Hello friends! *Portions of this post originally appeared on the Cali Fabrics blog* I absolutely LOVE using heirloom techniques to add interesting details to everyday clothing. Yes, they take extra time, but they really add that extra little bit of casual couture that makes your clothing stand out. For this dress, I used my TNT […]

A Pink Gingham ESP Dress
Hi there, friends! All the gingham. All the time. And all the ESP dresses. 🙂 Yes, it’s another ESP dress and another gingham dress. But I don’t have a pink gingham one and I’m currently swooning over these large checked ginghams. I really cannot get enough. As I’ve stated in a previous post, I’m really […]
The TARDIS ESP Dress
Allons-y, Whovians! Or non-Whovians as it may be! Yep, it’s another Decades Everyday ESP Dress! This is definitely my go-to pattern when it comes to my TNT patterns. It’s a quick and easy dress to make, that you can truly go from cutting to wearing in a day. BTW, this pattern is now available in PDF […]
The Succulence ESP Dress
Howdy, friends! I’m so happy to share one of my favorite ESP dresses with you! It seems like it’s been hanging in my sewing room for so long that I haven’t had a chance to parade around in it. I actually have yet another ESP dress to share with you soon as I get to […]
The Brachycephalic ESP Dress
Oh, no, not another ESP dress! Yep…. I’m stuck in a rut, but a glorious rut it is… one where I can sew a dress in a day of any novelty fabric that I fancy. No. I can’t get enough of this dress! Yes, my friends, my fourth Decades Everyday ESP Dress. No difference here, really, […]
The Wild West ESP Dress
Howdy, Friends! Yep, it’s another ESP dress! I’m a bit addicted to this pattern at the moment and as it’s super fast to make, I got inspired and made another! Georgina posted this photo on Instagram the other day from Emily and Fin and I just had to have one similar. In fact, I went […]
The Poppy ESP Dress
Hey there, friends! It sure feels like spring around these parts! Quite apropos for this dress, me thinks! This is one of the fabrics that came before the pattern. (You know — “what came first, the fabric or the pattern?”). This large scale print needed a pattern as wonderful as it is to […]
Dress Like Your Grandma 2 FINAL PROJECTS
Hello Everyone! It’s been quite an amazing journey for this years’ Dress Like Your Grandma challenge.

A 1930’s Floral Caped Dress
Hello lovelies! I am thrilled to share this dress with you that I made to wear to the Gatsby Summer Afternoon this year. This is actually the first 1930’s dress that I’ve made! I did make a 1930’s skirt two years ago, but that’s it for my 30’s sewing. It seems quite odd that I’ve […]
The 1920’s Mata Hari Dress
How’s tricks? 1920’s. I can’t quit you. So here’s another 20’s ensemble. 🙂 This time, it’s the Decades of Style 1920’s Tier-riffic Ensemble. I used some gorgeous hemp silk from Organic Cotton Plus, that I was given in exchange for a review. I had never sewn with hemp before and it sounded interesting and a […]
The 1950’s Robin Hood Dress
Hi friends! I’m so happy to share this dress with you! It’s a dress that I not only love immensely, but one that means an awful lot to me as the fabric is not only vintage, but it is a treasure that I recently unearthed. A couple of months ago, I started going through some […]
A Rayon Chambray Lenox Shirtdress
Howdy, friends! I sure hope you’re keeping cool (or warm) where ever you are. It’s very hot (109 F) and humid (75%) as I write this here and I sure hope it gets better soon as it’s utterly miserable here. We can take the heat and are used to it here in the Sierra foothills, […]

A Navy Organic Cotton Turner Dress
Hello friends! I hope you’re all doing well! I’m happy to be sharing my non-tester version of the Cashmerette Turner dress. I tested this pattern several months ago and made a version in some cheap grey animal print poly jersey that I had in my stash, so I won’t be sharing that. However, I’m definitely […]
A 1960’s Inspired Phoebe Shift Dress
Hello, folks! I’ve got something a little different today — a 1960’s inspired shift dress! This dress was made as part of Sew Your Hart Out September with Harts Fabric, along with Colette Patterns and Robert Kaufman fabrics. I wrote a tutorial on Harts’ site on how I made the retro button-on-belt featured on this dress. […]
The 1929 Pansy Dress
How’s tricks, dames? I’m extremely excited to fully share this year’s 1920’s dress for the Gatsby Summer Afternoon. I’ve been sharing my progress in making this dress on Instagram and it was a labor of love. The Gatsby Summer Afternoon is an Art Deco picnic held at the Dunsmuir-Hellman Mansion in Oakland, CA every September. I […]
