It’s hard to believe that the winter season is upon us! When I started my Sew Geeky project back in January, I was quite ambitious with my goals for the year. My spring capsule was fairly well rounded out, though I’m still excited by a few of those plans that never quite got started, my … More Sew Geeky Plans – Winter 2018
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)
While my first piece in my Sew Geeky mini wardrobe was clearly a direct interpretation of a screen costume from The Magicians, my second top in this collection is more a mashup of something I feel Queen Margot would approve of and something Alice would potentially be excited by in one of the alternate storylines … More Pattern Review: Butterick 6134 (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)
Sadly, I had no time to work on my Summer Sew Geeky wardrobe plans. Like, no time. None. It’s been a pretty hectic summer, with lots of travel (both expected and unexpected) and more commissioned projects than I’d planned on taking. In fact, there are even a few projects from my Spring Sew Geeky plans … More Sew Geeky Plans – Fall 2018
As per my original Sew Geeky planning post at the beginning of the year, I am now at the time when I wanted to start my summer sewing. Unfortunately, my spring sewing plans got somewhat kiboshed by all of the skating costume commissions that came my way. Happily, I made 5 of my originally planned … More Sew Geeky Plans – Summer
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)
Since I’ve already blogged about my first six items for my Spring Sew Geeky plans, this post is a bit redundant, but I figured I’d repost my official Pattern Review 6-in-6 Wardrobe Contest entry here for posterity. Wardrobe Contest Composite Review Inspiration: At the start of 2018 I had made it my goal to sew with … More Pattern Review 6-in-6 Wardrobe Contest Composite
The final item for my Pattern Review 6-in-6 Wardrobe Contest Entry is done! And it’s jeans! This is my first time making jeans, even though I wear RTW jeans almost every day. I have to admit, it was super fun! I’m overall really pleased with how these turned out. There are a few things I’ll … More Pattern Review: Closet Case Ginger Jeans (Sew Geeky Spring/Wardrobe Contest Item #6)
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)
