Hello friends! Today, I’m sharing something different — a me-made leather purse! I teamed up with the Leather Hide Store to make this bag. This is made out of leather remnants provided by the Leather Hide Store. I chose the Nevada leather for my project. This is the first time that I’ve sewed any […]
Sewing into 2015
Hello friends! I’m on a little bit of a small sewing hiatus at the moment as I’ve been sick, so I thought it would be a great time to reflect on my sewing from last year and focus on what I want to sew this year. 2014 was a great year for me on many […]
2014 in Dresses
Hello friends! 2014 is coming to an end and what better way to celebrate the coming year than to look back on the dresses I made this year! Georgina suggested on Facebook that I share a post with a 2014 dress mosaic and I thought it would be a great idea. I started this […]
Merry Christmas!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas shared with those you love. For me, I’m enjoying a Christmas of traditions with my family. We have a cocktail and hors d’oevres party on Christmas Eve and each open one present. On Christmas day, my husband and I open gifts early in the morning with my parents […]
Holiday Dressing: Bonnie in Hearts + a Silk Circle Skirt
Hello Friends! It’s almost Christmas! Yay! 🙂 And yes…. I’m still sewing for myself! In between preparing all of the trimmings that make this time of year magical, I’m still doing my selfish sewing. I’m actually going to be sewing up my two quick-sew Christmas gifts later on today, but I’m not making this year […]
A Burgundy Violet
Hello friends! I made one Violet and couldn’t wait to make another one! This, of course, is the BlueGingerDoll Violet knit dress. It’s definitely one of my favorite knit patterns and once I made my first one, I was already planning another one! This Violet is made pretty much the same as the first […]
A Dahlia for the Holidays
Merry Christmas, friends! I’m so happy to share this year’s Christmas dress! The pattern I used this year is the Colette Dahlia. As soon as this pattern came out, I had to have it. There is a designer dress that I’ve been planning to copy and this pattern is quite similar to it and […]
A Red Bonnie and a Polka Dot Chiffon Skirt
Hello, friends! Oh, how I love polka dots! And red! Red is one of my colors and I don’t wear it that often. I tend to stick with my beloved greens, but pretty much any color is one that I’ll wear. The ones I tend to stay away from are greys and khakis as they […]
An Aqua and Rose Moneta
Hello, friends! It seems like I’ve had a backlog of projects to photograph and here’s the first one — yet another Moneta! Yes…..it’s another Moneta, so nothing too different here. The Moneta is no doubt my go-to pattern for a quick and easy dress. I find that I’m wearing these quite often in these colder […]
Blogiversary Giveaway WINNERS!
Hello friends! I’m happy to announce the winners of my blog anniversary giveaway. I wish I could give every one of you a gift, but I had to dwindle it down to two. I randomly chose the winners using a number generator after assigning each entree a number. For Parcel #1: And the winner is […]
A Navy Wool Peggy
Hello there, friends! I have a new outfit to share! Yay! 🙂 Someone asked me a few days ago if I was a fast sewer. I really am not that fast unless it’s something that I’ve sewn before and is simple and easy to put together [like the Moneta]. It’s just that I generally […]
An Animal Print Violet
Hello, friends! Today I have something out of the ordinary for me — an animal print! Honestly, I am not a fan of animal prints, so I’m very surprised that I’m wearing one now. I bought this fabric a few months ago (along with a bunch of other knits) to make a dress for a […]
The Jenny Lee Dress [Simplicity 1459]
Hello, friends! I’m happy to share this retro shirtwaist dress with you! This dress is inspired by this lovely striped shirt dress worn by Jenny Lee in Call the Midwife. I couldn’t find any photos online, so these are screen captures from season 3. I used Simplicity 1459 to make my dress, along with […]
Happy Blogiversary to me = Giveaway time for YOU
Wooohooo!! It’s been two years of sewing blogging for me and I want to thank my dear readers! Two short years ago I started posting sewing related blogs on this ol’ blog. I had been reading sewing blogs for longer than that and I actually had an eclectic anthropology-ish blog with a large […]
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 […]
