Sewing Projects :: Winter Playland Part 1

Xavier (the traveling hairy-eared dwarf lemur) skiing I say part one because at some point in the future I plan on making a jacket to go with these pants. I ran out of time before my recent ski trip and now that it is the 3rd week in March, I'm... Read more →

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 :: Retro tops!

w, 3 months since I posted last! Honestly, I just hate taking pictures of myself, which is why I never post things. It hasn't seemed like a busy summer, but I guess it has been a bit. Our new cat, Augustus, died while I was on an away job in... Read more →

Sewing Projects :: Object d'Art

Such laziness in photographing and blogging my recent makes. No real excuses except work and laziness :P I wore this one to go out to lunch on my aunt's b-day, so I grabbed a few pictures before leaving the house! Decades of Style :: Object d'Art This was a fun... Read more →

Sewing Projects :: 20's Mashup!

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 :: Who wears pyjamas to the beach?

Not me! Well, once I finish the outfit, I'll totally take it to the beach. I think I'll do a photo shoot there. I've become obsessed with 20's-30's beach/lounge pyjamas lately. I don't know why, I don't usually do wide leg pants, and I've never even been into 20's styles.... 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 :: Vintage Pattern Pledge :: Slip

The dream must end. I'm heading back to work on Monday and so before my life turns back into nothing but work and commute, I'd thought I'd get this post up. I haven't worked in 2 months, so I can't really complain. It has been glorious, but I'm also ready... Read more →

Sewing Projects :: Comfy Cosy

As we are in the midst of yet another blizzard here in the northeast US, I thought it an appropriate time to post this comfort-wear. A super soft, comfortable, oversized, and probably unflattering blanket coat. I'm totally in love with it. The pattern is thanks to the amazing VeraVenus. She... Read more →
