Howdy friends! I’m happy to share one of my favorite projects of 2017! Yeah, I’m a bit behind on blogging, but slowly and surely I will get the projects that I’ve been making up on my blog. I completed this blouse about 3 months ago, with about a month of embroidery on it. Granted, I […]
A 1930’s Silk Velvet Dress [Simplicity 8504]
Hi Friends! I hope you had a lovely holiday season! I certainly am happy that 2017 is over and am hoping for a great 2018. Today, I’m sharing my Christmas dress. It’s definitely one of my favorites that I made last year and one that I hope to wear for years to come. This dress […]
A Green Floral 1940’s Dress [Butterick 6363]
Hi friends! I made this dress over the summer and I’m just now sharing it with you…. Better late than never! There are actually two more dresses in the queue that I also made and wore over the summer. But really, it may be fall in the northern hemisphere, but it’s been very summery here […]
An Eyelet and Entredeux ESP Dress
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 […]
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 1960’s Floral Dress [Simplicity 1059]
Hi, friends! First, I want to thank all of you for your comments on my recent post about the terrible wildfire that burned our ranch. It’s still incredibly sad to look out over the burned pastures, destroyed homes and areas resembling moonscapes in my county. So many people were displaced and are rebuilding their lives, […]
A Rainbow Seersucker Peasant Top [Scroop Henrietta Maria]
Hello friends! Surprise! It’s not a dress! 😉 I don’t often wear pants — especially in the warmer months — but I wanted a loose-fitting top to wear with jeans. Basically, I needed a blouse that looked good with skinny jeans and didn’t cling to me. I had seen the Scroop Henrietta Maria pattern a […]
Lobsters and a Flashy Monogram [Cashmerette Harrison]
Hi there, friends! Have you ever been so excited about a fabric and recreating a vintage design and then just let it sit in your fabric stash for a year? Well, I have… I had been yearning for a lobster print skirt or dress for a while and designed some fabric to make my own […]
A Chambray Isabella Dress
Hello friends! *Portions of this post originally appeared on the Cali Fabrics blog* I’ve been a fan of 1920’s fashion nearly my entire life, but it’s only been the last five or six years that I have really gotten into actually sewing and wearing styles from that era. All of my 20’s garments thus far […]
My Dress Like Your Grandma Dress [McCall’s 5864]
Well, hello there! I’m finally sharing my dress that I made for the Dress Like Your Grandma sewing challenge! I intended to share this earlier, but I got so immersed in a huge project that took me much longer than I had imagined. In fact, I was working on it up until the night before […]
A Retro Western Denim Jacket [Butterick 6390]
* Portions of this post originally appeared on the Cali & Co blog. Hi, friends! I’m excited to share this denim jacket with you! I’ve been steadily working on filling out holes in my wardrobe and a denim jacket was at the top of my list. It’s such a steady workhorse for casual looks and […]
A Black Velvet 1920’s Sugar Coat
How’s tricks, dames? After a marathon of sewing last week, I finished this fabulous 1920’s coat just in time to wear it to an event the next day. Someday I hope that I won’t be doing last minute sewing the night before. But someday has not yet come…. I wore this coat to an event […]
A 1950’s Plaid Shirtdress [Vogue 9000]
Hello, friends! I hope you’re all doing well! I’ve been sick for the first time in about three years, so I’ve been down for the count. Thankfully, I’m feeling better and have been getting my sewing and blogging on! I also have a fun announcement later this week that I’m excited to share with you. 🙂 […]
The Cherry New England Dress
Hello, friends! Do you ever have a project in mind and then you gather all of the materials to make it, but you don’t? Yeah….that’s this dress! I planned to make this last summer and never got around to it. It was on my sewing list and yet it lingered on the bottom. Of course […]
A Red Velvet Baltimore Dress
Hows tricks, dames? I’m super excited to share this dress as I’ve been keeping it a secret for a while! This is Decades of Style’s latest 1920’s dress pattern (actually one of three in their recently released collection!) — the Baltimore Dress. It has Art Deco styling with a beautifully draped center panel and is […]
1940’s Emerald Green and Tartan [Simplicity 8243]
Hello, friends! It’s that time of the year again, isn’t it? I usually sew a new Christmas dress, but this year I made separates. SEPARATES, y’all! Both of these items coincide with some sewing goals I have for myself. The first is Shirtmaking Month that we’re currently hosting at the Curvy Sewing Collective and second […]
A Wool Melton Claremont Coat
*Note: Portions of this post originally appeared on the Cali Fabrics blog. Hello, friends! I’m so excited to share this project with you! I’ve been dreaming of a green wool coat for some time now and last winter I decided that I wanted a 1940’s coat after watching the British show Home Fires. I knew exactly […]
