Over the summer I made a few dresses that were worn quite often. I used the Sneha tunic/dress from Wardrobe by Me for the base of these dresses. These first ones were just the basic pattern, only I added bands to the arms. The bands were 2-3″ shorter than the armscye hole. This first one […]

Cruise around and be a Star with Blaverry
By Stacy on August 15, 2016
I absolutely love how this outfit turned out for my daughter. These patterns are the Cruise and Star from Blaverry. I received these for free as part of the promotions team, but all opinions are my own. The Girl has been complaining that she didn’t have enough shorts for summer. I tend not to make […]

Blaverry Nina and Ollie
By Stacy on June 13, 2016
Me: Do you like the outfit? I think it looks nice on you. Girl: I look like a business person. Me: You look classy. Girl: What does classy mean. Me: The opposite of trashy. You look stylish. Girl: I always look stylish. She does like how it looks on her, to be clear. The only […]

Summer is coming
By Stacy on April 20, 2016
Time to get some summer sewing done, right? Well, I actually made these a few months ago, but she finally wore them this week when we were hit with a warm spell. She told me that she couldn’t wear jean shorts to school anymore. The hell? I looked up the online dress code and it […]

Sneha Flare Tunic
By Stacy on February 22, 2016Pattern test/review of Sneha Tunic and Dress by Wardrobe by Me (the pattern is on sale for a week at $7) When this test came up, I was already in the midst of a few other tests wrapping up. I just couldn’t NOT throw my hat in the ring, though. I love this top, and it […]
So, in my continued perseverance to try out different custom fabric printers I tried out a new one. My Fabric Designs I bought two yards of fabric. Their site is not quite as developed as Spoonflower’s site and obviously has less users. First one was Quadri Performance Sport Knit ($26/yard). It printed true to design and […]
Next week I have plans to participate in Free Notion Spring Wardrobe Capsule. This weekend, I will be (hopefully) cutting out my fabric in preparation for sewing. I have a need for basic tops for spring for work. I don’t have many that fit me right now (grew out of my old ones), and last summer […]

Nivalis tunic
By Stacy on February 7, 2016
As I was on a roll with getting sewing done, I volunteered to do the pre-test for the Sofilantjes Nivalis Tunic and Dress. The timing was not the best, as work decided to get very busy (like I didn’t know that would happen), and now I am sick. Yes, a bit over-extended. I made three […]
My fabric finally arrived on December 13th. Well, at least the strike-off’s arrived! I gave her my digital files on September 27th. This is not a speedy process. I ordered the 5 yard minimum of these 4 different prints, and they are $17 yard, so not cheap. I really do like the quality, but not […]

Here is another designs I made. This one is probably going to be worn the most! Striped Flowers in Lavender – This is a mixture of Iris, Roses and Dahlias in the same shades. This was printed on Satin, and scaled to print at 4″ x 4″. The satin is a bit thin, so I like […]
