I like to wear vests in the winter…sometimes in the summer, too. It gives some booty coverage and lengthens out your profile. This is a pattern hack of the WBM Builder top. I used the longer length, created a different front neckline, added the front facing, armhole facings, added a cape and a band at […]
I have been sewing with Wardrobe by Me patterns for several years now, along with using them for pattern hacks. I have to say that they are great base patterns that you can easily modify and use for wardrobe staples. This post today is geared towards using the patterns by Wardrobe by Me for staples […]
I have really pulled back lately in sewing up strike off samples, but I rather liked this stripe from Moonbeam Textile Company. It is part of their Floral Force pre-order round that runs until May 21st. I thought this print would work great for a maxi dress, so I based this off of my favorite […]
I’ve had this fabric since some time last year, and I wanted to make a lighter jacket with it for fall and spring. Something that you could just throw on before going outside if it was a little chilly. I started using a pattern, but I changed it so much that you can’t really call […]
Last week’s prompt for the #52weeksewingchallenge was to sew something with a collar. I looked at Pinterest and was going to draft up something new, but then figured I might as well finish a top I had cut out last year. This top is The Perfect Tunic from Wardrobe by Me, and I had cut […]
Well, its been terribly cold here in the great North. We had the coldest temperatures and wind chills in 25 years, so schools and businesses were closed. We all just hibernated and stayed inside. I sewed, of course! I received a strike-off from Sugar Ink to sew up for their latest round based on the […]
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 am a sucker for red fabrics. Anything I can mix with black usually ends up in my shopping cart, since I wear it so much. Having my kids’ school colors as red and black definitely helps, since I try to wear the fan colors at their tournaments and games. This is the Flash lightning […]
This was my top for the Pride round at Fabric Anthropology. When I got sent the fabric I was a little concerned by how “colorful” it was. If you haven’t noticed…I tend to wear a lot of neutral colors…and red. So…I thought about what kind of design I wanted to make that would still be […]
I made a few tops for fall that I knew would get used in heavy rotation. I was missing some basic layering tops, and that was just silly. I have plenty of fabric…hello! I like to have longer tops to go with my leggings for booty coverage. For all of these I used the Sneha […]
