Oh skorts, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! #1 My girl is active and doesn’t like to be ladylike. She crawls on the floor, likes to run around, and doesn’t want to worry about showing her underwear. #2 Due to #1 above, she really has a hard time wearing skirts. She […]
I absolutely love how this outfit turned out for my daughter. These patterns are the Cruise and Star from Blaverry. I received these for free as part of the promotions team, but all opinions are my own. The Girl has been complaining that she didn’t have enough shorts for summer. I tend not to make […]
I just love how this top turned out! As part of the Blaverry promotions team, I received this pattern, which is the Yves top/tunic/dress. It is a reversible woven top with shirring and ruching with ribbon or bias at the shoulder. I made a size 7W and 14L top. It also come in tunic and […]
Here is the outfit that I posted over on Craftingcon.com for their wearable Steampunk challenge. I thought I had already put it up over here, but guess not! I ended up using some pieces that I had previously made this year, along with some new multi-purpose pieces. The first piece in her outfit is a […]

Another spring…another cosplay. Today I am showing the pants and top for the Ciri cosplay. This is Ciri from The Witcher 3. She is a warrior. She wears a lot of leather. To start I made her pants out of a faux leather apparel fabric. They are supposed to be leather and are cut in […]
I knew that my daughter wanted to be Ciri for many, many months, but I was stumped on how to make a few of the items. The metal belt that Ciri wears is one of them. I wasn’t sure how I would make it so that all of the pieces were the same. I knew […]
Time to get some summer sewing done, right? Well, I actually made these a few months ago, but she finally wore them this week when we were hit with a warm spell. She told me that she couldn’t wear jean shorts to school anymore. The hell? I looked up the online dress code and it […]
In many female cosplay costumes, a corset is a integral part of the costume. There are a lot of “period” (however fictitious the period may be) costumes, where corsets are the norm for the female characters. Ciri’s corset is more of a protection. It is made of leather. From the pictures, it doesn’t appear to […]
There is a little girl, who I have known since birth, that requested a dance costume from me. You see, last year when she chose her individual costume for her dance performance, she got it from a catalog. *shocked gasp* An entire team had also chosen that dance outfit for their performance, so needless to […]
