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 […]
I don’t know about the rest of you, but this has not been a successful sewing year. I’m mostly making masks, but I have gotten a few other things made in the last few months. Most nights I am just tired from work and cooking and cleaning. Not a lot of extra energy. Normally I […]
Hey, finally went into my sewing room! As I spend the majority of my day sitting in our home office, with an occasional Zoom meeting and a noon walk around a neighborhood lake, I wanted something comfy and nice looking. The skort pattern is my old standby that I drafted several years ago. I can […]
Like so many others, once we were given the “go ahead” to sew masks due to the shortage of surgical masks…I dug in. I really didn’t have the supplies for prolonged mask making, and, oh yeah, I have a full time job still. There are some glorious ladies that are working their fingers to the […]
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 […]
You know, making something creative and difficult is both enthralling and frustrating at the same time. It is nice to just make a simple top sometimes.

I go between wanting a big purse and NOT wanting a big purse, but alas…my life needs a big purse. During the week I tend to bring work home with me at times with the best of intentions (spoiler: it rarely leaves my purse). On the weekends I generally have a tournament or two that […]
I must admit…I love a good long cardigan. It offers nice bottom coverage and tends to be a bit warmer in the winter. This fabric was a bit thin, but we are in a warm streak here at above 25 degrees F. It had plenty of warmth for the mild winter temperatures. The pattern draft […]
Gonna be perfectly honest. Not much got done in the last few months. Just treading water over here, which is why I didn’t get this post up from September onward. Here is my review of my goals for the last few months and year end, and just basically a “what’s up!” post. Work is getting […]
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 […]
