You may have noticed that this post’s heading is slightly different than usual…. That’s right folks, it’s time to show you my Sew Dolly Clackett dress! If you haven’t heard, this a contest to celebrate Roisin’s (Dolly Clackett) awesome style in celebration of her upcoming nuptials. As with all things lately, I was a wee […]
Curvy Colette: A Tale of Two Monetas
Well hello there folks! As the next stop on the Colette plus size blog tour, I have not one, but TWO Monetas to share with you! My first Moneta is version 1 with the collar and sleeveless bodice. I made this dress out of an aubergine viscose/lycra ponte knit that I picked up at Britex […]
Exciting News! Curvy Colette: A Plus Size Blog Tour!
Have you heard? I’ve been waiting with bated breath for Colette Patterns to release their new knit patterns (and their new book!) which go up into the plus size range. It’s been difficult to keep this news to myself and to have to wait to share it with all of you. This is the first […]
Announcing the Curvy Sewing Collective!
Hello friends! I’m proud to announce my participation in a new online sewing community: The Curvy Sewing Collective! This group was the brainchild of Jenny (Cashmerette) and Mary (Idle Fancy) for plus size sewists. Many of us have had to learn the hard way how to grade up patterns, how to find styles that are […]
Sewing Double: Navy Sateen Necklace Dress
Well, I went and did it again! I made another Butterick 5982! And since this dress fit in with The Monthly Stitch April challenge, I really kinda feel like a bad ass to tell ya the truth. It’s like finishing up my Master’s thesis long before the deadline. 🙂 So, I know that this is […]
The Mad Men Challenge: A Floral Mid-Century Shirtwaist Dress
The Mad Men Challenge is once again upon us and I just barely got my dress in at the last minute! This is the third go-round for Julia Bobbin’s Mad Men Dress Challenge. I almost wasn’t going to participate as I was on a sewing hiatus when she announced this year’s sewing challenge. But….. I […]
Do you like to sew for others?
If you sew and other people know that you sew, I’m sure you get asked to sew up stuff for them. I LOVE TO SEW …. but not generally for other people…. I do not buy my clothing anymore (with the exception of lingerie, etc) and I sew my own wardrobe. I am not […]
My Miss Bossy Dress: A Black & Red Silk/Cotton Tracy Reese
Woohoo! I finished another dress! This dress was a reader’s pick for The Monthly Stitch March Challenge. The pattern I used is Vogue 1086, an OOP dress pattern designed by Tracy Reese. I used a J Crew black/grey/red silk/cotton voile from Fabric Mart which was a Julie’s Picks Club selection last year. It is underlined […]
Wearin’ O’ the Green
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! What a good day to share this kelly green outfit that I made! And in case you didn’t know — my favorite color is green! 🙂 I actually made this outfit in December, but didn’t get around to taking photos of it until now. I bought some shirtings and bottom weight […]
Miss Bossy Pattern Winner & the Liebster Award!
And we have a winner! The Vogue 1086 paired with the black/red J Crew silk/cotton voile! This was part of The Monthly Stitch March challenge. I have missed a few challenges, but am happy to get started again! I have already purchased my batiste linings for both the Tracy Reese dress and the […]
A Mint Green Eyelet Dress
Yes, I made another dress! This dress is another version of Butterick 5982. I made view A this time with the sleeveless boatneck bodice and pleated and gathered skirt (my first version was view C). I used a mint green basketweave cotton eyelet for this dress which I purchased from Fabric.com. They described it as […]
The Lady in the Red Linen Dress
At last! A “me made” garment post!! Yay!! 🙂 This was the first dress that I made following my sewing hiatus. I put this dress together from cutting to hemming in one day — or about 6-7 hours or so. The only thing that I didn’t finish on it was the belt, but honestly, I’m happy […]
Sewing Clearly Again & Miss Bossy Pattern Poll
Hello fellow sewists and friends! If you may have noticed, I’ve been absent from the sewing blogosphere for a little while. I’ve been dealing with my degenerative eye disease (keratoconus) which put me in a bit of sewing funk. After three doctors, many appointments and six months of waiting — I CAN NOW SEE!!!!! I […]
Sewing into 2014
Hello friends! I hope that all of you enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. 🙂 I have been quite busy with all the trimmings that the holidays bring. It seems that I cooked and baked for two weeks straight! I made several Christmas presents and tried to finish up my knitting gifts to no avail. The […]

Although I have had this dress made for a couple of weeks now and have worn it and washed it a few times already, I am just now getting photos and blogging about it! I actually have a few things made to photograph as well….. ahhh, the holidays! 🙂 This the Tiramisu knit dress pattern […]
