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 […]
My accomplishments this week Focus Photo – We got a bit of snow this week… Sewing – My 52 week sewing challenge for the week was to sew something for a boy. I made a Bram Raglan for my son with some of the moon fabrics from Zenith & Quasar (moon phases panel, moon surface […]
This week I decided to pick up my loom again, and finished this with a few sessions of binge watching Netflix after dinner. I used the pink Knifty Knitter loom that is 9.5″ long on the base. It’s the smallest one. I usually use the green one for my wider cowls that I join […]
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 […]
Of course, I had to make a hack of this pattern right away. Not that there aren’t a ton of options, but I wanted to copy a sweater that I already owned. It is pretty close to this pattern, only with narrow arms. I also wanted a bit more booty coverage. Base pattern: RuLo top […]
My accomplishments this week I really didn’t get much done this week…I was sick all week, so I was just getting things done that I needed to get off my plate. I did sew a bit…I wanted to stay away from everyone and not get them sick, too. Focus Photo – Just because I loved […]
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 week was more sporadic. I had Monday off of work, so I spent the day sewing and didn’t take a shower until right before I went to bed. I was also sick all damn week. I got a head cold the weekend before and dang if it didn’t hang on with big hairy paws. […]
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 […]
