Hi everyone! I recently redid my website. It’s not 100% finished but getting there and unless you look back in my archives, you can’t really tell the unfinished bits. When I went through all my past posts, it turns out that I didn’t share everything I made in 2019. I know it’s February now but … More Round up of unposted projects from 2019
When you are fat, all those suggestions for using smaller bits of fabric don’t really work the same way. You need far more fabric than people in smaller sizes so when you are looking up “what to make with less than a yard of fabric?” on google, the suggestions are a bit disheartening and frustrating … More Scrapbusting with the Concord T shirt
Recently, I made two pieces for two different costumes. I will eventually share those costumes with you, but I decided to share the two pieces together. It looks a bit like an outfit worn by a member of the Newsies cast. I just need suspenders and a pageboy hat. Now if only I could … More Pageboy Outfit Plus a Cashmerette Harrison
It’s been a while since I posted. I’ve been busy with a lot of pattern testing that I can’t share yet and a costume project that I can share, but didn’t take many pictures of, and a few other smaller projects one of which I will share in a different post. For the costume project, … More While I’ve been gone
January sort of flew by without much fanfare. It’s normally a busy month and this January was no exception. However, on top of being busy, I was also dealing with an increasingly worse cough. Since November, it has been getting worse and worse. I’ve had it since November 2016. For anyone who has had a … More January Reflections
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
For the final challenge for Indie Pattern Month at the Monthly Stitch, I shared 8 garments that I made in July! The challenge was called Indie Royalty and involved making 2 or more garments. I guess I am just an over-achiever. Originally, I planned to make two for the other challenges but I never got … More An Accidental Capsule Wardrobe
Luckily, I was not absent from blogging due to illness, but due to summer being busy and fun so far! My main source of enjoyment has been my garden. https://www.instagram.com/p/BVX7DhkhBcr/?taken-by=sewprettyinpink https://www.instagram.com/p/BVVfybUhgb4/?taken-by=sewprettyinpink And my plants https://www.instagram.com/p/BVKoAXshGqx/?taken-by=sewprettyinpink I haven’t taken a recent picture of my garden. The tomato plants have grown to be 3 feet tall! The … More SMH It’s been a while…
I got back to sewing in December and made a bunch of presents for people for Christmas. I did manage to make one thing for myself before the year ended, but I will post about that another day. My mom got a dark purple bamboo knit Cashmerette Concord T: I made her one for her … More Handmade Christmas 2016
Today I share with you my Made with Moxie Prefontaine shorts. I made them before my Upton maxi dress, but they have been constantly worn since. There are a few patterns like this one out there, but for some reason, these struck me as the ones for me. If you are looking for a similar … More Made with Moxie Prefontaine Shorts
