April hasn’t been a really great month for me as far as Kibbe sewing/challenge things go. It’s been a really busy month with lots of travel and event planning, and work, and sewing costumes for others. I’ve nearly finished sewing commissioned projects and I really hope this means a return to selfish sewing next month, … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – April Round Up
March has been a really slow month for me as far as Kibbe/personal sewing related things go. I did manage to finish the cardigan I started in February, New Look 6330, which was good. I feel like I at least haven’t been totally slacking as far as the whole “sewing challenge” thing goes, though my … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – March Round Up
It’s been another crazy busy month for me, but I’ve managed to get sick at the tail end of it, which has totally ruined my sew-jo. It’s really sad because I’d just finalized my plans for the Sew Your Kibbe Challenge when I came down with the plague. Whilst bedridden, I’ve been finding ways to … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – February Round Up
So a few weeks ago I posted several examples of how you could plan a capsule for the Sew Your Kibbe Challenge, using Soft Natural as an example. You may have noticed that many of these plans had quite a bit of overlap, not because Soft Natural options are limited (they aren’t), but because I’d … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge: Final Capsule Plans
One of the most requested posts since I started writing the Sew Your Kibbe Series was to identify which indie pattern brands would work best for the various Kibbe types. One of the reasons I didn’t want to use indie brands as part of the main series is because they often tend to have defined … More Indie Patterns for the Kibbe Types
I figured that I would close each month with a summary of how things are going with the Sew Your Kibbe Challenge. Personally, I’ve been gone most of the month for an important skating conference and competition, so I’ve really missed out on sewing time. (It’s the reason I knew I wouldn’t be able to … More Sew Your Kibbe Challenge – January Round Up
I’m pretty sure that the title of this post should come as no surprise given the past three months worth of posts about Kibbe and his style IDs. I’ve just completed posting the main series yesterday morning, and after having gone through all of the Kibbe types in such detail, I’m more certain than ever … More 2019: Sew Your Kibbe Challenge!
For an introduction to the Sew Your Kibbe Series, please see this post. The posts in this series are intended to be a well researched and thorough investigation of the Kibbe style recommendations, along with several example patterns for each “level of dress.” The posts in this series will be picture heavy and quite lengthy. … More Sew Your Kibbe: Soft Natural
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)
It’s been about a year since I first started researching body typing/image ID systems, and few months since my last Wardrobe Planning Post, at which point I’d come to suspect that I fell much more into the Kibbe Soft Natural category than into the Soft Classic category. Since then I’ve not had much time to … More Sew Geeky Mid-Year Assessment and Further Wardrobe Musings (Wardrobe Planning Post #13)
