It seems like I’ve poked my head back into the sewing blog-o-sphere just before it is ready to explode! I know there’s always a sewing blog event going on somewhere, but it feels like there are going to be even more things coming up than normal in the next few weeks. Aside from Self Stitched … More Sewing Things About the Internet
Yes, yes, I know. I should sew fabric instead of buying it. But silly Fabric Mart sucked me in with more awesome sales. And I need to stop looking at the New Arrivals section. Seriously. The fact that Jo-Ann Fabrics strategically had a 50% off Red Tag at the same time as a major pattern … More I Have A Stash Problem
Ok, so I was being really good about limiting my fabric intake. But, well, then I happened to come across some really great pieces that just had to come live in my stash. And this seemed to happen a every time I went to a fabric store to pick up some thread, or at every amazing … More Stash Confession of Epic Proportions
First of all… Happy Pi Day! Second of all… Yes, this post contains projects finished in 2013. I haven’t been good about taking pictures lately. So, it turns out I did actually end up making some pants in 2013. At the very very very end. My sister and I got invited to a New Year’s … More Not A Pattern Review: Pajama Party Edition
Keeping warm at skating practice during the winter months is all about layering. I don’t see much point in making practice dresses that I can’t wear year-round, and having the option of taking off a long sleeve shirt is nice during days where the rink is warmer than anticipated. The thing is I am very … More Pattern Review: Burda 6990
There are always awesome sales in November, especially around Black Friday, and my stash sort of accidentally grew because of them… From Fashion Fabrics Club: Black/Green Teal ITY Knits (destined to be wrap dresses), and a houndstooth double knit. The double knit is NASTY fabric, even after washing. But, it was cheap. So it is … More November Fabric Buys
I don’t often post when sewing sales happen – as many stores aren’t accessible to a lot of my readers, and I kind of figure that if you want to know when sales happen you will have signed up for a mailing list somewhere along the way. But Black Friday is a bit different. Keeping … More Sewing Savings – Black Friday Deals
Ok, so last month on the sewing front I managed to make two jackets. Or, well, I made one jacket and finished most of a second one. The only thing I haven’t finished on that jacket – the bound button holes. To be more specific, the inside of the bound button holes. That jacket also … More Not a Pattern Review: Accidental Steampunk Jacket
Ok, so I was doing really well about not buying fabric. And then there were a bunch of sales on a lot of fabric I had been thinking about for upcoming projects. At the same time. So I may have increased my stash a little bit… From Fashion Fabrics Club: I am always on the … More Fabric Confessions
In my previous pattern review post I showed off my other knit dress that I made from this year’s February Burda Magazine. I have to say I was really excited about this issue when it came out, and I am even more excited about it now that I have made some of the patterns. There … More Pattern Review: BS-02-2013-115
