Now that summer has arrived, and I am sitting at baseball games and tournaments for hours on end, I have come to the realization that I don’t have much to wear. I have a fairly decent work wardrobe (though I could use some new tops), but casual is not good at all. I’d like to […]
Category: Sewing for me
Now that Me Made May is done and gone, I can start mixing up what I wear with my RTW articles. During MMM I tried to wear a top and bottom that I had made. Turns out this is getting easier, as I have been making my clothes for several years now. The wardrobe capsule […]
I started writing this post in July. Yep, last July. Just a little behind. 😉 I worked on drafting these pants, and went through three different versions. Some were drafting fails, though still wearable. Stuff happens. *shrug* These pants were a drafting work-in-process. The first brown pair…the side seams were off kilter. Totally my fault […]
Even though I have way too many things on my plate (like usual), I thought this pattern was very cute. I volunteered to test it, and it did turn out very cute! Wardrobe by Me Amelia Bomber Jacket Outfit details: Jeggings made by me, top – CAbi, boots – American Eagle I used some Nanette […]

Keyhole overlay top – pattern hack
By Stacy on April 6, 2016
A few years ago, I pinned this picture on my Things To Make board on Pinterest. I love the look of this top, and figured I could just hack a t-shirt pattern or something to make it. As part of my wardrobe capsule, I wanted to make that top…finally. After having sewn up the Sneha […]

Wardrobe Capsule – A misshapen dress
By Stacy on March 19, 2016
Upon (mostly) perfecting the pattern for the misshapen top, I decided to try to make it into a dress. This top part drapes to the side, so it needs to be wider than you would think. If you take your normal top pattern that has some generous room at the waist, add about 10″. […]

Wardrobe Capsule – Jeggings
By Stacy on March 4, 2016
I have had the hardest time making jeggings. I made a few pairs a few years ago and didn’t wear them. They ended up in the charity pile. I thought I would tackle this project again with my wardrobe capsule. I decided to use this dark denim that has a brown underlying dye to it, […]

Wardrobe Capsule – Finished!
By Stacy on February 28, 2016When I was thinking about my wardrobe capsule, I wanted to use what I had in my fabric stash. This was not hard, as I have a lot. I have been drawn to lighter colors these days, so I took out my creamy neutrals and started planning the individual pieces I was going to make. […]

Sneha Flare Tunic
By Stacy on February 22, 2016Pattern test/review of Sneha Tunic and Dress by Wardrobe by Me (the pattern is on sale for a week at $7) When this test came up, I was already in the midst of a few other tests wrapping up. I just couldn’t NOT throw my hat in the ring, though. I love this top, and it […]
I know…it seems like all I’m doing these days is pattern testing. I have told myself to back off, since I got sick and overextended during these last few tests. I am done for a while, after I show another one I have done, promise. I have a dance costume to make for a friends […]
