Back to an older project for a bit. This one is the Seamwork Veronica made from a quilting cotton. Veronica is a simple dress with a waist and elastic at the back. It went together pretty easily. The instructions were clear and not many pieces. But I think I made a poor choice in fabric…
The second retreat project was making a pair of slippers. The organizers provided us with some non-skid fabric to use for the bottom and sent out a list of free patterns, but I couldn’t just make basic slippers. I mean, it’s me. So, yeah, no. I was definitely going to make pig slippers. I perused…
Now for something sorta recent but sorta old. This is the Seamwork Camden cape. These photos are from this past February when I finally finished it, but I say “sorta old” because I actually started it about 2 years ago. As in, I had finished everything but hemming the lining. But never got around to…
As I mentioned in the Cinderella costume post, I had bought tulle for a petticoat but decided it would be too much for that costume. So I decided to make one for myself. I did a super simple one just using the gathering foot on my serger. I had 2 rolls so I gathered one…
Here’s another one from way back. This is the Seamwork Neenah. The fabric is some Ponte from Fabric.com that I had originally ordered as a potential fabric for my April O’Neil costume, but obviously didn’t end up using. I was making it as a muslin for a dress I wanted to do for Costume College.…
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…
