I made this top last Friday night. It is made from FreeSpirit’s Van Gogh line of prints and I just love the colors in this fabric. I even painted my nails lavender to match one of the many colors in it. The reason for the top, was that I was going to my 20th high […]
Category: Stuff I made
I seem to have a theme going on lately of wearing a lot of black and white. I guess it is really easy to match things up. What makes it easier is when you wear a dress, as you only need to match your shoes! I made this dress a good 4 years ago, I […]
This was my Saturday morning garb. Comfy knit top and jersey skirt to run to gymnastics, get gas, mail something and then back home to laze about the rest of the day. A wonderful Saturday of not doing much. We don’t have many of those days anymore and they are nice when we get them. […]
These shoes are a bit much, so when I tell you that I purchased them in Vegas I know you will not be shocked. When I saw them in the window they just called to me. The wedge heel is like a little piece of artwork and has some rhinestones in it, too. […]
It was a fine morning to sashay through the garden. Too bad I had to go straight to work! It would have been nice to just sit on the deck and enjoy a cup of coffee. Instead I had to hurry up my two little ones and get them off to school. This is another […]
This is almost a maxi dress…because, well…it isn’t a dress. I made the top and bottom separately on this so I can mix or match. I won the fabric from an online message board and it traveled all the way from Germany to land in my little sewing room. Hopefully, I treated it well. I […]

Almost summer and that image in the mirror
By Stacy on May 26, 2012I have committed a fashion faux pas, apparently. White jeans before Memorial Day. Is that even a current faux pas? If people can wear pajama pants to the grocery store, you would think I could wear white jeans before Memorial Day. These jeans are another CAbi purchase. When I got them, they were pretty snug, […]
I love this dress. It probably helps that I made this dress. It is comfy jersey with a bit of cool with the appliqué back that has some venting for those hot summer days…where I will be sitting on the deck…with my wine. That’s my plan. Dress: made by me Earrings: Silpada Necklace: Claire’s (many […]
As I was taking the pictures for this outfit, I was a bit struck at how it looked like I was trying a costume on from an earlier era. Oh well. These pieces will be fine in more modern outfits, too. I think the shirt will be great with some skinny blue jeans and […]
One thing with making your own clothes, is that sometimes things just don’t work out. This skirt is one of them. I have remade it FOUR TIMES. I think I finally got a flattering silhouette on it this time. The fabric is a very textural stretch poly that I rather like, so it was worth […]
