Coming off the last piece that I made, this is what I made with the leftovers. I had just enough to eke it out. The base is the Renfrew shirt by Sewaholic (one of my tried and true patterns) that I just hacked down the middle and shortened. I really like the overall execution. I did…
Another old one. This is the 4 out of 5 Weekender Tunic and I wear it all the time. Whenever it’s clean. I made it using some acrylic sweater knit from CaliFabrics that was on sale (check it out — it’s still on sale!) It felt kinda stiff when I got it, but after a single wash…
I’ve got a massive backlog of projects that I worked on over the last year (or two . . .) that I never posted, so I’ll be squeezing those in between more recent stuff. This one here is a set of glitter dot running skirts that I made for the Universal Studios Minion 5K. Courtney…
I recently had the opportunity to pattern test the Morrison Top and Dress from Blue Dot Patterns. This was my first time pattern testing. I had applied to various indy patterns for testing before, but this was the first time I’d actually been chosen. It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed seeing the…
This is just a fast post while I get some other stuff together. This is the sports bra from Butterick B6295. Well, it’s the sports bra (A) with the straps of the top (B). I had this extra fabric from a costume I made as well as a skort and I thought it would be…
This is the Abderdeen by Seamwork. I used some double brushed poly that I got from Califabrics. I really like the print with all the snacks on it and the fabric is overall pretty comfortable. I was also really happy with how the pattern turned out. This is definitely one I think I’ll make again,…
So I realize that I’ve been a total slacker in posting my running costumes. Because let’s face it — I’ve been a total slacker at posting. But look at this! 2 posts already this year. I’m a roll, don’t you think? At any rate, this was a top I made out of some moisture wicking…
Along with the baby quilt and bag that I sent off, I also wanted to include something for big sis. After verifying with her mom that she was now a few sizes bigger, I decided to go with a Geranium Dress, pattern from Made by Rae. This is definitely one of my go-to patterns for…
I was sending some quilts for my cousin’s baby boy (post coming soon) but I didn’t want to send them along without sending something for his older sister. She’s quite the little fashionista so dresses are always a good bet for her 🙂 So I made her another Geranium Dress (patter by Made by Rae).…
One of the activities i do when I’m not working is teach sewing classes at work along with some other lovely folks. One of them wanted to test out the Hudson Pants pattern from True Bias so a bunch of us got together to make them. Everybody picked a different fabric and different size so…
