I have been sewing with Wardrobe by Me patterns for several years now, along with using them for pattern hacks. I have to say that they are great base patterns that you can easily modify and use for wardrobe staples. This post today is geared towards using the patterns by Wardrobe by Me for staples […]
Well, holy crap. Summer is gone. We are on the cusp of school over here, and it feels like we barely had any summertime. It was a very rainy summer over here, and it was capped by lots of sports and LOTS of running the kids around. September and October look to be super busy, […]
I am all for figure concealing clothing right now. Never did get that summer bod, so we are looping right back in winter bod. 😉 I am loving layers right now. I look on Pinterest at all those outfits with 5,000 layers and think of all the things I could sew to make it happen. […]
Well…summer has just flown by. I’m sure I am not the only one that feels this way, as it seems to do that every year. It was a good thing that I got a lot of things sewn up before I started my job, since I have no free time anymore. Between my new job […]
I wanted to make a heavy knit black jacket to wear to work, and so I decided to draft something. I ended up drafting it and cutting it out before I started my new job, but didn’t quite get it sewed up. I used a 4 way heavy ponte like knit, and used a princess […]
It seems like as the end of the school year approaches, everyone is just barely getting by! We finished up volleyball for the boy and girl, and then also had to make sure all their end of year projects were getting finished up. Both will end with A-averages, and both had great volleyball seasons with […]
Well, it happened. I got a job. No more sleeping in, drinking coffee and checking Facebook for the first half of the day. 😉 No…now I have to actually use my brain again! It should be interesting and challenging, which is something my last job wasn’t for several years. I’m looking forward to it! Now, […]
Well, April just flew by. We had some out of town shenanigans, lots of snow, the big melt, and running around. The boy started high school boys volleyball, so two volleyball kids meant lots of games and tournaments. I am also still looking for gainful employment, so that has been tons of fun. 😉 Here […]
I saw an ad on Instagram for some different temporary tattoos from a company called Momentary Ink. These are like your normal temporary tattoos that you give the kids, only it has a “de-glossing” liquid you put over the top of them. They also are “sticky” when you put them on your skin, so they […]
There are times when I am just not interested in lugging my purse around. In these moments, it is nice to have a hip bag that I can put my phone, keys, etc. into and free up my shoulder from the burden of my overstuffed purse. There are TONS of inspiration and ideas on Pinterest […]
