I wish I could say that this was the last week of MMM’12, but May is a sneaky little month that manages to have 5 weeks crammed into it. So here’s to week 4 – we’re, uh, 4/5th...
Hey! We haven’t discussed knitting in a while, huh? I must admit, after spending 3 months knitting up my Agatha sweater, I thought it was time to take it easy for a few weeks. Also, my yarn bud...
I don’t even know if I can legitimately call this the Taffy blouse. I mean, yeah, I used the pattern pieces for the front & back… and I cut the front on the bias. That’s about w...
Sorry for the radio silence this week, peepz. I have been house/dog sitting since Thursday night, which means I have not had access to my sewing machine for almost a week! I opted to not bring it wit...
My birthday is a week from today (hands up if you’re a May Baby too!), which means I spent the better part of this morning cultivating the perfect wish list. I LOVE making wish lists, the lurki...
I know what you’re thinking – two posts in one day? Is the world really in the process of ending? Is Jesus coming back (no, actually, that was supposed to happen last May, except we all k...
For the past couple of months, Casey & myself have been in cahoots with a swap we were planning. It started with me offering her my copy of Simplicity 5148 (which – can we just agree that t...
I’m no stranger to little indie pattern companies – I loveeee Colette & Sewaholic patterns, and I LOVE when I can get away with not buying current Big 4 patterns (yeah! Stickin’...
Yay! It’s done, it’s done, it’s done! Those of you who follow me on Twitter or lurk the MMM Flickr Pool have already seen this picture… I snapped it right before I left for a ...
Holy cow, is it Friday already? Where did the week go? Time for a round-up of the first week of Me-Made-May! I wanted to put these in a cute little collage, but since Picnik died & left me all al...
Hey-o! I’m not quite finished with my Bombshell yet (only one video left! ::sob::), but I thought we could discuss some of the inner workings that are going on inside this monster of a dress. I...
I’m still slogging away on my Bombshell dress – although right now it appears to be more of a bed than anything: More on that later! Today, we will talk about my newest recon. I actually ...
I consider Vogue pattern releases something of a holiday. In the past, it was a day filled with awe & delight, mental math & frantic list-making. In the present, it’s a day filled with ...
So… Me Made May. I didn’t originally intend on signing up for this endeavor, mostly because it’s not really a huge challenge for me – I wear everything I make, very regularly....
Fair warning: There are a lot of pictures in this post. Can you blame me? I’m so proud of my little wool baby! I guess there’s not much more to say, since I’ve documented most of th...
When I posted my Floral Minidress, I got the most shit-flipping in regards to the turquoise belt I was wearing. I don’t blame anyone for this – it’s an awesome belt. Lots of people ...
I’m putting a temporary hold on the majority of my projects so I can concentrate on sewing up my birthday dress – I have a little over a month, so time should not be an issue here. I don&...
See also: Sewing to soften a bad mood. I made these shorts last night (well, cut the pattern & sewed the pockets down on Tuesday evening, if we’re being totally honest here), the Renfrew wa...
Ladies (and gentlemen?), we have two sleeves! I am so pleased with myself, you have no idea. I had to crop my head out of this one because I was making a total derp face, but check out those neat dec...
I know I have this labeled as a “sundress,” but we’re just gonna go with minidress because… this shit is itty-bitty. I used McCall’s 2185 to make this up. The fabric is ...
I actually don’t think this dress is tacky at all – I think it’s kind of kitschy & cute! Landon however, hates the fabric – “that looks like a set of curtains my mot...
Well, what ya look at that? My sweater has a sleeve! Sleeves are awesome! I think it’s safe to say I’ve got a pretty good handle on knitting in the round. I still have some areas I would ...
Damn, y’all. I know I was all pumped about getting my Spring & Summer wardrobe‘s ass whipped into shape, but I didn’t realize I was going to rip through it so fast. WOE IS ME, W...
And another one down! I don’t remember if I mentioned this or not, but I picked up this silk turquoise skirt at my favorite thrift store about a month ago – at half off, it was $2. And it...
Hi everyone! Apologies for my bout of silence all week – I found myself feeling ill early in the week, and regulated myself to crafts that involved sitting on the couch with little to no concen...
TIME FOR A CONFESSION. The Leopard Wrap Dress? Well, first of all – it’s cheetah, not leopard. Oops! I still like the fabric, though! Secondly, it would appear that my wrap dress is actua...
Well you guys, I defeated the Pastille pattern! Wheeeee me! I actually feel pretty good about this dress – I wasn’t totally crazy about it when I saw the pictures in the book (I think the...
I actually was not planning on making one of these posts – considering I have a sweet swatch/planning board – but I’ve been admiring all the pretty planning posts across the web (I&...
It would seem that I am not the only one in the massive sewing blogosphere who has had a serious drop in sewing mojo recently. This happens to me from time to time, and I can’t help but get ang...
Ok, ok – ONE more jab at this pattern! Who is sick of looking at my butt in Clovers yet? Technically, I guess, these are the finished version of my polyester wearable muslin, so do they really ...
