It’s that time of year again… The time of year when most sewing bloggers are participating in Me Made May. The time of year when most sewing bloggers are making lovely, bright spring looks. The time of year when cosplayers start debuting new looks for the major summer cons. That time of year when the … More That Time of Year – 2018 Edition
I was away for a week to judge a skating competition, then sick for a week because of a cold I picked up at said skating competition, so not much has been happening on the sewing front. It seems a little dangerous to wield a rotary cutter when you are weak and shaking, so I’ve … More Sew Geeky Update Post
Every year on my blog I try to look forward to the new year with sewing goals and sewing plans. It isn’t so much about making resolutions; I’m not really trying to create habits, but it is more about having some sort of goal-oriented roadmap for the future. Let’s see how I did on working … More Sewing Goals 2018
So it’s been a couple of weeks since the end of the Pattern Review Sewing Bee, and I have to admit I haven’t sewn a stitch since I finished my Round 4 project. My hat goes off to so many of the other talented participants who’ve churned out incredible garments post-Bee; I just haven’t had … More Post Bee Thoughts and Upcoming Plans (Wardrobe Planning Post #10.5)
So, even though I know posting things here is the curse of never completing said items, I have so much bouncing around my head right now that I really need to put it somewhere, just so I can focus on all the things I need to make first. So here is a long meandering list … More Sewing Things I Want to Do, Spring 2017 Edition

I don’t know that I will have time to actually complete all the sewing for this competition by the end of March (time is flying!), but I figure that if I have it as a goal … More Am I really playing Sudoku? (Or, how many February Burda Magazines can I sew from in 2 months?)
At the end of the year I like to make sewing goals. I don’t always achieve all of them, but I think it is interesting to see what interests or needs have been pressing enough that I’ve accomplished them by the end of the year. From last year my goals were: “(1) Cosplays. I have … More Sewing Goals 2017
Well, my bias cut Burda swing coat did not qualify me to the third round of the Pattern Review Sewing Bee. While I’m disappointed to not being able to move on, I’m still super proud of the work I did, and sort of glad to not have the pressure of continuing. The timing for this round … More Sewing Update and October Plans
So one of the reasons I’ve been so busy the past few months is that my very close friend (essentially family) is getting married. Tomorrow. Which means all the months of planning and preparations and dress fittings will soon be over. (Just to get it out of the way – No I did not make … More Embarking on Insanity
Last year I had such grand plans. I thought I would tackle some of my most coveted designs, have a fabulous wardrobe, and love my sewing life. Of course, reality was quite different. The past several years have started with me being excited, optimistic, and rather ambitious with my sewing ideas. But, well, after a … More (Lack of) Sewing Plans 2015
