As part of my #makenine for 2019, I put a pair of moto looking leggings on it. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided that I would change it up to be more pants similar to the ones I made last fall for my Warrior outfit. These were self-drafted and require some different […]

A Sherpa jacket
By Stacy on April 22, 2019I’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 […]
Wear-all-the-blacks weekend wardrobe capsule
By Stacy on April 19, 2019When 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 […]
Fall staples – the tunic top
By Stacy on November 8, 2018I made a few tops for fall that I knew would get used in heavy rotation. I was missing some basic layering tops, and that was just silly. I have plenty of fabric…hello! I like to have longer tops to go with my leggings for booty coverage. For all of these I used the Sneha […]
Fall staples – the black cardigan
By Stacy on October 24, 2018I do tend to fall back on styles that I really like to wear a lot. Right now I am working from home, so comfort is key! I am trying to be better about not looking like a total slob, but sometimes the effort is tough. It is easy when I have comfortable pieces to […]
Summer capsule – addendum
By Stacy on September 18, 2018I thought I would do a blog post on the status of my summer capsule. I wore it a lot more this summer, as I was working from home, so it was more practical to wear my comfy clothes than office wear. One of the perks of working from home! In the spring of 2017 […]

#MakeNine Challenge – Ponte and Pleather skirt
By Stacy on January 31, 2018I 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 […]
This week was more sporadic. I had Monday off of work, so I spent the day sewing and didn’t take a shower until right before I went to bed. I was also sick all damn week. I got a head cold the weekend before and dang if it didn’t hang on with big hairy paws. […]
Well last week was a bit of a bear. I worked until 7pm each night, and worked most of the day on Sunday. By the time Monday rolled around again…I was very tired. Luckily I had a bunch of outfits made up in my closet, so it was a bit brainless just to pick something […]
