I bought this sleeveless white shirt this spring from CAbi, and I’m not really sold on it. It isn’t exactly the most flattering of tops. I love the neckline, but the ruching on the stomach makes that area look bigger. Like anyone needs that! The necklace was made for me by an online friend. She […]

This dress appears rather boxy on a hanger, but walking in it makes it come to life. The fabric moves a lot without being overly clingy. It graces your curves and then moves away with the next step. Added plus is that it is super comfy. Dress: Anne Taylor LOFT Jewelry: Silpada Shoes: Unlisted (so […]
I am becoming a dress lover these days. They are so easy to wear and comfortable. Just throw on the dress, a pair of heels and jewelry. Done! This dress I purchased at the Hot Mama store, and luckily it was on sale. It was still pricy, but the dress is pretty flattering to my […]

By Stacy on June 13, 2011I didn’t get much done on the sewing front this past week. I worked out every day last week, so that was my excuse. I did get a project done that had been waiting for a year. I spray-painted some picture frames and put my wall of pictures back up after taking them down when […]
I took some time fitting the top to this outfit. Normally when I sew I just kind of make it up as I go. I wanted this to work, though. It still isn’t perfect, but overall the fit works fairly well. I really like this color purple on me. It brings out my coloring. The […]
When I was in college I bought a pretty little cheap suit at TJ Maxx. I got rid of it at one point, but I still miss it. It had a jacket with a flounce all the way around and a pencil skirt. I would certainly wear the jacket now, but the skirt probably didn’t […]
My next inspiration dress comes from Chasing Fireflies. They have tons of pretty girly dresses. This dress was done in denim and retails for $238 (ouch!). Very pretty with lots of detailing, so I can understand why it is spendy. (click on picture to go to website) I wanted to do a similar dress, though […]
A few girly things… Birthday gift for one of Anya’s girlfriends I really wasn’t going to make a gift for this party. I was busy and stressed and really didn’t want to have to sew a dress. Then I thought the little girl would feel bad if I didn’t make her one when I’ve made […]
I will be making many of these skirts for the summertime. My biggest conudrum with summer skirts is not having tights to control my tummy pooch. I gained 40 lbs with each of my kids, so I have a bit of loose skin to contend with. I make these skirts with a double panel of […]
More sewing for your’s truly. I think part of the joy I get out of sewing is making patterns and sewing things that fit me. This tends to backfire occassionally when I spend hours making something for myself and then it doesn’t fit. Very frustrating! Here are a couple of tank tops that I traced […]
