Hi, y’all! I’m back from my vacation to Orlando, Florida… and let me tell you, after going back to work for a week, I’m ready to escape to Orlando again. I miss my happy place! DD and I went to Universal Studios to check out the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley and… Continue reading My Sort-Of Me-Made Vacation
Hi-low hem dress. Mullet Dress. Tomato. Tomah-to. I’m not sure how the rest of the world feels about this trend, but I flippin’ love it. I don’t know if it’s because asymmetry is fun or I like the idea of a butt flap. Either way, I knew I was destined to make and rock the… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: The Best Mullet Dress (of DOOM)
Ah, the Hunger Games. A great movie series, although not quite original (check out Kinji Fukasaku’s film Battle Royale for some REAL fun… and over-exaggerated acting). So what’s better than seeing children and teenagers fight each other to the death? Sewing, perhaps? Once people saw Katniss’ different, funky, yet super-cute weird cowl half-sweater thing during… Continue reading Hunger Games: The Katniss Cowl
I’ve been on many business trips over the past 5 months with last week’s trip being the last for a while. Thank gawd. While I enjoy a chance to get out of the office, it would have been better to spread them out a bit. C’est la vie. For this Throwback Thursday post, I’m gonna… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: The “Don’t Hire Me” Suit
Spring is in the air, and what better way to welcome it than another maxi dress? I swear I should be the poster-child for McCall’s maxi dress pattern – this is my third! However, I decided to shake things up a bit and Frankenpattern this one. I find the second maxi dress I made from… Continue reading Peacock Maxi Dress
I’ve had a few recent makes where I chose the wrong size – too large. Well, my friends, I swung completely the opposite way and made something too small. *Sigh* I feel like I’m having some Goldilocks moments with woven fabrics. Maybe one day I can get it just right. The pattern is Vogue 1387,… Continue reading The Vogue Shirt of Doom!
Woohoo, it’s Thursday, people! Today is technically my Friday (hooray for compressed work schedules!), so BOOYA. There’s nothing better than knowing a three-day weekend is coming up! Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be getting much sewing done since I have lots to do before yet another work trip next week. BUT the good news is… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: A Purple Plantain
Another weekend over, another work week starting. Oh, Monday, why must you come so soon? So since I have a case of the Mondays, I’ll start with some sad news – but don’t worry, there’s a new sewing project ahead! Just bear with me. A week and a half ago, we had to give away… Continue reading Royal Winter Top
I was see-sawing between two themes for this week: matching makes (the PJs mentioned in the last post) or things I’ve made for my mom. I think the matching pajamas would have been funnier, but I need to take better pictures of them and Sooo let’s talk about some fun and easy gifts you can… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: More Gifts for Mom
I’m one of those people who aren’t embarrassed when they see someone else wearing the same dress/shirt/shoes as them. Actually, I find it very amusing and have made sure that DD and I have had matching me-made pajama pants… twice. But I won’t bore you with plain ol’ pajama bottoms on this fancy schmancy blog.… Continue reading A Renfrew for Mom
