Geeky seamstress with too many ideas and not enough time. Costumes, cosplay, reading, cooking, crafting.
I can’t even believe May is wrapping up. I feel like it’s been a whirlwind month, even though it’s been relatively calm in terms of travel and scheduled events. I did have a lot of stuff I needed to get done this month, though, so I still didn’t have a lot of sewing time. Sewing … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 May Wrap Up
I sort of knew April was going to be a lost cause in terms of sewing, and it pretty much was. I did a few Cricut crafts as gifts, but not much else. Spring seems like it’s the busiest time for other things (work, side hustles, and volunteer efforts), so sewing takes a back seat. … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 April Wrap Up
The only sewing I’ve done this month has been fantasy sewing. I had an idea to maybe do the Pattern Review Wardrobe Sudoku contest, but, well, life. It’s all been crazy insane and I don’t think it will let up any time soon. Right now I’m honestly really looking forward to August….

Over the holidays my sister and I did a pattern swap – we traced off and traded each other the sizes we needed so that we would both have a copy of the Ruby Bra and a copy of the Freja bra patterns. … More Adventures in Bra Sewing – Part 3: Trying the Freja Bra
Somehow after a very crafty December, January has resulted in almost no sewing, crafting, or other creative pursuits. It has been a busy month with travel and work, and we’ve also had a few unexpected issues pop up that have taken over a lot of my crafting time. I was able to get several update … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2023 January Wrap Up
During the course of our bra-making adventures, I often told my sister to “use a pattern weight” to help keep pattern pieces in place during cutting, to which she always replied “I don’t have any.” Now, of course, we all know anything can be used as a pattern weight, really. However, some of the pattern … More Holiday Gift Crafting: Pattern Weights
I actually finished this project before Christmas, but this post is a bit delayed because of atypical holiday travel schedules and certain gift recipients wanting to be surprised… But it’s a super cool project so I’m excited to finally be sharing what I made! A while ago I was scrolling Instagram and I saw a … More A Little Crafty Sewing: Needle Keeper
It seems a bit of a time warp to be writing Craftsy class reviews… after all of the chaos with the platform it seems like it has really fallen off the sewing and crafting radar. However, a lot of the original classes made for the original Craftsy are still available on the platform, and a … More Craftsy Class Reviews: Lingerie Essentials Series
So after my first bra-making endeavor, I was pretty happy with the fit of the bra in general, but I still needed to make several alterations to the second version of the pattern to correct multiple fit issues. The second version of the bra looks very similar to the first, but I actually made several … More Adventures in Bra Sewing – Part 2: Making a Better Fitting Bra!
