A few years ago, I pinned this picture on my Things To Make board on Pinterest. I love the look of this top, and figured I could just hack a t-shirt pattern or something to make it. As part of my wardrobe capsule, I wanted to make that top…finally. After having sewn up the Sneha […]
Upon (mostly) perfecting the pattern for the misshapen top, I decided to try to make it into a dress. This top part drapes to the side, so it needs to be wider than you would think. If you take your normal top pattern that has some generous room at the waist, add about 10″. […]
I have had the hardest time making jeggings. I made a few pairs a few years ago and didn’t wear them. They ended up in the charity pile. I thought I would tackle this project again with my wardrobe capsule. I decided to use this dark denim that has a brown underlying dye to it, […]
When I was thinking about my wardrobe capsule, I wanted to use what I had in my fabric stash. This was not hard, as I have a lot. I have been drawn to lighter colors these days, so I took out my creamy neutrals and started planning the individual pieces I was going to make. […]
Pattern test/review of Sneha Tunic and Dress by Wardrobe by Me (the pattern is on sale for a week at $7) When this test came up, I was already in the midst of a few other tests wrapping up. I just couldn’t NOT throw my hat in the ring, though. I love this top, and it […]
I know…it seems like all I’m doing these days is pattern testing. I have told myself to back off, since I got sick and overextended during these last few tests. I am done for a while, after I show another one I have done, promise. I have a dance costume to make for a friends […]
In keeping with my last-minute making things, I made this Saturday before going out with some friends. It took me about two hours or so to get this done. It is pretty simple bag if you don’t “dress it up” at all. I didn’t line it. If I had used a softer lambskin I may […]
These tops are ones that I wear fairly often to work, and are great layering pieces. A few years ago I made a tutorial on how to draft and put together a sleeveless version of this top. Here is that tutorial: Sleeveless Cross-front Top This version is a little different, since I extended one side […]
I have another pattern test for you today. This is the Slouchy Sweatshirt from Nap Time Creations. It is a nice easy sew, and a fairly simple pattern. I wanted to make some easy to wear tops like this, and the pattern test came up. Perfect timing! I made lots! This first one here I […]
I just had to make another infinity scarf, since I love the first one so much. This time I used a less dense yarn, so it took the entire two skeins (94 yards each) for this scarf. It ended up at around 22″ wide. In making these two different ones, it seems that the thickness […]
