These are some summer tops that I drafted/hacked from either patterns I made previously, or by using the Sneha by Wardrobe by Me. I used my style sheet that I put together from tops I found on Pinterest: Then, I went back and looked at more tops. Here is the first one. I modified a […]

Summer skort for sittin’ in the bleachers
By Stacy on April 8, 2017I won’t lie and say this sporty skort is for exercising. It is so I can be comfy sitting in the hot sun. I might try to go for walks before games, since we usually need to arrive an hour before game time. That would be a good use of my time, actually. I always […]
Spring/summer capsule…DONE!
By Stacy on April 7, 2017I love how this all turned out! I am excited for the weather to get warmer and I can wear this new casual wardrobe this summer. I made: 4 shirts 4 skorts 1 dress I do have several RTW and previously sewed items that will work with this, as well. I will do a few […]
It has been awhile since I made a blazer, and Wardrobe by Me was going into testing for one. The timing was less than ideal. I had already committed to doing some sample sewing and another test, and then I had a funeral. I was soooooo very glad when I got this finished. It turned […]
Summer top turned into summer dress
By Stacy on April 5, 2017With the approach of summer, I decided to try my hand at converting a top I drafted last year (or was it the year before?) into an easy summer dress. I like this top, since it is loose around the waist, but not too loose. This is aided by the gathers just being along a […]
Team colors…gooooooooo team!
By Stacy on March 28, 2017Luckily my kids’ school colors are some of my favorites. Red and Black. It seems to be pretty popular, since that is the school colors for A LOT of other teams in this area! I do like to wear the colors when going to cheer them on, so I decided to make a new outfit. […]
Sea monsters and an old map
By Stacy on March 21, 2017I love this print by Zenith & Quasar Fabric. Seriously…LOVE. The main print is a print of an old map, and the lighter color print has snippets of the sea monsters in the map. Very cool. Unfortunately, the map print is out of stock right now, and I was lucky enough to snag some for […]
Nothing like a long-awaited fabric delivery to de-rail your sewing plans! I’m a big fan of The Lord of the Rings (even read that massive tome…and The Hobbit, too), so when a pre-order came up for different LOTR fabrics I pounced on it. After waiting the required several months for the order to close and […]
Summer wardrobe capsule plan…sittin’ at the ball fields
By Stacy on February 16, 2017Summertime around these parts consists of many hours watching ball games – both softball and baseball. This means I sit in the hot sun sweating and getting odd tan lines for hours at a time. I wanted to make a mix and match wardrobe capsule that would keep me cool, look awesome and be easy […]
Just call me Morticia
By Stacy on February 8, 2017No, I am not feeling depressed. Yes, I like to wear black. I try not to wear all black, since that might beg the question of “whose funeral”. To which, the obvious reply would be, “I haven’t decided yet.” 😉 This top is my Sneha tunic hack. I described how I drafted and changed the […]
