The weather has warmed up to beautiful spring temperatures here in New Orleans, but I have a winter-worthy basic to show you today! It’s the McCall’s 6796 sweater! I’ve made it 3 times before (1, 2, and 3) so I guess you could say this is my go-to long-sleeved pattern. This is the first time… Continue reading My Fourth McCall's 6796
Every day at work, I fantasize what it would be like to be a housewife. I would gladly trade answering hundreds of questions, writing evaluations, and waking up early for cleaning, cooking, and sewing. I know most women out there would cringe to hear this (Girl power! Women must make their own living!!), but just… Continue reading The 1950’s House Wife Dress, AKA McCall’s M6696
Speaking of migraines, happy Monday, everyone! As you can tell, I made a skirt! I then wore it to work where a coworker told me it reminded her of how things look when you have a migraine…. uh, thanks? I thought it was a fun “tribal/ethnic” print (per the shop’s website), but hey, I’ll go… Continue reading The Migraine-Simulation Skirt
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)
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
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
How’s everyone settling into the new year? I hope it’s going well for all of you! I’d hate to say it, but mine has been… well… let’s just say I’m looking forward to 2016. I haven’t been sewing too much lately because 2015 has thrown a few kinks my way, so bear with me and… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: A Winter Maxi Dress
So I know in most of my summer posts, I complain about the heat. Now’s your chance to hear me complain about the cold! Winter finally settled in and believe it or not, we actually had snow for New Years! DD and I went to bed before midnight on New Year’s Eve because we’re such… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Sewing a Sweater
The weather has been in the 70’s here in Tucson, AZ lately so I guess that means it’s ummm…winter? We had a very mild winter last year and it looks like the same will happen again this year. Sorry for all of you who are suffering through the Polar Vortex yet again while we have… Continue reading Arizona Summer (Winter?!) Dress
Trends. There are some trends that I won’t touch with a 10-foot pole (sorry, Peter-Pan collars) and there are some that I’ll jump all over. When the song, “What Does the Fox Say?” came out, foxes instantaneously became trendy. Unfortunately, I’m not a huge fan of the song, but I am grateful that a cute… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: What Does the Dress Say?
