On the next installment of things I have been meaning to make for years, are these yoga pants I have had pinned on Pinterest: I don’t want to make them so wide-legged, and I wanted a higher, different waistband. I purchased a heavy bamboo lycra from Nature’s Fabrics for this project (380 GSM). This needs […]
I signed up to do a few pattern tests for Wardrobe by Me in September. I should have known that I would be short on time, but I was optimistic that they wouldn’t be a problem. Big mistake. I ended up getting this done at the end of the deadline and pictures taken in a […]
I’ve had this fabric since some time last year, and I wanted to make a lighter jacket with it for fall and spring. Something that you could just throw on before going outside if it was a little chilly. I started using a pattern, but I changed it so much that you can’t really call […]
I volunteered to test the Bella Sunshine Design’s Sophia racerback top/tunic/dress, and it turned out very nicely for a quick summer top. I made two of them. One for my daughter in a size 2, with the top length. This is nice basic for her wardrobe. I made it in bamboo spandex jersey from Nature’s […]
I haven’t made too many button down shirts for my boys, so I signed up for this pattern test at Wardrobe by Me. I have made A LOT of button down shirts, so this is not something that is a new skill for me. Growing up competing in rodeo, we had to wear button down […]
I never really know how the girl will go when it comes to dresses. Sometimes she loves them and sometimes she is more, “meh…”, and it goes to the back of her closet. I showed her this pattern, and she said she would wear it. I think the pockets sold her on it. Pockets are […]

This is one of the pattern tests that I just could not say “no” to doing. These cargos were a much needed addition to my wardrobe, so I couldn’t help but raise my hand. These are the Sequoia Cargo pants and shorts from Itch to Stitch. They also come with tabs in the legs so […]
This was one of the pattern tests I did last week. I was sick all week, so not great timing on my part. I really liked this tunic, though, and the pattern has a ton of options. From George + Ginger: The RuLo Top and Dress is packed with amazing options! Choose from oversized dolman […]
In the interest of cleaning up some old posts in my blog, I bring you a pattern test that got dropped this summer. It fit some of the ladies, but overall it was hard to get it right. It wasn’t the easiest pattern to make with all those gathers in knit materials. I wasn’t sure […]
