Alright, as promised, here is a post about all of my recent sewing related purchases from my trip to Fort Wayne. Except, well, a lot of my buying didn’t actually occur in Fort Wayne. Luckily, I had the opportunity to spend some time (and a lot of money) in Shipshewana, Indiana. For those who aren’t … More Amish Paradise
Continuing my theme of posting projects that I completed in time for June, I thought next I would show my most disappointing project: the Burda 8292 coat. Now, I don’t think my disappointment stems from the pattern itself, but rather my poor choice of fabrics and impatience to make this coat in time for the wedding. I really wanted … More Pattern Review: Burda 8292
So while I haven’t been posting or sewing much lately, I have been thinking about sewing and acquiring lots of new fun fabrics and patterns in the last half month. Firstly, Fashionista Fabrics had a huge sale of old Burda World of Fashion magazines. Sadly, they are all sold out now, and they currently only have June … More Confession Time: Accumulation of a Stash

I am happy to say that, except for Simplicity Pattern 2172 (the steampunk pattern – I have NEVER seen it in a store, in any size, sale day or no, so I wasn’t too shocked … More JoAnn Memorial Weekend Sale – The Haul

Sadly, there … More Chickens or Eggs?
Alright, I know there are many crazy bright print lovers out there – I am not one of them. I mean, sure, I like the prints. The look cool. But, I can’t wear them. No, no, don’t argue with me about size, scale, color – I have tried it all and it just. doesn’t. work. … More But I Can’t Wear Prints!
Sewing people of the internets – do you ever have actual nightmares about sewing? I did for the first time a few nights ago. I dreamed that I had used one of my recent stash accumulations for a really ugly skirt. It looked like I was wearing a box on my hips. The seams were … More Sewing Nightmares
So today was a very good day for my stash. Been saving up/planning for the pattern and fabric sales for a while, so when fabric gets to $2/yard I buy! In any case, lots of stash accumulation to show off… I will say it took several hours and several JoAnn stores to acquire all the … More Stash Accumulation
