'Tis the season for sweaters, so I made a couple. And I've gotta say that I really love how they both turned out! No new concepts here and I used some very nice fabrics so, all in all, it was an easy win! First I made this blue sweater to test out my pattern hacking … Continue reading A Couple Sweatshirts (Union St. Tee Sweatshirt Hack)
Officially: I love this dress! This is the Davenport Dress by Friday Pattern Company. It is not a new pattern but one that was somehow lost to my knowledge until this last summer. When I unearthed it under someone else's layers of blog posts, I really liked it. And then the more iterations I saw, … Continue reading A Davenport Dress in Liberty London
I recognize this might not be the most exciting post but I don't care! I'm excited about it and I guess that's what matters since it's my blog haha. I rubbed off my very favorite RTW tee shirt and it turned out near perfectly! I know, I know! It's a tee shirt! Big whoop! But … Continue reading Rubbing Off My Favorite Tee
This is my first time making this pattern but I can tell you with full confidence that I will be making it again and again. It is a gem of a pattern! I've taken to asking, "Will it Mave?" to any fabric I come across and I'd say most of the time the answer is, … Continue reading A Mave Skirt
I allllmost made this dress in the spring which would have lined up fabric to season pretty well. But then I didn't. And I just got around to realizing that that was a pretty silly choice, so in an effort to rectify my misguidedness, I decided to go forth and make! I got going on … Continue reading New Look 6651: Casual Shirtdress
Sorry for all the bottoms posts but that's what I've been seriously lacking in my wardrobe and as a result what I've been focusing on in my sewing lately. Pants and shorts all up in here. Maybe someday we'll return to other items...maybe. I was really wanting some shorts that fit into the magical realm … Continue reading Deer and Doe Goji Shorts…but Knee Length
If I had known that happiness could be attained in less than two hours, I would've made these shorts a lot sooner! As summer approached I took stock of my warm weather clothes-the ones that actually fit, mind you-and was sorely disappointed at my bottom half options. I had a pair or two of fitting … Continue reading Biker Short Leggings
I made these pants at least two months ago and I told myself that I wasn't going to post about them until I'd worn them properly. But guess what? I still haven't worn them! So maybe a post on them will give me the little nudge I need to get these on my lower half … Continue reading Style Arc Tully Pants
Hi guys! I'm still here! Ha! I've slowly been learning that I am no longer capable of doing ALL THE THINGS! I can do some of the things. Sometimes. And, honestly, sometimes not (lots of the time not, even!). But I'm still (slowly) making and as long I'm making, I suspect I'll have a desire … Continue reading Ice Dye Lounge Set
As easy as it is to just get excited about sewing stuff for me and the gals, I've never wanted to exclude Ben in the Easter Outfit Fun, so, since that first year of Easter outfits, I've made him a tie! Yeah, it's pretty basic but it's not like there's a bunch of different items … Continue reading Ben’s Easter Ties
