Who needs more drama, amiright? There seems to be enough in the world today! In an effort to stop watching the news and the unfolding angst in my Facebook feed I decided I needed to get into my sewing room and use up some of that fabric I have been hoarding. Self care right here. […]
I don’t know about the rest of you, but this has not been a successful sewing year. I’m mostly making masks, but I have gotten a few other things made in the last few months. Most nights I am just tired from work and cooking and cleaning. Not a lot of extra energy. Normally I […]
Awhile back I came across this picture, or a derivation of it, on Pinterest: There are quite a few pictures of it now, some as low as $20 for the knock off copy of the original one. This is one of those instances where you could definitely buy it for less, but I’m sure the […]
You know, making something creative and difficult is both enthralling and frustrating at the same time. It is nice to just make a simple top sometimes. This is my pattern mash up of the Sneha top (Wardrobe by Me) with the Sophia top (Bella Sunshine Designs). It is a loose knit tunic from a rayon/spandex […]
I go between wanting a big purse and NOT wanting a big purse, but alas…my life needs a big purse. During the week I tend to bring work home with me at times with the best of intentions (spoiler: it rarely leaves my purse). On the weekends I generally have a tournament or two that […]
I must admit…I love a good long cardigan. It offers nice bottom coverage and tends to be a bit warmer in the winter. This fabric was a bit thin, but we are in a warm streak here at above 25 degrees F. It had plenty of warmth for the mild winter temperatures. The pattern draft […]
This is another pattern hack from the Wardrobe by Me Basic Builder Top. I originally did this hack a few summers ago and made it a summer dress with a keyhole neckline and bands on the sleeves to make it sleeveless. This iteration of the dress is making it long sleeved and using the funnel […]
I like to wear vests in the winter…sometimes in the summer, too. It gives some booty coverage and lengthens out your profile. This is a pattern hack of the WBM Builder top. I used the longer length, created a different front neckline, added the front facing, armhole facings, added a cape and a band at […]
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 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 […]
