I go between wanting a big purse and NOT wanting a big purse, but alas…my life needs a big purse. During the week I tend to bring work home with me at times with the best of intentions (spoiler: it rarely leaves my purse). On the weekends I generally have a tournament or two that […]
There are times when I am just not interested in lugging my purse around. In these moments, it is nice to have a hip bag that I can put my phone, keys, etc. into and free up my shoulder from the burden of my overstuffed purse. There are TONS of inspiration and ideas on Pinterest […]
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 have been wanting to make this scarf for all of this year, so I decided to finally make it this past week. I knew it would be a bit slapdash to make it. The waterfall nature of the scarf with varying lengths just look like you start cutting and see what happens. Which is […]
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 […]
This was a fun outfit to make, and I was going more for a post-apocalyptic look for it. A strong, fierce female. I have a board on Pinterest where I gathered a bunch of ideas, and then started working on drafting my vision. The Jacket: The first item had to be this little jacket. I […]
I showed in a previous post a dress turned into a top that I made for a wedding in August. Here is what I ended up making and wearing to it. I have several black skirts that I have made over the years, so I thought the next attempt would just be a top that […]
