For lots of years I've had more of a minimalist attitude toward those items that get only a couple uses in a year. When space is limited, why keep a Christmas sweater in my closet only to be pulled out once or twice in December? For me, it's mostly been a space issue. We don't … Continue reading Holiday Mave Skirt
'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
