Gathered cowl top

By on October 5, 2017

I ordered this bamboo jersey fabric from Nature’s Fabric, and expected it to be more of a true red.  It is a bit of a rusty red (more rusty than I could get the color to show here), so it wasn’t going to work for what I initially intended.  Instead, I though I would make […]

Me Made May – Week #4 and to the end

By on June 2, 2017

Last full week, which is good since I am getting tired of trying to get outfit pictures!  I used to do outfit pictures daily, and I would usually just go home at lunch to do them.  I haven’t been doing that very often lately, so I try to get them before leaving for work in […]

Me Made May – Week #3

By on May 22, 2017

Here we are at week #3!  I am trying not to wear the same thing twice, and that doesn’t appear to be an issue so far.  I have a lot of clothes that I have made over the years.  This was a very rainy and wet and COLD week, so not much for outside pictures. […]

Just call me Morticia

By on February 8, 2017

No, I am not feeling depressed.  Yes, I like to wear black.  I try not to wear all black, since that might beg the question of “whose funeral”.  To which, the obvious reply would be, “I haven’t decided yet.” 😉 This top is my Sneha tunic hack. I described how I drafted and changed the […]

Body shape and dressing for it

By on August 18, 2016

In one of my favorite groups on Facebook, we try to help ladies figure out their shape and how to dress for it. I think I have this mainly figured out at 42.  I know as I get older it will all change again, though. The Admin, Becca, wanted us to post what we will […]

Wardrobe staple – white top with a flounce

By on June 21, 2016

I was supposed to be working on a casual wardrobe, and this ended up not being so casual.  It is more of a dressy top to wear to work in the summer, but that is okay.  I needed this! It fits a little tight, since it is a rayon with lycra, so not as much […]
