I signed up to do a few pattern tests for Wardrobe by Me in September. I should have known that I would be short on time, but I was optimistic that they wouldn’t be a problem. Big mistake. I ended up getting this done at the end of the deadline and pictures taken in a […]
This summer we opted to get a weekly CSA (community supported agriculture) box from a farm that delivered to my husband’s work building. Having done it in the past, a full share was enough to feed our family when the kids didn’t eat anything really. I figured a full share now would cover us with […]
I have been sewing with Wardrobe by Me patterns for several years now, along with using them for pattern hacks. I have to say that they are great base patterns that you can easily modify and use for wardrobe staples. This post today is geared towards using the patterns by Wardrobe by Me for staples […]
Well, holy crap. Summer is gone. We are on the cusp of school over here, and it feels like we barely had any summertime. It was a very rainy summer over here, and it was capped by lots of sports and LOTS of running the kids around. September and October look to be super busy, […]
I am all for figure concealing clothing right now. Never did get that summer bod, so we are looping right back in winter bod. 😉 I am loving layers right now. I look on Pinterest at all those outfits with 5,000 layers and think of all the things I could sew to make it happen. […]
Well…summer has just flown by. I’m sure I am not the only one that feels this way, as it seems to do that every year. It was a good thing that I got a lot of things sewn up before I started my job, since I have no free time anymore. Between my new job […]
In the last few years I have purchased, sewn up and washed fabrics from a several different custom fabric shops. I know there are several more that offer custom fabric printing, but depending on minimums I won’t order if it has a minimum of over 2 yards. I’m not going to sink that much money […]
I wanted to make a heavy knit black jacket to wear to work, and so I decided to draft something. I ended up drafting it and cutting it out before I started my new job, but didn’t quite get it sewed up. I used a 4 way heavy ponte like knit, and used a princess […]
It seems like as the end of the school year approaches, everyone is just barely getting by! We finished up volleyball for the boy and girl, and then also had to make sure all their end of year projects were getting finished up. Both will end with A-averages, and both had great volleyball seasons with […]
After I got my job offer I decided to try on my work pants. The last time I wore most of them was about 1.5 years ago before I started working from home. The yoga pants have not been kind to me. 😉 Yes, nonnnnnnne of them fit! So! Time to make something I can […]
