Two years ago was the year of my Tim Gunn inspired wardrobe challenge. This past year I was supposed to be continuing that and making myself some seasonally appropriate clothing. Well, this past year didn’t quite work out the way I wanted – I spent a large part of the beginning of the year sick … More Sewing Plans 2014: Fantasy Sewing
I got really distracted in November, so I don’t want to add a lot to my sewing plans list. Really, I probably shouldn’t be adding anything at all. But recent fabric purchases (oops) and sewing successes may have swayed my sewing interest for the moment. Most of my unfinished November projects are fairly simple though … More December Sewing Plans
Ok, so I know I wrote my sewing plans a while ago, but I think my new goal is to do a monthly update – that should let me account for the projects I actually finished, see how my whims and fancies have changed and put things on hold in the event of being busy … More November Sewing Plans
Ok, even I have to admit that the weather is changing and eventually I will want to wear something other than a lightweight knit tank top. I decided to make a few more dresses (one for me, one for my sister) that are more suitable for spring than fall, since I have had the patterns … More Sewing Plans: The Transition to Fall Sewing
At the beginning of the year I thought about all the things I needed in my wardrobe, I plotted, I planned, I gave myself a year-long sewing challenge. I did something similar last year, and I really enjoyed thinking about making clothes that work in a wardrobe, for multiple occasions, or fill a need in … More Throwing in the Challenge Towel: Sewing for ME!
In the whirlwind of skating costumes that have been consuming my life for the past few months I completely missed marking my four year sewiversary at the start of June.

So, while I was initially uninspired by the early preview for the March issue of Burda, I ended up really liking a lot of the styles in this issue, and it seems that having the magazine in my position has inspired a fair bit of fabric acquisition and unexpected project planning. Which I think is … More Drat You March Burda!
Today is a two-for-one! The early preview of the March BurdaStyle has been posted, as well as the full preview for the Spring/Summer Burda Plus magazine. I also have a bit of a sewing update at the bottom of the post! ************************************************************************** The Burda Style preview for March has been posted on both the Russian … More Burda – March Preview and Spring/Summer Plus Magazine
This past year I was having a lot of fun working to complete the items for my Tim Gunn inspired sewing challenge. I might have gotten a bit skewed away from my goals, what with most of summer being taken up with sewing for others, and at the end of the year I found myself … More 2013 Sewing Plans
I am a bit frustrated because the sewing mojo is high – I have a lot of projects I want to make, it is finally getting cold out, so I can actually wear the coats on my list, and my brain keeps wandering to all the things I want to sew. Not to mention all … More (Lack of) Sewing Progress
