When I saw this fabric in the pile at the fabric store, I walked past it the first time. Then I thought about it. You know when you think back, and say, “Hey, I should have bought that!”?? Yeah, so OF COURSE, I went back to buy it. Leggings, are my normal pattern that I […]

This is an entire outfit that I made. The snake print leggings are made from a stretch twill and then I made the knit tunic, too. I added designs I drew onto the shirt. I draw them by hand, scan into Photoshop and then I can manipulate them a bit (lengthen, widen, add designs together). […]
This is version #2 of my lined pencil skirt. It is a very pretty brocade with gold leaves. I lined it in black china silk, and added a walking vent. The original pattern didn’t have that, and what the heck was up with that?? Pencil skirts need those things or else you are just about […]
This skirt is tight. Like I need Spanx underwear and control top tights TIGHT. Those 10 pounds, I tell you. I get that under control and maybe this will be more comfy. The zipper is seriously pulling here, but I just need to have something long over the back…like a long sweater. Winter layers […]
It is hard to tell, but the fabric on this skirt is SHINY. I love it. It is so comfy. Of course, I washed it after making it and part of the waistband came undone. GRRRRRRRR! Now I need to take out my FAVORITE (NOT!) sewing implement…the seam ripper. *sigh* This is my “go to” […]
I have a big place in my heart for Western looks. I grew up on a farm and competed in rodeos, so I have some history there. Of course, now I live in a city. I’m one of those City People. I am so far away from my roots now, I can barely see the […]
Look here…another cross-front top! This one I cut a bit too tight and it just didn’t lay right. Under a sweater it goes! Wintertime is good for hiding shit. Like those extra 10 pounds I have gained this past year. *sigh* Being in shape and keeping the weight down gets harder and harder. Guess it […]
I love cross front tops. They tend to be slimming and figure flattering. They make the girls look pretty good, which at my advanced age of “40”…’tis a good thing. I got a piece of lycra-polyester blend fabric that had a handkerchief print on it. I wasn’t sure quite what I wanted to do with […]
I have been so lax in taking pictures lately! My main excuse is that I have ZERO time in the morning. I am perpetually late for work. Every. Day. *sigh* I know I should get up earlier, but sleep! Yeah, sleep is my friend. So not a morning person. Anyways, here is something new I […]
This is a shirt I used fabric from one of the ladies at my sewing retreat. There was a give and take table, and this one-yard piece was on it. I thought it would be perfect for a dressy summer tank top! Tank top – Made by Me Jacket – CAbi Capris – LOFT Earrings […]
