Geeky seamstress with too many ideas and not enough time. Costumes, cosplay, reading, cooking, crafting.
Although I’ve still been sewing a lot of undergarments, with a lot of recent life changes I’ve been thinking a lot more about necessary wardrobe updates again. I was thinking about it a lot before the pandemic happened; that was the last time I got a new job. As the pandemic progressed, my needs shifted, … More Book Review: Wear It Well
Ok, so I had super ambitious plans for this month, making a full outfit to wear to a fancy event on Halloween! But this month was absolutely crazy so everything did not fall into my expected sewing timeline. And since I’m pre-writing this post (because of my Halloween event) even I don’t know if I … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2024 October Wrap Up
It’s definitely been a hot minute since I’ve done a post about new Burda patterns. I had been considering letting my subscription lapse after this year, but the November issue has filled me with hope for the pattern brand. I don’t think Burda has fixed all the issues that have lessened the quality of the … More Burda Is Back?
Ok, so October has really not been going how I planned. In my September wrap-up post I was unexpectedly working on the cherry lingerie wardrobe (which I finished) and I had proclaimed I would be working on a few other things to wear to an event on Halloween. However, October has been a month of … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: LilyPADesigns Marei Strapless Bra Pattern Review
When I had previously planned wardrobe sewing, I never thought it would really extend to making collections of undergarments, but here we are. I became obsessed with this cherry fabric from Metro Textiles, and now I’ve got enough cherry undergarments to last me a lifetime. Or at least until the end of the year… After … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: A Cherry Lingerie Wardrobe
I had planned not to work on any challenges in The Hive while I was working on things to wear at the end of the month event I’m going to, but when there was a collective decision to try the AFI Atelier Maya pattern “for science”, well, you know I had to jump in. The … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: An Unexpected Challenge: AFI Maya Pattern Review
I’m sure that based on the fact I’ve written 0 blog posts this month, no one will be surprised that I’ve been quite busy with a lot of things that aren’t sewing. I’ve finally gotten back to sewing things in just the past two days, so not a lot to report in this post, but … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2024 September Wrap Up
I had hoped that August would have been a super productive sewing month for me since I was home from my spring travels, but I’ve generally not had a ton of energy to be sewing. I’ve been doing a lot of sewing adjacent things – planning projects, organizing pattern files, thinking about finishing up some … More Monthly Sewing Review – 2024 August Wrap Up
This month the Bra Sewing Community is celebrating BRAugust! It’s primarily an Instagram Challenge to post about Bra Sewing every day, but I’ve largely gone away from posting on Instagram so I decided to do a weekly summary here on the blog, instead of the daily posting just to keep a bit more manageable of … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: BRAugust Week 5
It’s really funny that before I started sewing undergarments I really couldn’t have cared less about if things matched or how they looked. If they “fit” and were functional, it was fine. I also really wasn’t into cutesy undergarments or frilly things with lots of lace. However, when I saw this adorable cherry fabric in … More Adventures in Bra Sewing: Starting a Lingerie Mini-Wardrobe
