Time for one of my throwback posts. As in, one of the ones I meant to post ages ago, but just never got around to it. This one is for my Kitty Pryde casual cosplay that I made for Comic Con 2019 and also ended up wearing to the intro party at Costume College that…
This is the newest pattern from Pattern Emporium: the Coastal Side Split Skirt. It was just released this week and I had fun testing it! It’s a pretty versatile skirt as you’ll see in my photos — you can wear it for winter with a sweater or summer with a tank top or t-shirt. I…
As promised, here is the second version of the Love Notions Rhapsody Blouse that I made. This one was made with a viscose crepe from Califabrics that has cute little lady bugs on it. I’ve actually got a number of creation videos up on my Instagram. If you want to take a look at them, they…
This adorable pattern is the Love Notions Rhapsody Blouse and I’m quite happy with how it turned out. You might recognize the fabric from my Meet You There Dress. It’s some viscose crepe that I got at Stonemountain & Daughter and was once again very nice to work with. It presses so nicely though it does start to…
Happy New Year! It’s a new year although I’m still wrapping up posting projects from last year. I’ve got some that I’m super excited about but still need to get decent photos, so I’ll just start posting the ones I do have photos of starting with this one. Although arguably I only have the one…
My quilt guild does 2 retreats every year — one in person and one virtual. The in-person one never seems to work out for me schedule-wise so I try to make the virtual one. Especially as our numbers grew beyond our local area physically during the pandemic, the virtual one has been a lot of…
This cute number is the Pattern Emporium Take The Chance Dress. I actually did the pattern test for this a couple of weeks ago, but due to life getting in the way I’m only now getting a chance to do the full write up on it. Overall, it’s a solid pattern like most of the…
It’s been a while since I posted because I’ve been traveling to various parts of my great country as well as to others (and, of course, working in between trips). One of the places I visited was Ireland for a week. Ireland is a stunningly beautiful country and I can’t wait to go back. We…
As promised in my Grab A Cuppa Cardi post, here’s a review of the Pattern Emporium Foxy Legs pants. I made this to go with the cardigan, but really I had bought that black organic French terry from Califabrics years ago for the purpose of making short joggers just like these. I have a really…
I had my first quilt in a quilt show! It was my guild’s quilt show this past May and this was the quilt which I named Cool Kisses on a Warm Day because of the cool blue “kiss” squares on the warm red background. The quilt itself was the result of a workshop on color…
