Hey, I sewed something up this week! I have had this cut out for a few weeks, so I finally got around to sewing it up. It is basically this same top, only with a longer band around the bottom and deeper pockets. This is only 2-way stretch, so it is a bit tighter around […]
I do tend to fall back on styles that I really like to wear a lot. Right now I am working from home, so comfort is key! I am trying to be better about not looking like a total slob, but sometimes the effort is tough. It is easy when I have comfortable pieces to […]

I showed in a previous post a dress turned into a top that I made for a wedding in August. Here is what I ended up making and wearing to it. I have several black skirts that I have made over the years, so I thought the next attempt would just be a top that […]
I don’t know about you, but dressing for weddings always has me stumped. I want to be comfortable for the requisite eating, drinking and (hopefully) dancing, but I also want to look nice. If it is a family event, then I usually want to wear something I made. That is usually something that gets asked […]
Sewing Mamas forum is doing a stash game for September, so I decided I would join in. There isn’t much participation on the forum these days, but I figured it would be something that would give me a push. I do have limited time with the kids’ sports, but I would like to get […]
