As I was taking the pictures for this outfit, I was a bit struck at how it looked like I was trying a costume on from an earlier era. Oh well. These pieces will be fine in more modern outfits, too. I think the shirt will be great with some skinny blue jeans and […]

As I was taking the pictures for this outfit, I was a bit struck at how it looked like I was trying a costume on from an earlier era. Oh well. These pieces will be fine in more modern outfits, too. I have had a vision of this shirt in my head for about […]
The Boy has his First Communion coming up, and they need to have some fancy dress for this momentous occassion. He gets to drink wine. In church. I know some kids will likely show up in suits, but I didn’t want to waste money on something that would get worn all of one time before he […]
I wanted to make some new wristlets. I tend to use these a lot and my current one is from last April. The white ribbon is quite stained from a year’s worth of use, and I also wanted something with lighter colors for Spring. I had this pretty embroidered silk leftover from something. I think this […]
You know how they say, measure twice and cut once? Yeah, I need to listen to that. I thought I might be able to squeeze a maxi skirt out of this green embroidered fabric, but alas I was about 1/3 of a pattern short. Luckily I had a matching linen that I could use to piece […]

I made this shirt on Saturday, and decided to wear it to church on Sunday morning. Gave me a good excuse to take pictures of it! Unfortunatley, it decided to turn back into March instead of playing like it was May. I was very, very chilly taking these pictures! I’m surprised you can’t see my breath. […]
The Boy has been asking, and asking, and ASKING me to make him a cushion for his room. I have a bunch of fabric to fill it after my recent sewing binge, so I was able to fulfill his request. Like a good Mommy. 😉 This project is really nice in that it used up […]
Here is the next version and top #7 using this pattern. At least they are all a little bit different! I used two types of fabric on this one. The periwinkle blue is a stretchy synthetic fabric. It could be used as a bottom-weight, if you so desired, as it has a nice thickness. The spotted fabric is a […]
I have been putting my hair up in a lot of braids lately. I LOVE Pinterest for hair inspiration. I am growing out my fringe right now, so I tend to either put it in a braid or curl it with a big curling iron or my straightener. Then I sweep it off to the […]
