It was a fine morning to sashay through the garden. Too bad I had to go straight to work! It would have been nice to just sit on the deck and enjoy a cup of coffee. Instead I had to hurry up my two little ones and get them off to school. This is another […]

This is almost a maxi dress…because, well…it isn’t a dress. I made the top and bottom separately on this so I can mix or match. I won the fabric from an online message board and it traveled all the way from Germany to land in my little sewing room. Hopefully, I treated it well. I […]
After a brief foray into the 90’s on Sunday, we are back into the 60’s this week. While I am not willing to put on tights, I find that my boots are still in full rotation. This day I managed to wear nothing that I made myself, either. Really!! It really is something of a […]

Almost summer and that image in the mirror
By Stacy on May 26, 2012I have committed a fashion faux pas, apparently. White jeans before Memorial Day. Is that even a current faux pas? If people can wear pajama pants to the grocery store, you would think I could wear white jeans before Memorial Day. These jeans are another CAbi purchase. When I got them, they were pretty snug, […]
I love this dress. It probably helps that I made this dress. It is comfy jersey with a bit of cool with the appliqué back that has some venting for those hot summer days…where I will be sitting on the deck…with my wine. That’s my plan. Dress: made by me Earrings: Silpada Necklace: Claire’s (many […]
As I was taking the pictures for this outfit, I was a bit struck at how it looked like I was trying a costume on from an earlier era. Oh well. These pieces will be fine in more modern outfits, too. I think the shirt will be great with some skinny blue jeans and […]
One thing with making your own clothes, is that sometimes things just don’t work out. This skirt is one of them. I have remade it FOUR TIMES. I think I finally got a flattering silhouette on it this time. The fabric is a very textural stretch poly that I rather like, so it was worth […]
I made this shirt on Saturday, and decided to wear it to church on Sunday morning. Gave me a good excuse to take pictures of it! Unfortunatley, it decided to turn back into March instead of playing like it was May. I was very, very chilly taking these pictures! I’m surprised you can’t see my breath. […]
I love maxi skirts, but I always make sure I have some sort of fitted top when I wear them. Otherwise they just seem “too much”. Here are two of them that I made in the last few weeks… I decided to make a skirt to match a pink top I had made (before trying […]
As I only seem to take pictures of outfits that I have made recently, I will post them! I love, love, love this shirt. I would love it even more if it was a smidge bigger, but as I plan on *hopefully* losing a few pounds before summer…it should fit better then. It is a […]
