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 […]
I am all for figure concealing clothing right now. Never did get that summer bod, so we are looping right back in winter bod. 😉 I am loving layers right now. I look on Pinterest at all those outfits with 5,000 layers and think of all the things I could sew to make it happen. […]
After I got my job offer I decided to try on my work pants. The last time I wore most of them was about 1.5 years ago before I started working from home. The yoga pants have not been kind to me. 😉 Yes, nonnnnnnne of them fit! So! Time to make something I can […]
Well, it happened. I got a job. No more sleeping in, drinking coffee and checking Facebook for the first half of the day. 😉 No…now I have to actually use my brain again! It should be interesting and challenging, which is something my last job wasn’t for several years. I’m looking forward to it! Now, […]
As part of my #makenine for 2019, I put a pair of moto looking leggings on it. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided that I would change it up to be more pants similar to the ones I made last fall for my Warrior outfit. These were self-drafted and require some different […]
I have really pulled back lately in sewing up strike off samples, but I rather liked this stripe from Moonbeam Textile Company. It is part of their Floral Force pre-order round that runs until May 21st. I thought this print would work great for a maxi dress, so I based this off of my favorite […]
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 […]
When I was deciding what I wanted to pack for my weekend trip to Cincinnati for our friends’ bar opening, I started to go through my closet. I am definitely in a “black phase”, so I decided to steer myself in that direction. The weather there was a bit warmer than here, so I opted […]
Last weekend I went on the first trip on a plane I have gone on in awhile. I think the last time was maybe 5 years ago. It was just a weekend trip, so I didn’t want to bring my bigger rolling bag, and I thought a backpack would work well. I looked up the […]
Last week’s prompt for the #52weeksewingchallenge was to sew something with a collar. I looked at Pinterest and was going to draft up something new, but then figured I might as well finish a top I had cut out last year. This top is The Perfect Tunic from Wardrobe by Me, and I had cut […]
