This quilt took forever. Okay, not forever. Twenty-one years. But that’s still a very long time for a single quilt. I started it for my bestie Serena while we were still in college. I had completed one quilt at that point. I was very ambitious in deciding to make a queen size quilt for anyone,…
And here is the top version of the Pattern Emporium Field of Dreams Strappy Tiered Dress and Top that I shared yesterday! I’ve already mentioned that the pattern has a ton of different styles so now you get to see another one. I love how cute and summery it is, styled here with my homemade…
I had the opportunity to test another pattern from Pattern Emporium so of course I jumped at the chance since their patterns are always so high quality. This one is their new Field of Dreams Strappy Tiered Dress and Top which was just release last week. I would have posted this sooner, but I was traveling. Obviously,…
This summery little number is the Free Spirit Tank by Patterns 4 Pirates. I actually made this last summer about the same time that I made my Rumi Tank Dress (which is why you may notice that my hair is the same color in both sets of photos). I was going on a tank dress odyssey…
It’s taken me a hot minute to get back into the swing of blogging things this year, but here we are. This one is the Tilly and the Buttons Zadie Dress which I finished last year but had bought the fabric about a year before that. I would arguably call this a somewhat wearable muslin. But…
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…
Here’s a real throwback. This is the Amy Butler Honeybun Pouf (available here but you’ll need to scroll down the page). You may notice that it looks only partially filled and that’s because it is. It was created to fill with with scraps. You know all the those off cuts from making clothes? Or from…
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…
