Well, it is finally starting to warm up here these days. I went for a walk with my son last night around the lake wearing a t-shirt and yoga pants, and I was sweaty when we got home. Well, he was riding his bike, so it was a fast walk/jog for me. I am trying […]

Well, I am trying! I did actually wear me made on the weekend, too. I wore some fleece pants I made on Saturday and wore some leggings I made on Sunday. Here is a Monday work outfit. Oh, how I dislike Mondays! At least our weather is warming up. I almost went bare legged this […]
Here is my day 2 outfit, which is for casual Friday at work. I have started pulling out my summer tops, though it is really not even Spring-like yet. We had snow this week. Sucks. So I will pretend that it is summer-like with my tank top with pretty flowers on it. 🙂 If you […]
I am going to try to participate in Me Made May this month. This will require me taking an almost daily photo, which will be a challenge. I will give it a shot, though! I signed up for 5 a week, but I am going to try 7 a week. Some of those weekend days […]
I am currently participating in a blog contest where we sew something each week based on a theme. This is the first week’s theme – Nature Inspired. I based it off some fabric I have been hoarding for a long time. The look is inspired by the American Southwest landscapes. If you are interested in […]
This dress is all satin, and another labor of love. It wasn’t too difficult to put together, but I wasn’t sure if I would ever wear it. I dressed it down here with a black sweater, so it wasn’t so over the top. The fabric was a great find and I probably paid around $5 […]
I can’t wait for spring, so I can take pictures outside. These pictures inside are for the birds. It is so hard to get the color right and you can barely make everything out! This is a nicely lined jacket that is version #1 for me. I have some fabrics that I want to use […]
I have been playing with some leather in my sewing room lately. The leather in this outfit is called Perfection Fused Leather, and is a bit of a man-made concoction. Somehow they fused calfskin onto a lycra based fabric, and it is sold by the yard instead of by the hide. It is rather nice […]
This outfit is another one that I made in it’s entirety. I really rather love the steampunk looks. Their Victorianesque profile has a bit of a modern ascetic. This is kind of a toned down version for work wear. The skirt was a bit of work, but it was a labor of love. Those ruffles […]
I have been sewing up a storm for myself lately, but have been bad about posting my outfits. Here is something I made that I am rather proud of…it is moto-style shirt/jacket. It has lace overlays on the side seams and the back flap. It is pretty and luckily I didn’t have to buy any […]
