Here is the second set of prints that I sewed up the samples for Fabric Anthropology. This one relates to Helga in the Vikings series, and is a phrase she said in show. These fabrics are French Terry. A note about printing colors. The brushed poly is a synthetic, and the colors are closer the […]
One of the reasons why I never think I can go on a RTW buying fast is that it is cold here, and you need sweaters. I don’t knit sweaters. I can do a little loom knitting, but that is the extent of my prowess with yarn. Luckily, you can find sweater knits! This is […]
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 […]
This was one of the pattern tests I did last week. I was sick all week, so not great timing on my part. I really liked this tunic, though, and the pattern has a ton of options. From George + Ginger: The RuLo Top and Dress is packed with amazing options! Choose from oversized dolman […]
This is a semi-tutorial. I got some pictures, but usually when I sit down at my machine, all thoughts of pictures go out the window as I am sewing. This shows the process moreso. The 52 Week Sewing Challenge group has for this week’s challenge Sew Something to Make Sewing Easier. This was a head […]
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 […]
Starting the blogging year off with my last strike-off of 2017, for a round opening today at Moonbeam Textiles. The round is called Fantastic Creatures and it featured this adorable coffee drinking unicorn. Luckily Kris gave us enough time to get these sewn up, as December was just crazy busy. No outside pictures of these…it […]
