I do tend to fall back on styles that I really like to wear a lot. Right now I am working from home, so comfort is key! I am trying to be better about not looking like a total slob, but sometimes the effort is tough. It is easy when I have comfortable pieces to […]

FA Fashion week line – The Woods outfit
By Stacy on October 16, 2018Here are the deets on this outfit. I was going for a gypsy/forest witch kind of look to them. The fabric is from the Fashion Week line at Fabric Anthropology.

FA Fashion week line – The Warrior outfit
By Stacy on October 14, 2018This was a fun outfit to make, and I was going more for a post-apocalyptic look for it. A strong, fierce female.

Summer capsule – addendum
By Stacy on September 18, 2018I thought I would do a blog post on the status of my summer capsule. I wore it a lot more this summer, as I was working from home, so it was more practical to wear my comfy clothes than office wear. One of the perks of working from home! In the spring of 2017 […]
An error in judgement, then the seam ripper
By Stacy on September 14, 2018I don’t know about you, but dressing for weddings always has me stumped. I want to be comfortable for the requisite eating, drinking and (hopefully) dancing, but I also want to look nice. If it is a family event, then I usually want to wear something I made. That is usually something that gets asked […]
This is one of those easier to make leather bags. I have made three of these so far. The first two I made were not as wide, and I am having a bit of a problem getting my 5 x 7 journal in it, so I decided to make this one a bit bigger. I […]
