Here we are at the beginning of another year! They seem to be going by faster the older I get. Time sure has sped up the last few years. It is hard to believe that I have a teenager and almost a teenager, and that hubs and I will be celebrating 20 years wed this […]
Another week…hey, I’m on a roll! This week is an ode to comfy business casual office wear. I wore knits all week at work, was comfy and didn’t look too casual. Monday, December 4th – no picture, I wore RTW that day. Tuesday, December 5th Cardigan: Moss modal jersey, my own pattern Straight leg leggings: […]
Hey look, something that is not a pattern test or strike off sewing! I have been wanting to make another sheer inset top in black. I have made a white one and one with huge sleeves. The process in drafting this was pretty easy. I used a dolman top pattern that I made from a […]
These are some summer tops that I drafted/hacked from either patterns I made previously, or by using the Sneha by Wardrobe by Me. I used my style sheet that I put together from tops I found on Pinterest: Then, I went back and looked at more tops. Here is the first one. I modified a […]

Summertime around these parts consists of many hours watching ball games – both softball and baseball. This means I sit in the hot sun sweating and getting odd tan lines for hours at a time. I wanted to make a mix and match wardrobe capsule that would keep me cool, look awesome and be easy […]
I saw this striped fabric on a custom fabric website and thought it would be perfect for the pattern test I did on the cropped jacket. Unfortunately, I spent way too much on fabric for these pieces, but sometimes you just gotta splurge. Most of my fabrics I buy are at a discount fabric warehouse, […]
Here is a Pinterest pattern hack coming for you. This pin is pretty popular. It is a short-sleeved top with a “cape” over it. If you are on Pinterest, I am sure you have seen it. I know it comes up in my feed all the time. I wanted to make this as part of […]
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 […]
