Summertime around these parts consists of many hours watching ball games – both softball and baseball. This means I sit in the hot sun sweating and getting odd tan lines for hours at a time. I wanted to make a mix and match wardrobe capsule that would keep me cool, look awesome and be easy […]
No, I am not feeling depressed. Yes, I like to wear black. I try not to wear all black, since that might beg the question of “whose funeral”. To which, the obvious reply would be, “I haven’t decided yet.” 😉 This top is my Sneha tunic hack. I described how I drafted and changed the […]
I had hoped to make this outfit over the holidays, but I never quite got to it. I did a lot of reading, and very little else. So now I’m paying for that lack of industry. I have two purses to get done in the next two weeks, so of course, I made myself something […]
Ah, the holidays. The food, the fun, the endless get togethers with family and friends. I don’t know about the rest of you, but being comfortable is pretty high on my list. It is also nice to wear layers, since if you are doing the cooking, or are in a crowded house…you can get pretty […]
No modeling of these! Generally, there are things I tend to buy. Jeans, outerwear and underwear being in that group. It seems a waste of time to make underwear, since they are so cheap. Of course, if you like a certain overpriced brand in a version they no longer carry…then you might be inclined to […]
I finally got pictures of this top that I made in late summer. I have shared a picture of the skirt before, but here is a better shot of it. The shirt is my drape top pattern out of Modern Jersey in my own fabric design. I really like this design, and even put it […]
Here is a Pinterest pattern hack coming for you. This pin is pretty popular. It is a short-sleeved top with a “cape” over it. If you are on Pinterest, I am sure you have seen it. I know it comes up in my feed all the time. I wanted to make this as part of […]
I like to look at CAbi for inspiration on new pieces to make. I like the details, in general, and they tend to have nice finishes. I have a friend that invites me to her parties, and I usually end up buying a few pieces that fit into my wardrobe. This casual top caught my […]
Another challenging garment! Wardrobe by Me needed testers for their new coat, and I volunteered for it, although I knew I would be pressed for time. My chronic back pain also ratcheted it up a notch this past month…or so. As it was, I was late on this. I used fabric for the outer that […]
Over the summer I made a few dresses that were worn quite often. I used the Sneha tunic/dress from Wardrobe by Me for the base of these dresses. These first ones were just the basic pattern, only I added bands to the arms. The bands were 2-3″ shorter than the armscye hole. This first one […]
