The first thing I made this year (as in, on Jan 2 while I was on New Year’s vacation) was a black Charm Patterns Stanwyck Skirt. After making the Stanwyck for my Hanukkah skirt, I knew I needed a black one that I could use as a basic in my wardrobe. And in fact, it…
It’s been a hot minute since I last posted because there’s been so much life happening. Good life things — working, traveling, sewing — but things that take away from posting nonetheless. Hard to believe that we’re now only about 2 weeks out from the 2024 Her Universe Fashion Show! And since I won last…
I spent a lot of time on the accessories for this look so I thought they needed their own post. Also, the accessories were mostly not sewing like the rest of it. There were actually 2 sets of accessories since there were cosplay flavored ones for the Disneyland Half Marathon and the fashion ones for…
As I mentioned in the previous post, I was going to do a separate post on the top. This is the Pattern Emporium Keep It Simple Semi Fitted Tee. I used the leftover moisture wicking fabric from Califabrics that I used for the lining of the vest and skirt. I made my usual size 8…
So yesterday I showed you some of the photos from photoshoot, but now I’m going to talk about the actual construction. There are three garment pieces to this look — the shirt, the vest and the skirt — as well as the accessories. The shirt was made just for the fashion shoot so I’ll do…
I am so excited to share these photos with you! I had an awesome photoshoot for my streetwear Snowth look and I was debating how to fit it all into one post. So I think I’m going to show you the photos from the shoot today and I’ll talk about the construction tomorrow. I wanted…
This post was originally supposed to be part of the skirt post but that post got too long so the hoop skirt is getting its own. That being said, welcome to part 9 of my series on the construction of my winning look for the 2023 Her Universe Fashion Show. If you want to start…
Alright, let’s talk about that giant skirt. This is part 8 of my series describing the construction of my winning look for the Her Universe Fashion Show 2023. If you want to start from the beginning of the construction journey for my Totally Minnie look, start with this post. I knew from the start of…
Happy Hanukkah! I’m so excited to be able to share a project I’ve been working on the past couple of months. I worked with Charm Patterns to design this Hanukkah Skirt which is now available up on their blog. I had a great time working with the team at Charm Patterns to make this happen…
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…
