I was supposed to be working on a casual wardrobe, and this ended up not being so casual. It is more of a dressy top to wear to work in the summer, but that is okay. I needed this! It fits a little tight, since it is a rayon with lycra, so not as much […]
Here is the outfit that I posted over on Craftingcon.com for their wearable Steampunk challenge. I thought I had already put it up over here, but guess not! I ended up using some pieces that I had previously made this year, along with some new multi-purpose pieces. The first piece in her outfit is a […]
Me: Do you like the outfit? I think it looks nice on you. Girl: I look like a business person. Me: You look classy. Girl: What does classy mean. Me: The opposite of trashy. You look stylish. Girl: I always look stylish. She does like how it looks on her, to be clear. The only […]
I happily decided to test this new swimsuit by Wardrobe by Me, since I wanted a new suit to wear. This is a good basic swimsuit, that most people should be able to make. I did a few things different from the pattern, and Christina asked me to write up a guest blog post on […]
When I volunteered to test this one, I was really leary of whether I would have time. Turns out that feeling was correct! The kids are just so busy right now that I didn’t have a lot of time (baseball practice, softball game, softball practice, baseball game, tournaments all weekend long…). Then…swimsuit pictures. Oy. So […]
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 […]
Another 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 […]
