Strapless romance in the Cashmerette Ellington dress
I review the new Cashmerette Ellington Dress, detailing my fit adjustments (sizing down and custom shortening), grading, and a fun faux corset back modification. I discuss the clean lining finish, boning support, and working with a linen-rayon blend. Perfect for a romantic look!

I know what you’re thinking — another pattern test? Yes, and this is the third in the group, but I promise it’s just as good as the last two. Pattern Emporium decided to launch 3 patterns at once. They’re based in Australia so sometimes they’ll do that so they can hit the summer and winter…

If you’re not familiar with Alphonse Mucha, I highly recommend checking out his work. His work is just lovely. In fact, if you think you don’t know his work, you’ve probably seen it but just didn’t realize. Go check it out, then come back here and finish reading. Last summer my costume guild had a…

Glittering Flower Hair Clips Tutorial
This project has been a long time coming. I actually started it before the holidays, but then it was put on hold for holiday travel and taking up space on my desk until this weekend. And in the end, I’m quite pleased with how it came out. I was inspired by some glitter flower hair…

Purple Fabric Flowers
While I was at my parents’ place over the holidays, I wanted to do something crafty. I had bookmarked Tasha of Creation Corner‘s post on a Pointed Flower Tutorial and it seemed like the perfect quick and easy craft. My dad and I had just gone to the New Year’s Day fabric sale where I…

Silhouette Sunday: Flowered Pants
I’ve been itching to try out the heat transfer I got. So I went on to the online store and picked out this cute flower [rough_flower_C00014_27011]. I hate wasting so I copied a bunch of the leaves on the flower and made copies which I then ran down the side of the leg of those…
