Flashback Friday is here, but with a twist. 😉 Recently, a friend contacted me asking me to help her with a very special project. She sent me a picture and asked if I could recreate the dress so she could pose as her younger self. The original picture was taken in Hungary at Aquincum ruins of … More Flashback Friday
It was a long weekend in Toronto this past weekend and that meant I got some sewing in! I made two dresses that are perfect for the summer! The first one is a lengthened version of Cashmerette’s Concord t-shirt. Jenny posted a tutorial on making the top into a dress and I couldn’t resist after … More Jellyfish and Flamingos!
This post is ridiculously long overdue. I held it up because I wanted to take “proper” photos, but the reality of that happening at this point is very low. I will be making “proper” photos in the future for other versions, though. I started my Style Arc Misty Jeans pretty close to the deadline for … More Style Arc Misty Jeans
Disclaimer: there is swearing in this post. I sort of knew going into this project that it might fail horribly. I have huge boobs, after all, and the phrase “lounge bra” as Seamwork calls it doesn’t really fit with huge boobs, even if my measurements are within the pattern’s specifications. I wanted to try it … More Seamwork’s Florence Lounge Bra
Along with fall starting, I got a lovely cold/flu thing and have been existing on the couch or next to the stove as I wait for my tea. I have a trail of kleenex and bottles of cold fx everywhere between the couch and the kitchen. This is the current state of me: I sip … More Fall Moneta
I originally started this post in draft over the weekend and in the meantime I found The Creative Perfectionist from browsing around other people’s blogs and their favourites on bloglovin’ (yes, I am a stalker). I follow a ton of blogs on there and apparently never have enough to read. I love the categories that Sarah put … More Fall Sewing Plans
I’m on staycation this week and am having a stashcation! What’s a stashcation? Basically, you take this: And plan this: And then sew, sew, sew. There are 20 garments planned here. I know I won’t get them all done within my staycation, but the idea is to go through your stash and plan your next … More Stashcation: Colette’s Myrtle & A Giveaway at Born to Reign Athletics
Some things just come together so well for a make that it seems like fate. It might be for this dress. My journey with this dress started with my first trip to a thrift store for fabric. I had never shopped in a thrift store before, but wanted to try it. I’ve heard great things … More Andie L in GoldMoneta
My plan was to wait and take better pictures of my Moneta, but sadly that just isn’t going to happen. I’ve been sick with a cold for a couple of weeks now and allergy season has begun. I will work on better pictures in the future. I made this two weeks ago before I got … More Colourblocked Colette’s Moneta
