(Lack of) Sewing Progress

November 11, 2012

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

Pattern Review: Butterick 5685

October 30, 2012

Firstly, let me extend my good thoughts to people dealing with hurricane conditions – I hope you (and your sewing rooms and skating rinks) all make it through the storm mostly unscathed.  I will be thinking and hoping for things to turn out ok. Ok, now for the real post: Since I finally decided to … More Pattern Review: Butterick 5685

You guys – I have pants!  I have been lusting after these pants since March… and finally I have them finished!  This was my first experience using a Patrones pattern, and I have to say that overall I am quite happy with the resulting fit.

Two Muslins and Other Thoughts

October 14, 2012

I have been going at it with the sewing machine – I still haven’t fully sewn together my pants (I still need to attach the waistband and hem, but probably not until next weekend), but I did working on muslins for my button shirt and a jacket.  First, the good news: the jacket muslin is … More Two Muslins and Other Thoughts

Waving the White Flag

October 9, 2012

Ok, McCall’s 6035, you win.  After 8 months, 4 muslins, and 1 break down, I give up.  You win.  I wave the white flag.  I sadly thought that good reviews and cup sizing would be enough to bring you to my side.  It was not. Ok, you win.  This time around, anyway. So in favor … More Waving the White Flag

Book Review: Tim Gunn’s Fashion Bible

September 24, 2012

This year I have taken Tim Gunn as my style inspiration, formulating my sewing plans around Tim’s essential wardrobe items.  As such, I thought it would also be good to read the books Tim has written about fashion and style – A Guide to Quality, Taste, and Style and Gunn’s Golden Rules – and now his latest … More Book Review: Tim Gunn’s Fashion Bible

Another Simplicity 2369

September 16, 2012

I was so excited by my first attempt at Simplicity 2369 that I decided to go ahead and make another one right away.  And, since I really like the results, both of these garments are going to satisfy requirements for my year-long sewing challenge.  In my first go-round I made the tunic top, view C. … More Another Simplicity 2369
