I have liked the look of sling bags, so I thought I would draft up a simple one to start out with. I perused Pinterest, and there are a lot of different versions: I went for a front pocket with a snap flap and a top zipper. Not as detailed as some of the versions […]
My teenage daughter came to me less than 2 weeks before Halloween and wanted to replicate an outfit in a music video from one of the Korean bands she likes. It was this jacket by R13, and is sold out. Not that she could buy it. It was around $900 retail. This required going to […]
Awhile back I came across this picture, or a derivation of it, on Pinterest: There are quite a few pictures of it now, some as low as $20 for the knock off copy of the original one. This is one of those instances where you could definitely buy it for less, but I’m sure the […]
Last week’s prompt for the #52weeksewingchallenge was to sew something with a collar. I looked at Pinterest and was going to draft up something new, but then figured I might as well finish a top I had cut out last year. This top is The Perfect Tunic from Wardrobe by Me, and I had cut […]
Well, its been terribly cold here in the great North. We had the coldest temperatures and wind chills in 25 years, so schools and businesses were closed. We all just hibernated and stayed inside. I sewed, of course! I received a strike-off from Sugar Ink to sew up for their latest round based on the […]
The 52 Week Sewing Challenge for this week was Sew Something Red. I already sewed up some underwear with some red in the fabric, but I wanted to do this, as well. I have seen some Assassin’s Creed inspired hoodies on Pinterest with the red and black colors in them, and thought they looked cool. […]
For the 52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 3, the challenge was to sew a pattern you owned but had not sewn up yet. I had downloaded the free Bell Town Vest from Straight Stitch Designs at least a year ago. It was also the pattern I had planned to use for my furry vest […]
I know…so exciting! I am like most people, I think, where underwear is the last thing you think about replacing…and the most often worn. I have had the same batch I bought from Victoria’s Secret at least 8 years ago, and they were in not great shape. Add to the fact that my butt is […]
I have been wanting to make this scarf for all of this year, so I decided to finally make it this past week. I knew it would be a bit slapdash to make it. The waterfall nature of the scarf with varying lengths just look like you start cutting and see what happens. Which is […]
This was a fun outfit to make, and I was going more for a post-apocalyptic look for it. A strong, fierce female. I have a board on Pinterest where I gathered a bunch of ideas, and then started working on drafting my vision. The Jacket: The first item had to be this little jacket. I […]
