Just a quick blog post to show I have sewn a few things. I just haven’t gotten them posted on my blog! Here is another top made from a pattern I drafted a few years ago from a RTW top I loved. It is nice to have a few staple patterns that you can pull […]
I generally try to sew something up for the girl for her birthday, since it is a special day. Having my birthday 2 weeks before Christmas makes you appreciate people actually remembering that you have a birthday. 😉 This was a last minute, start at 10:30pm and finish at 1 am, outfit. The fabric is […]
For my daughter’s birthday, she wanted a new pair of shoes like I bought for myself last summer. These are not cheap shoes. Zazzle is a website where you can put designs, art and a miriad of sayings on just about anything. Last year I discovered that they could put tiled designs on shoes, and […]
I finally got pictures of this top that I made in late summer. I have shared a picture of the skirt before, but here is a better shot of it. The shirt is my drape top pattern out of Modern Jersey in my own fabric design. I really like this design, and even put it […]
This fabric design was one of the first designs I put together, and I still really love how it turned out. I think one of the designs looks like a lion. Do you see it? I printed this on the cotton lycra at Spoonflower, and it didn’t print out a true black. You can see […]
Over the summer I made a few dresses that were worn quite often. I used the Sneha tunic/dress from Wardrobe by Me for the base of these dresses. These first ones were just the basic pattern, only I added bands to the arms. The bands were 2-3″ shorter than the armscye hole. This first one […]
I absolutely love how this outfit turned out for my daughter. These patterns are the Cruise and Star from Blaverry. I received these for free as part of the promotions team, but all opinions are my own. The Girl has been complaining that she didn’t have enough shorts for summer. I tend not to make […]
Me: Do you like the outfit? I think it looks nice on you. Girl: I look like a business person. Me: You look classy. Girl: What does classy mean. Me: The opposite of trashy. You look stylish. Girl: I always look stylish. She does like how it looks on her, to be clear. The only […]
Time to get some summer sewing done, right? Well, I actually made these a few months ago, but she finally wore them this week when we were hit with a warm spell. She told me that she couldn’t wear jean shorts to school anymore. The hell? I looked up the online dress code and it […]
Pattern test/review of Sneha Tunic and Dress by Wardrobe by Me (the pattern is on sale for a week at $7) When this test came up, I was already in the midst of a few other tests wrapping up. I just couldn’t NOT throw my hat in the ring, though. I love this top, and it […]
