The snake print trench coat is finally finished! Actually, it didn’t take as long as I had imagined, at least once all the pieces were cut out. Although this is probably the most complicated pattern I have used so far, just because it has so many small detail pieces: BWOF 01-2006-101B Although I made the … More Pattern Review: BWOF 01-2006-101B
As I stated in my last post – I had this top all cut out and ready to go when I decided to just make my pajama pants instead. Which meant I delayed the sewing by about a day, which meant my top still got finished in a timely manner, despite my wandering attention span. … More Pattern Review: Vogue 7997
Originally, my plan was to make the Vogue 7997 top first, then sew up these pants. But, well, cutting out the fabric for the Vogue pattern went so fast I thought I might as well trace and cut out the pieces for these pants too. I mean, there are only 3 pieces to trace and … More Pattern Review: BS 06-2011-114A
Alternative post titles: “Look ma, no belt!” or, “I’ve got Burda butt!” This is my second step in my epic quest to find the ultimate pants pattern. The first pants pattern I used was Vogue 1051, which I did like very much, and have made three pairs from. However, since I am fairly new to … More Pattern Review: BWOF 09-2003-104

Although it was almost done, I just had the feeling that I wanted to make something right … More Pattern Review: BS 07-2011-103A
Or, well, I got one! Â On PatternReview. Â I did notice some people had them, but I never really knew how they were given out. Â Guess they just sort of pop up one day according to lots of math-stuffs. Â Don’t know if it is good manners to speak of such things, but I was really excited … More I am a Star!
Alrighty, after a good many hours of sleep I finally feel refreshed enough to actually do a real post of the finished coat. This coat was quite an adventure. I had been planning it since back in February, with fabric selections and pattern selections occurring around May, and the finished project happening mid-September, the last … More Pattern Review: Vogue 8626
Alright, so I was supposed to be sewing up the coat for my sister. Of course, I really really wanted to make a dress for me for a party instead. So I did. It ended up… a little crazy though. But I like it. I just don’t know if I can wear it and not look ridiculous. … More Pattern Review: BS 05-2011-104
This is another project made for my sister. She found the fabric while we were at skating regionals, and decided she wanted some sort of skirt “with pleats.” After looking through my virtual pattern catalog, she decided on the A-Plus A Line which is free as a downloadable pattern from Burda Style. Line drawing of the skirt. … More Pattern Review: BSDL-D-01 A-Plus-A-Line
