Hey, finally went into my sewing room! As I spend the majority of my day sitting in our home office, with an occasional Zoom meeting and a noon walk around a neighborhood lake, I wanted something comfy and nice looking. The skort pattern is my old standby that I drafted several years ago. I can […]
Like so many others, once we were given the “go ahead” to sew masks due to the shortage of surgical masks…I dug in. I really didn’t have the supplies for prolonged mask making, and, oh yeah, I have a full time job still. There are some glorious ladies that are working their fingers to the […]
Awhile back I came across this picture, or a derivation of it, on Pinterest: There are quite a few pictures of it now, some as low as $20 for the knock off copy of the original one. This is one of those instances where you could definitely buy it for less, but I’m sure the […]
You know, making something creative and difficult is both enthralling and frustrating at the same time. It is nice to just make a simple top sometimes. This is my pattern mash up of the Sneha top (Wardrobe by Me) with the Sophia top (Bella Sunshine Designs). It is a loose knit tunic from a rayon/spandex […]
I go between wanting a big purse and NOT wanting a big purse, but alas…my life needs a big purse. During the week I tend to bring work home with me at times with the best of intentions (spoiler: it rarely leaves my purse). On the weekends I generally have a tournament or two that […]
I must admit…I love a good long cardigan. It offers nice bottom coverage and tends to be a bit warmer in the winter. This fabric was a bit thin, but we are in a warm streak here at above 25 degrees F. It had plenty of warmth for the mild winter temperatures. The pattern draft […]
Gonna be perfectly honest. Not much got done in the last few months. Just treading water over here, which is why I didn’t get this post up from September onward. Here is my review of my goals for the last few months and year end, and just basically a “what’s up!” post. Work is getting […]
Well it was record cold for this time of year, so warmth was what I was looking for. I also had a hard time bending my thumb without ripping out the healing that was going on, so putting on tights was a struggle! I opted for simpler things to wear earlier in the week while […]
This is another pattern hack from the Wardrobe by Me Basic Builder Top. I originally did this hack a few summers ago and made it a summer dress with a keyhole neckline and bands on the sleeves to make it sleeveless. This iteration of the dress is making it long sleeved and using the funnel […]
It is starting to turn pretty chilly now, and we need to make sure to dress for those freezing temps. I also got a new office this week, so no longer in my cozy little cube. It is a bit colder in there, so I need to dress appropriately. Monday, November 4: Dress – New […]
