Sewing Projects :: Dress Like Your Grandmother Challenge : Post 1

Fun times! Who knows if I'll finish in time for the challenge, but I just love the idea all the same. I don't know where my father's pictures are, he probably doesn't either, but I pulled out all the old family photos of my mom's and had a fabulous time... Read more →

Sewing Projects :: Christmas dress #2

Not nearly as fun as my Star Wars dress, but still, another Christmas dress! There are threads of sparkle in the plaid which makes it more festive too :) I've been working on this one for ages, as usually happens with vintage patterns. I'm glad I started early. After copying,... Read more →

Sewing Projects :: The 12 days after Christmas still count, right?

Really, one of the best things about Christmas are all the festive outfits! After that it is just boring old winter clothes. It's been unseasonably cold this year, so I haven't gotten to wear all the outfits I planned, but whatever. I managed to make two Christmas dresses this year... Read more →

This dress got moved up in the posting queue because I like how my hair turned out :) Check out those waves! I still need a bit of practice, but it's fun. This is a bit of a mash up, the bodice is a 1920's reproduction gown, and the skirt... Read more →

Sewing Projects :: Legolas never runs out of arrows

Butterick 5281 I've had this one done for a while, but while I was taking pictures of it a few days ago, a little thing that had bothered me while making it bothered me enough for me to rip the thing apart and change it. While making it, I made... Read more →

Sewing Projects :: A red riding hood wardrobe!

Geez, I have an entire summer worth of sewing to post up here! I don't know what I've been doing other than working and traveling! Well, I managed to finish a dress and a shirt both made out of different red riding hood quilting fabrics at the same time. I... Read more →

Sewing Projects :: Free bird

I'm back from vacation! I haven't done any sewing, then again, I've only been back for like, 10 days. Seems like forever. Probably because I started working the day after I got back. Have to make up all that money I spent in Scotland! I've started going through my pictures,... Read more →

Sewing Projects :: Dozy Doats

Get it? Does eat oats. It has deer on it and it is a blatant copy of the Deer&Doe Sureau pattern which I couldn't afford at the time and knew I could make myself. I was talking to a friend the other day and he when he asked if I... Read more →
