few! I tend to get stuck in a rut of reaching for the same clothes, and I end up having a lot of clothes I don’t wear if I do so. This is going to […]
I have been sewing with Wardrobe by Me patterns for several years now, along with using them for pattern hacks. I have to say that they are great base patterns that you can easily modify and use for wardrobe staples. This post today is geared towards using the patterns by Wardrobe by Me for staples […]

As part of my #makenine for 2019, I put a pair of moto looking leggings on it. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided that I would change it up to be more pants similar to the ones I made last fall for my Warrior outfit. These were self-drafted and require some different […]
I’ve had this fabric since some time last year, and I wanted to make a lighter jacket with it for fall and spring. Something that you could just throw on before going outside if it was a little chilly. I started using a pattern, but I changed it so much that you can’t really call […]
When I was deciding what I wanted to pack for my weekend trip to Cincinnati for our friends’ bar opening, I started to go through my closet. I am definitely in a “black phase”, so I decided to steer myself in that direction. The weather there was a bit warmer than here, so I opted […]
I seem to have a bit of an affinity for fabrics with skulls on them. Last year Twisted Needle Textiles had the perfect round for me, too! Lots of skulls, so I purchased several different fabrics in different bases and even ordered more when they had a rerun round. This fabric was from the first […]
