Geeky seamstress with too many ideas and not enough time. Costumes, cosplay, reading, cooking, crafting.
I think this is the part of writing this blog where I tap the mic to see if it’s still on and blow heartily to clear away the dust and cobwebs. It’s been and continues to be a crazy year (for so many reasons), and I must admit I have largely let sewing fall by … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: LilyPADesigns Lamina Bra Pattern Review
I did get more sewing done in September than in August, but not as much as I would have hoped. I got a few things done, but not any pictures yet, and I’ve got one WIP that with any luck should finish up next month. Sewing Progress I finally started on what I’m calling the … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2025 September Wrap Up
I thought August would be the month I got back to sewing, but it wasn’t as much as I had hoped. This month feels like it has been flying, and I’ve been trying to get caught up on other things, so the sewing has been pretty minimal. Sewing Progress My limited sewing time has been … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2025 August Wrap Up
I fell into the world of style typing systems several years ago, and since then it seems that the internet has become even more obsessed with them, and with the idea of finding your “personal style.” Although this concept really isn’t new, it’s been interesting watching newer authors and creators expand systems that were previously … More Book Review: How to Dress Your Best
Like June, July has been a rapid and busy month. I feel like I’ve barely been home, and had no time or inclination towards sewing even when I was. It’s been overall a good month for me on a personal level – I’ve been able to see a lot of friends and do a lot … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2025 July Wrap Up
June has flown by. It’s been an incredibly busy month, which has been fun, but it also feels a bit like I’m just trying to hold on for the ride. No sewing to report, though I have been reading some new books I hope to review on the blog soon. This is going to be … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2025 June Wrap Up
I… honestly can’t even really believe it’s the end of May. It didn’t seem like it while I was going through it, but now that I’m a bit more caught up with reality it feels like I lost a lot of time to the vortex of jury duty. This month has been busy, and the … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2025 May Wrap Up
I posted my review of the AFI Elegance Bra a while back, but at the time I noted that I wasn’t entirely pleased with the fit of the bra because the upper cup was just a bit tight. I’ve gone back to remake the pattern and test my theory that a stretch upper cup would … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Elegance Bra Again
I reviewed the patterns I used in the Bee on a Wire class (the PUG Freja, the PUG Ruby, the AFI Elegance, and the La Bella Coppia Josey) a few months ago on the blog. I had always intended to make matching bottoms for each of these, but, as I discussed in my March and … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: From UFO to Finished Object!
I posted my book review of David Kibbe’s Power of Style after I finished reading the book a few months ago. I wanted to get my review up reasonable quickly after I’d finished reading the book, but in my review I did note that although I had some criticisms of the book, and felt that … More Kibbe’s Power of Style: Exercises and Follow-up Thoughts
