I purchased this galaxy swim fabric last summer from Zenith & Quasar (no longer available) with good intentions to make my daughter a swimsuit with it. I didn’t end up getting to it, so I wanted to make sure I got one made in time. She said she is over two pieces where she is […]
So, I thought to myself, “I got this! I am going to use a pattern block I know fits and just modify it for this dress. No problem!” Guess what? Problem! I had to redo the neckline and armholes so many times on this. The neckline is still too high, though. Maybe on my next […]
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 […]
I won’t lie and say this sporty skort is for exercising. It is so I can be comfy sitting in the hot sun. I might try to go for walks before games, since we usually need to arrive an hour before game time. That would be a good use of my time, actually. I always […]
I love how this all turned out! I am excited for the weather to get warmer and I can wear this new casual wardrobe this summer. I made: 4 shirts 4 skorts 1 dress I do have several RTW and previously sewed items that will work with this, as well. I will do a few […]
It has been awhile since I made a blazer, and Wardrobe by Me was going into testing for one. The timing was less than ideal. I had already committed to doing some sample sewing and another test, and then I had a funeral. I was soooooo very glad when I got this finished. It turned […]
With the approach of summer, I decided to try my hand at converting a top I drafted last year (or was it the year before?) into an easy summer dress. I like this top, since it is loose around the waist, but not too loose. This is aided by the gathers just being along a […]
March just zoomed on by here! I was plenty busy, and then I over-committed myself, and here I am all stressed out again. Need to stop that. Part of the problem is that everything came due at once (2 pattern tests and some strike-off sample sewing), and add in some gifts and just fun sewing. […]
Another test for Sofilantjes patterns! I like her style of clothes for kids, since they are on trend and comfy. I still have a few more sizes she can wear in these before she graduates out of them. They go up to a size 14, and right now she is a 10W and 13L. Sylva […]
Luckily my kids’ school colors are some of my favorites. Red and Black. It seems to be pretty popular, since that is the school colors for A LOT of other teams in this area! I do like to wear the colors when going to cheer them on, so I decided to make a new outfit. […]
