I got another of my #makenine challenges completed, and it was this skirt that I have been coveting for several years on Pinterest. I wanted to wear it to work, so that length wasn’t quite going to work for me. I made it longer, but I think I may take the waist off and shave […]
A few years ago I purchased a t-shirt at the store Maurice’s. It was one of those, “I need something new to wear this weekend” purchases, and so I didn’t expect to wear it much. Turns out I wore it A LOT. Sequins always make a shirt better I decided I needed to make a […]
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 […]
I have been meaning to tackle another of these hoodie jackets since I made the first one. Knowing how long it was going to take definitely made my hold off on it, though. I ended up putting it in my #makenine challenge so I was sure to get it done! I also saw this jacket […]
I wanted to make a nice neutral tunic top, so of course, I went over the top with the details. As I was cutting it out I was wondering if I should have made a different neckline, but I really like how cozy this is with the funnel cowl on it. Details: Pattern used for […]
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 […]
Seems a bit ubiquitous to do purple, now doesn’t it? 😉 This is the new round up at Fabric Anthropology with famous musician’s that have passed, in addition to some Pride prints celebrating acceptance. I sewed up the Prince panel, with plans to get over to Paisley Park to get some photos of it in […]
On Saturday night we were going to go to a concert to see A Perfect Circle, so I wanted to get a small bag finished up to carry my phone and wallet. I had been meaning to make something like this for awhile now, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. I made […]
There are a pair of stretch jeggings I have where I really like the fit of them. They are kind of straight leg leggings, and I wanted to copy them for awhile now. I finally got that done this weekend. When I copy a RTW item I own, I turn it inside out, cover each […]
I love the fact that I am at a place in my sewing that I can have an idea and be able to draft patterns to what I want. This doesn’t always mean the execution is easy, though! This jacket was a huge pain the butt, and took most of a day, but I love […]
