My health is still pretty tenuous so these catch up blogs aren’t moving as swiftly as I hoped. I decided to combine a few of them and all of these ones are in the some shade of purple fabric so I figured, Hey Purple party! LOL. Seamwork Brit (Bonus) This one is my second time … More Purple Party
I’ve been waiting to share this one with you since I tested it. I love the Cashmerette Alcott dress. Obviously, there are disclaimers aplenty in this post since I received the pattern for free in exchange for testing and I got fabric for free in exchange for promotion, but my enthusiasm and love of these … More Introducing the Cashmerette Alcott dress
Disclaimer: I received this pattern for free in exchange for testing, but my opinions can’t be bought by patterns alone. I require cheese (preferably lactose free) and probably a good amount of tequila and cold hard cash. Feel free to send me that. I tested the Cashmerette Holyoke dress ages ago and then left it unhemmed … More Cashmerette Holyoke Dress
Today I am sharing two garments I made back in March… One of the items was waiting on a repair before I could take pictures. I’ll talk about that a bit later. Both garments are made using the Cashemerette Cedar Dolman as the starting pattern. I really love this pattern for its versatility. It’s a … More Cashmerette Cedar Dolman: Pattern Hacks
Miss Bossy said make McCall’s 7624 so I made it! You know, I never was one for being ordered around and told what to do. I can get really stubborn and dig my heels in before I listen to someone tell me what to do. But occasionally, I listen to and follow orders. When it … More Miss Bossy said McCall’s 7624…so I delivered…
Simplicity patterns haven’t been widely available in Canada since the distributer issues years ago. Fabricland (Canada’s chain fabric store) stopped carrying them and even smaller independent fabric stores don’t carry them. Jen from a Maker Heart saw me lamenting about that and offered to send me a bunch on the next Joann’s sale. Tanya has … More Simplicity 8140
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
The Turner dress was the last garment I made in 2016 and the first refashion I did in 2017! Haha. I’ll get to why I refashioned it later in the post. All of the pictures in this post are mirror selfies fyi, because it’s cold outside and I am in hibernation mode so the fact … More Cashmerette Turner Dress for the Holidays
Disclaimer: I received the Auberley dress pattern in exchange for testing. All my opinions and cheese are my own. Stay away from my cheese. I do pattern testing already for Muse Patterns and Cashmerette Patterns. Both are run by sewing friends who I adore. I was pretty sure for a while that I wouldn’t do … More Introducing Blank Slate Pattern’s Auberley dress
This dress took me a year to finish. Last year, I was shopping with two friends for fabric and splurged on a lovely apple fabric. It was a super soft stretch sateen. I’m not sure of the fiber content, but I would guess cotton. What I adored about the fabric was that the apples were … More Apples to apples: M6887
