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…
Rumor has it that it’s French Macaron Day. I have no idea who decides when “days” are for various things, but I’ve been meaning to post this dress for a while anyways so today is as good a day as any. This is the Seamwork (formerly Colette) Myrtle dress. The fabric is Spoonflower’s Performance Piqué printed…
Here’s another super old project that I’m just getting around to posting. These photos are from . . . 2017? Yeah, super old. Well, this will be a quick post. And nevermind what I’m wearing in the photos. I’m gardening. I’m not going to be wearing my finest duds when I’m playing in the dirt.…

We basically spent the semester learning cool and fun techniques you could do to a garment to move from the basic pattern to something that is more “you.” You’ll…
Due to the pandemic, we’re not celebrating Christmas with family this year, but I wanted to make it festive for my husband, especially since I usually do so much for Hanukkah. So I got a tiny tree and spent some time making a tree skirt to liven it up a bit. I did the text…
I am so excited to share this make with you! This was my final project for Flat Patterning at the Cañada College Fashion Department with Ronda Chaney. A silver lining to the pandemic was that I was able to save on commute time and take virtual fashion design classes. It also provided me with some…
This is a hard post for me to write which is why it’s taken so long given these costumes were made a while ago. Last year my little Tinkerbell traded her fairy wings for angel wings. I miss her every day and looking at these photos makes me both happy and sad, but I’d rather…
