I am all for figure concealing clothing right now. Never did get that summer bod, so we are looping right back in winter bod. 😉 I am loving layers right now. I look on Pinterest at all those outfits with 5,000 layers and think of all the things I could sew to make it happen. […]
After I got my job offer I decided to try on my work pants. The last time I wore most of them was about 1.5 years ago before I started working from home. The yoga pants have not been kind to me. 😉 Yes, nonnnnnnne of them fit! So! Time to make something I can […]
Well, it happened. I got a job. No more sleeping in, drinking coffee and checking Facebook for the first half of the day. 😉 No…now I have to actually use my brain again! It should be interesting and challenging, which is something my last job wasn’t for several years. I’m looking forward to it! Now, […]
As part of my #makenine for 2019, I put a pair of moto looking leggings on it. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided that I would change it up to be more pants similar to the ones I made last fall for my Warrior outfit. These were self-drafted and require some different […]
There are times when I am just not interested in lugging my purse around. In these moments, it is nice to have a hip bag that I can put my phone, keys, etc. into and free up my shoulder from the burden of my overstuffed purse. There are TONS of inspiration and ideas on Pinterest […]
I’ve had this fabric since some time last year, and I wanted to make a lighter jacket with it for fall and spring. Something that you could just throw on before going outside if it was a little chilly. I started using a pattern, but I changed it so much that you can’t really call […]
When I was deciding what I wanted to pack for my weekend trip to Cincinnati for our friends’ bar opening, I started to go through my closet. I am definitely in a “black phase”, so I decided to steer myself in that direction. The weather there was a bit warmer than here, so I opted […]
Last weekend I went on the first trip on a plane I have gone on in awhile. I think the last time was maybe 5 years ago. It was just a weekend trip, so I didn’t want to bring my bigger rolling bag, and I thought a backpack would work well. I looked up the […]
I seem to have a bit of an affinity for fabrics with skulls on them. Last year Twisted Needle Textiles had the perfect round for me, too! Lots of skulls, so I purchased several different fabrics in different bases and even ordered more when they had a rerun round. This fabric was from the first […]
After going to a job interview downtown, and wanting to bring my laptop over some downtime, I realized that my laptop bag had seen better days. The straps were ripping off the pleather…which happens with pleather. I decided to make myself a new laptop bag out of a white calfhide side I purchased last year […]
