This jacket is Vogue 8346 which was my final project for the tailoring class I took virtually this semester at the Cañada College fashion department. This was an amazing class and I learned oodles. So many new techniques that I will continue to use for coats and other apparel. But buckle up because this is…
This is probably one of the fastest finish to photos I’ve ever had. I finished this last Wednesday (literally, I was finishing up the lining by hand in the hotel room that night because I wanted to wear it the next day), got photos over the weekend and you get to see it today! The…
This little cottagecore number is the newest pattern from Pattern Emporium that I had the pleasure of testing called the Meet You There Dress. This pattern has several options including 2 sleeve lengths or sleeveless, 2 necklines, at least 5 possible lengths and a bunch of add-ons. I went with the 3/4 sleeves (pushed up…
This pattern is the Anna Dress by By Hand London. For years I saw reviews and pics of this pattern and really wanted to make it. I love a good boatneck top. And it seemed to look good on everyone. I finally got it and used this beautiful metallic quilting cotton that looks like mermaid…
This shirt took me about 2 years to finish. I actually started it during the same Lauren Taylor workshop as this shirt. Basically I’m fast (when I want to be)(at sewing, not taking photos . . . obviously) and don’t really need the full three days. So on the third day I started a new one…
This is my first finished knit top! I crocheted a sweater a while back, but this was the first non-hat/scarf knit garment I made. I’m really pleased with how it came out! I did it as part of a virtual knitalong with Alison of Uncommon Threads and used Sami by Amano yarn which I also got…
I have another pattern test to show you! This is the Flawesome Cut Out Top (and dress, but I only made the top for the test) by Pattern Emporium and it was just released today! It’s a fun top with a little bit of an edgy vibe due to the cut out on top. I probably…
Okay, I’ve got one more (for now) Tank Dress: 3-Ways by Pattern Emporium for you. In my previous post I go into how much I love about the pattern. But now I want to show you some of the extra fun things you can do. The dress above — right, I know my dog steals…
I was super excited to be chosen as a pattern tester for the recent release of the Tank Dress: 3-Ways by Pattern Emporium. I’ve used Pattern Emporium patterns before and found them to be quite well designed so I was looking forward to seeing the testing process and being involved in making one of…
Technically I made this last year so I figured it’s about time I post it. I really need to get more timely, but then again it’s my blog so I guess I can post whenever I want. This is the Grainline Linden Sweatshirt. Although it’s labeled as a sweatshirt, just about everyone I know who…
