Ok, so this isn’t really part of any of my Sew Geeky plans for the year. I still have a lot of pieces I want to make from my wardrobe plans inspired by The Magicians, and technically I should start working on my plans inspired by Doctor Who, though actually actually I should be making … More Pattern Review: Burda 6476
This was something of an unexpected sew – I was thinking I *might* still be able to pull off a September mini-wardrobe, but realized there was no way I was going to finish if I included my blazer jacket. So I thought I might speed up the process by reusing an older pattern and making … More Pattern Review: My Image M1003 (Again)
This is my third piece from my Sew Geeky fall plans, and is also part of my direct interpretation of a screen costume from The Magicians. I’m really excited about this piece because with a wig and few accessories I now have a passable cosplay of the librarian’s costume from the show. It’s not totally … More Pattern Review: Vogue 9257 (Fall Sew Geeky)
So I’ve made this top before, but when you leave off all of the details it is a really nice, simple, long sleeved top. So I thought it would be great to use as part of my didn’t-quite-make-it-in-time-for-the-contest-mini-wardrobe-in-a-wardrobe fall sewing plans. Plus, I could use it as part of a future cosplay as well! The … More Pattern Review: BS-09-2012-123A (Again) (Fall Sew Geeky)
I hadn’t originally included this dress as part of my spring Sew Geeky plans, but, then again, I hadn’t originally planned on attending a wedding during this time frame either. This was sort of a last minute look, but I thought I might as well incorporate it into my Spring Sew Geeky capsule, even though, … More Pattern Review: BWOF-03-2007-126 (Spring Sew Geeky)
The Pattern Review Wardrobe Contest is in the home stretch! I’ve finished the topper, tops, and now my first of two bottoms! This Burda pattern has been in my stash for quite a while, but really came on my radar when I saw Mimi G.’s version several years ago. I really liked these pants because … More Pattern Review: Burda 7195 (Sew Geeky Spring/Wardrobe Contest Item #5)
The final top for my Pattern Review Wardrobe Contest entry is an oldie but a goodie – A remake of Simplicity 3536D. This was one of the first patterns I ever made, way back in 2011, and despite my imperfect sewing, I loved the top so much I wore the fabric past the point of … More Pattern Review: Simplicity 3536D (Sew Geeky Spring/Wardrobe Contest Item #4)
Continuing on with my Sew Geeky/Pattern Review Mini Wardrobe, I decided to make BurdaStyle 06-2014-103 as my second top for including in the contest entry. I thought that the contrast trim nicely echoed the design lines of many of the costumes from the Broadway musical, most specifically the white dress Esmeralda wears at the end … More Pattern Review: BS-06-2014-103 (Sew Geeky Spring/Wardrobe Contest Item #3)
This is the second item for my spring capsule/Pattern Review Wardrobe Contest. I’ve entered the top-making phase of the contest, one down and 2 to go. This isn’t the sort of top I typically wear, but I actually really enjoy the shape of the sleeves and relaxed fit. Here is my version: Here is my … More Pattern Review: Butterick 5388C (Sew Geeky Spring/Wardrobe Contest Item #2)
When I came up with my original Sew Geeky plans, this jacket wasn’t on it at all, but I added it to meet the criteria of the Pattern Review Wardrobe Contest, and I’m so happy I did! I love this jacket! Simple, casual, warm, easy, and colorful. Definitely fits with what I’m wanting to wear … More Pattern Review: BWOF-03-2003-109A (Sew Geeky Spring/Wardrobe Contest Item #1)
