There are times when I am just not interested in lugging my purse around. In these moments, it is nice to have a hip bag that I can put my phone, keys, etc. into and free up my shoulder from the burden of my overstuffed purse. There are TONS of inspiration and ideas on Pinterest […]
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 […]
I seem to have a bit of an affinity for fabrics with skulls on them. Last year Twisted Needle Textiles had the perfect round for me, too! Lots of skulls, so I purchased several different fabrics in different bases and even ordered more when they had a rerun round. This fabric was from the first […]
After going to a job interview downtown, and wanting to bring my laptop over some downtime, I realized that my laptop bag had seen better days. The straps were ripping off the pleather…which happens with pleather. I decided to make myself a new laptop bag out of a white calfhide side I purchased last year […]
Wardrobe basics are such great sews, and this one I know I will get a lot of distance in wearing it. I wear a lot of black, so black layering pieces are really nice to have. This one can work for all seasons. I am wearing it under a cardigan I made, but it will […]
I have a list of things I have wanted to get sewn up over the time I am on hiatus from working (i.e. unemployed). One thing on the list was some big pillows for the 1.5 chair in the basement by the fire. It is a deep chair and really needs to have some pillows. […]
Well, its been terribly cold here in the great North. We had the coldest temperatures and wind chills in 25 years, so schools and businesses were closed. We all just hibernated and stayed inside. I sewed, of course! I received a strike-off from Sugar Ink to sew up for their latest round based on the […]
