I don’t know about the rest of you, but this has not been a successful sewing year. I’m mostly making masks, but I have gotten a few other things made in the last few months. Most nights I am just tired from work and cooking and cleaning. Not a lot of extra energy. Normally I […]
Hey, finally went into my sewing room! As I spend the majority of my day sitting in our home office, with an occasional Zoom meeting and a noon walk around a neighborhood lake, I wanted something comfy and nice looking. The skort pattern is my old standby that I drafted several years ago. I can […]
Awhile back I came across this picture, or a derivation of it, on Pinterest: There are quite a few pictures of it now, some as low as $20 for the knock off copy of the original one. This is one of those instances where you could definitely buy it for less, but I’m sure the […]
I go between wanting a big purse and NOT wanting a big purse, but alas…my life needs a big purse. During the week I tend to bring work home with me at times with the best of intentions (spoiler: it rarely leaves my purse). On the weekends I generally have a tournament or two that […]
I must admit…I love a good long cardigan. It offers nice bottom coverage and tends to be a bit warmer in the winter. This fabric was a bit thin, but we are in a warm streak here at above 25 degrees F. It had plenty of warmth for the mild winter temperatures. The pattern draft […]
This is another pattern hack from the Wardrobe by Me Basic Builder Top. I originally did this hack a few summers ago and made it a summer dress with a keyhole neckline and bands on the sleeves to make it sleeveless. This iteration of the dress is making it long sleeved and using the funnel […]
It is starting to turn pretty chilly now, and we need to make sure to dress for those freezing temps. I also got a new office this week, so no longer in my cozy little cube. It is a bit colder in there, so I need to dress appropriately. Monday, November 4: Dress – New […]
I am calling this a “sort of” cosplay, since I just didn’t have the energy to source all the matching materials and fabrics for this to be a full on cosplay. I still put plenty of time into it…don’t get me wrong. Here is the character: Maria from the Assassin’s Creed movie. She is an […]
I like to wear vests in the winter…sometimes in the summer, too. It gives some booty coverage and lengthens out your profile. This is a pattern hack of the WBM Builder top. I used the longer length, created a different front neckline, added the front facing, armhole facings, added a cape and a band at […]
I’m going to try to do this again. I don’t expect that I will get every day, but maybe a few! I tend to get stuck in a rut of reaching for the same clothes, and I end up having a lot of clothes I don’t wear if I do so. This is going to […]
