Now that summer has arrived, and I am sitting at baseball games and tournaments for hours on end, I have come to the realization that I don’t have much to wear. I have a fairly decent work wardrobe (though I could use some new tops), but casual is not good at all. I’d like to […]
Now that Me Made May is done and gone, I can start mixing up what I wear with my RTW articles. During MMM I tried to wear a top and bottom that I had made. Turns out this is getting easier, as I have been making my clothes for several years now. The wardrobe capsule […]
I started writing this post in July. Yep, last July. Just a little behind. 😉 I worked on drafting these pants, and went through three different versions. Some were drafting fails, though still wearable. Stuff happens. *shrug* These pants were a drafting work-in-process. The first brown pair…the side seams were off kilter. Totally my fault […]
I have been participating in Me Made May this year, for the most part. I have had a few days where I haven’t worn my me mades, but for the most part, I have been successful at it. I haven’t gotten pictures for everything, but here are the ones I have done so far. And […]

Ciri cosplay – Top and Pants
By Stacy on May 8, 2016Another spring…another cosplay. Today I am showing the pants and top for the Ciri cosplay. This is Ciri from The Witcher 3. She is a warrior. She wears a lot of leather. To start I made her pants out of a faux leather apparel fabric. They are supposed to be leather and are cut in […]

Ciri cosplay – the accessories
By Stacy on May 7, 2016I knew that my daughter wanted to be Ciri for many, many months, but I was stumped on how to make a few of the items. The metal belt that Ciri wears is one of them. I wasn’t sure how I would make it so that all of the pieces were the same. I knew […]

Summer is coming
By Stacy on April 20, 2016
Time to get some summer sewing done, right? Well, I actually made these a few months ago, but she finally wore them this week when we were hit with a warm spell. She told me that she couldn’t wear jean shorts to school anymore. The hell? I looked up the online dress code and it […]

Keyhole overlay top – pattern hack
By Stacy on April 6, 2016
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 […]

Cosplay Corset DIY
By Stacy on March 24, 2016
In many female cosplay costumes, a corset is a integral part of the costume. There are a lot of “period” (however fictitious the period may be) costumes, where corsets are the norm for the female characters. Ciri’s corset is more of a protection. It is made of leather. From the pictures, it doesn’t appear to […]
