My kid is a huge Marvel fan, and once he saw the trailer for the Black Panther he was all ready to see the movie. It looks really, really cool. Unfortunately, he has been a bit sick this weekend, so no movie. I did get the lounge set sewed up for him with Black Panther […]
Here is the second set of prints that I sewed up the samples for Fabric Anthropology. This one relates to Helga in the Vikings series, and is a phrase she said in show. These fabrics are French Terry. A note about printing colors. The brushed poly is a synthetic, and the colors are closer the […]
One of the reasons why I never think I can go on a RTW buying fast is that it is cold here, and you need sweaters. I don’t knit sweaters. I can do a little loom knitting, but that is the extent of my prowess with yarn. Luckily, you can find sweater knits! This is […]
I got another of my #makenine challenges completed, and it was this skirt that I have been coveting for several years on Pinterest. I wanted to wear it to work, so that length wasn’t quite going to work for me. I made it longer, but I think I may take the waist off and shave […]
A few years ago I purchased a t-shirt at the store Maurice’s. It was one of those, “I need something new to wear this weekend” purchases, and so I didn’t expect to wear it much. Turns out I wore it A LOT. Sequins always make a shirt better I decided I needed to make a […]
This is one of the pattern tests that I just could not say “no” to doing. These cargos were a much needed addition to my wardrobe, so I couldn’t help but raise my hand. These are the Sequoia Cargo pants and shorts from Itch to Stitch. They also come with tabs in the legs so […]
This was one of the pattern tests I did last week. I was sick all week, so not great timing on my part. I really liked this tunic, though, and the pattern has a ton of options. From George + Ginger: The RuLo Top and Dress is packed with amazing options! Choose from oversized dolman […]
This is a semi-tutorial. I got some pictures, but usually when I sit down at my machine, all thoughts of pictures go out the window as I am sewing. This shows the process moreso. The 52 Week Sewing Challenge group has for this week’s challenge Sew Something to Make Sewing Easier. This was a head […]
I have been meaning to tackle another of these hoodie jackets since I made the first one. Knowing how long it was going to take definitely made my hold off on it, though. I ended up putting it in my #makenine challenge so I was sure to get it done! I also saw this jacket […]
I wanted to make a nice neutral tunic top, so of course, I went over the top with the details. As I was cutting it out I was wondering if I should have made a different neckline, but I really like how cozy this is with the funnel cowl on it. Details: Pattern used for […]
