Over the summer I made a few dresses that were worn quite often. I used the Sneha tunic/dress from Wardrobe by Me for the base of these dresses. These first ones were just the basic pattern, only I added bands to the arms. The bands were 2-3″ shorter than the armscye hole. This first one […]

The start of fall sewing
By Stacy on August 30, 2016
The chill isn’t quite in the air here yet, but it is time to start thinking about fall. I have plans for doing a Fall/Winter capsule like the one I put together for spring. The main colors I will be using are going to be black, red and white. This vest fit nicely into that […]

A CAbi hack
By Stacy on August 1, 2016
Every 6 months or so I am invited by a friend to her CAbi party. I really do like the clothes, but in my opinion, they have gone down in quality over the years. The last pair of overpriced pants I bought from them stretched out so very, very much and had poor recovery. So…not […]
