I’ve been sick for a few days now with some sort of cold flu apocalypse plague-like thing. I woke up this morning and got dressed and put make up on and went into work. Then my boss told me to go home, because I was too sick. I headed home and got tons more kleenex … More Simplicity 1812 top and Cake Pavlova Skirt
I’ve been hard at work sewing lately and instagramming the #bpsewvember photo-a-day challenge. Phew. Busy, busy. First up is a skirt I made in about an hour for my halloween costume. A black circle skirt for a skeleton costume. You can’t really see it there, but I made some pretty horrid mistakes when I put … More Cardigans and Skirts, Oh my!
Oh how I love circle skirts. I’ve made the Pavlova skirt and refashioned a UFO into a circle skirt recently. I haven’t been wearing skirts over the past couple of years, but since making the Pavlova, I’ve caught a bug for high-waisted circle skirts. This one is a wrap skirt that I upcycled from my first … More Upcycled: Circle Skirt Mania
Oh my, where has the time gone? I’ve been sewing a lot, but with no time to take pictures (ahem…make ask my boyfriend politely to take pictures). I did the old selfie thing so that I could stop feeling guilty and could post about the project I am currently working on. Paris The above is … More Paris, Cake, A UFO, and Andreas
Phew. I’ve been a busy bee and haven’t had the time to post my #MMMay18 round up until now. Yikes! Me-Made-May was a success this year! I pledged to wear at least 3 me-made garments every day. I managed to take outfit posts every day even if a couple are of hanging garments. My undergarments … More Me-Made-May 2018 Round up
First off, thank you for the wonderful comments and messages on all my social media formats on my last post. Your support means so much to me and helps life me up on bad days. I cannot thank you enough for both reading my posts on chronic illness and responding to them. Even a “like” … More Pattern Hacking Smorgasbord
I cannot believe it’s almost time for Me-Made-May’16. I feel like this year has flown by like crazy! In the past year my handmade wardrobe has expanded like crazy. I almost have no RTW garments left in my closet. Last year, I accomplished my goal of wearing at least one handmade garment a day. This … More Me-Made-May 2016 and Progress Report
I haven’t done a planning post in a while, because lately my plans have gone awry. The last time I planned was in my Sewing Blahs post and even with three things I didn’t achieve them at all. I made a M6754, but it wasn’t even the one I planned at all because of raglan … More Honeymoon Wardrobe Planning
I was only going to post one round-up post at the end of the month, but then I figured that would be too much work at once. I’m also showing you previews of some of the things I’ve made this month so far. Day One: I wore my M6503 Star Trek dress. I saw … More Halfway through Me-Made-May Round-up
I have a weird relationship with planning sewing. I love planning stuff out, but I hate being confined to the plans. So I am calling these “loosey goosey” plans because I don’t want to feel confined to them. I want them to inspire me but not restrict me. I’m going to talk categories, because Me-Made-May … More Some Loosey Goosey Summer Sewing plans
