An Orange Liberty Moneta
Hello there, friends! It’s no secret that I LOVE the Colette Moneta. I never liked knit dresses nor would I have ever thought that I would until the Moneta came around. It’s easy and quick to make and super comfy to wear. It’s a go to everyday dress for me that I love to […]
A 1950’s Embroidered Peasant Dress
Yay! After over a year from planning to finishing — I’m finally done with this dress! This dress was in my mind long before I found my vintage pattern. I’ve been in love with 1950’s peasant dresses for a long time and now I have one perfectly suited for ME. It’s like a dream that […]
A Green Bonnie Sweater + a Pindot Skirt
Hello, friends! Fall arrived in my neck o’ the woods and I’m starting to think more about sewing with sweater knits and wool fabrics. A storm rolled through here on Halloween leaving us some snow in the high country and very much needed rain to the drought stricken foothills where I live. Today, I […]
A Silk Geometry Top + Denim Clovers
Well, hello there friends! This is something quite a bit different for me — jeans! Yeah, I really went out of my comfort zone with these as I very rarely wear any pants or jeans. I only have a few pairs of jeans in my closet and I’m in dresses and skirts 99.9% of the […]

The Dracula Dress [Butterick 5982]
Hello friends! Just in time for Halloween is my new Dracula dress! I am a huge classic film buff, with my favorites being from the 20’s and 30’s.

BurdaStyle Plus Size Blog Tour: A Rayon Challis Tunic Dress
Hey there, friends! I’m the next stop on the BurdaStyle Plus Size Blog Tour! This dress is truly a different style for me. It has kind of a 1970’s vibe and felt a bit strange to put on as I’m not used to a loose-fitting garment. I thought it would be good for me to […]
