Hello, friends! I’m so excited to share this dress! I’ve been wanting a lemon print dress for AGES and until recently, I haven’t seen many fabrics that I’ve liked with lemons on them. I wanted a lemon fabric with a white background and as I have slight obsession with 1950’s Horrockses dresses, I decided that […]
Buttons & Bows and PB&J’s for Me-Made May
Hello, friends! It’s been a bit longer than I planned since my last post. I’ve been sewing quite a bit, I just haven’t had any photos taken to share with you. Now I have plenty, so there are some upcoming posts in the works that I’m looking forward to sharing with you. This project is […]
A Parisian Cambie
Bonjour, friends! I’m excited to share my latest favorite dress with you! This one turned out exactly as I had envisioned and I’ve already worn it twice since I made it. I shared my plans for this in a previous post. My inspiration was a Modcloth dress, that I loved when I saw it, so […]

A Breton Stripe Concord Tee + Misty Jeans [+ a GIVEAWAY!]
Ohmygosh! I’m wearing something other than a dress or a skirt!! Yes, friends. I do occasionally wear pants, although this was my first try at sewing jeans. Proper jeans. Well…. almost. I suppose I should begin with the newly released Cashmerette Concord T-Shirt and work my way down my outfit to my jeans, so more on those […]
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 […]
A White Denim Three’s A Charm Jacket
Hello, friends! It’s another Decades Everyday Three’s A Charm Jacket! This time, I’ve made one that can be worn with so many different things, which I expect to be a wardrobe workhorse. Ever since I received the Three’s a Charm pattern, I’ve had fabrics set aside to make it. But as I looked at my […]
The Tangerine Dorothy Lara Dress
Good morning, friends! I’m super excited to share this dress with you! It’s a continuation of my foray into 1940’s styles, this time another Decades of Style 1940’s Dorothy Lara Dress. This is the second time I’ve made this dress. The first one was in silk and this version is in silk cotton. It’s made […]
Fabric Shopping in the San Francisco Bay Area
Hello there! I’m excited to share my favorite fabric stores that I frequent in the SF Bay Area. This is a list that I wish I had when I began venturing beyond my local chain stores and shopping for fabric at independent brick and mortar stores within an easy driving distance from me. No, we […]
A Liberty Yaletown Dress
Welcome, friends! I’m so happy to share this dress with you! Recently I had the opportunity to review a pattern and accompanying fabric from the Craftsy supply store. To be honest, I was aware that Craftsy had fabrics, but I never spent the time to peruse the site. Boy, was I missing out! Craftsy has […]
A Green Tartan Shirtdress [McCall’s 6696]
Good morning, friends! I’m super happy to finally share this dress with you! This is actually my Christmas dress. Yes, it’s March and I’m just now sharing it with you. To be honest, it’s been sitting in my sewing room since I wore it (and then laundered it) on Christmas. My reason for not wearing […]

Hello, friends! I’m excited to share this dress! It’s not another UFO project, but it is one that I’ve been planning to make for about two winters now. Eeeek! It’s done! And just in time for it to be too warm for me to want to wear it! This is the Colette Hawthorn. I’ve made […]
Dress Inspiration from Ready-to-Wear
Hello there, friends! I don’t often shop for clothing, which is pretty obvious by this blog. When I do, it’s usually just for undergarments or leggings and maybe a few cardigans here and there. And yes, shoes. I do spend quite a lot of time looking at shoes….. However, I get really inspired by dresses that are […]
The “Frida Does the 1940’s” Outfit
Hola, Amigas! I started this outfit last summer and ta-da! It’s done 8 months later! As I continue delving into my UFO sewing collection, this one is the latest to become a wearable garment, or in this case — an outfit! I used Simplicity 1261, a vintage peasant blouse and skirt pattern from the 1940’s. […]

Hello there, friends! It’s Lingerie Month over at the Curvy Sewing Collective and I’m happy to report that I have finally delved into the art of bra-making! I’ve been interested in sewing my own bra for a few years now, and I have had a bra pattern and two kits to try my hand at […]
