I have had this pattern for-ev-er! It looks like they are finally discontinuing in, so Im guessing its no longer available in stores. I really liked the ruffled collar version, but it would have been...
I have finally jumped on the maxi dress trend, 2+ years after it began. They looked like theyd be hot, especially here in Texas. Also I like my legs and maxi dresses completely hide them. But this pa...
I normally dont post my wadders anymore because I am just not that inspired by seeing other peoples wadders. And really, getting inspired by other seamstresses is most of why I enjoy reading sewing b...
Lately I feel like I dont have much to wear. Oh I have pretty dresses and skirts - which I do wear - but not a whole lot of everyday stuff. Most of my summer go-tos have been packed away because they...
This awesome design came out a few years back. I found it really interesting and loved the draped front bodice and interesting design lines. You may recall that I attempted this pattern back in...
Do you have any idea how much it pleases me to have made something in silk that I actually like? And in a fabric that Ive been saving for something special? Of course it helps that this is my TNT str...
I honestly bought this pattern for view D, which I made last October. I never intended to make view B because, although I loved the shaped yoke and contrast binding, I didnt think the tulip shape wou...
Whew, it has been a busy week! We are having some work done on our house and it is completely ripped apart. Construction dust is everywhere and I keep finding nails and other debris laying around wai...
Howdy! So, its been over a month since I last posted anything because I have had a TON of wadders in a row. Like 5 or so, including a knitting wadder (those are the worst!) I then decided to make a T...
If you will recall, mixed material clothing was item #5 in my fall/winter must haves list. First I made the Johathan Saunders knock-off dress in leather and wool. Now Ive completed my second garment ...
Ive been stalking the Vogue website waiting anxiously for these. The posing for this set of designs is a little weird and kind of obscures the clothing in certain pictures. Is Vogue consulting with B...
This months magazine has some truly awesome dresses among the offerings so I had to purchase another single issue.Up first is tunic 108 A. Its a typical Burda design that Ive seen before, but the thi...
This is my first try at the Oliver + S pattern line. I actually own 7 of their patterns but havent been able to use them thus far since the size ranges start at 6-12 months. Rachel is 16 months old, ...
Ive loved this jacket since the issue came out over 3 years ago. You may remember I attempted it before, but chose the wrong fabric. This time around I used a very nice silk suiting from Fabricmartfa...
Last week I received 2 fun things in the mail on the same day and squealed with joy. The first was my copy of Vogue Patterns magazine February/March issue. I love this magazine. They have awesome art...
Heres the outfit I made to wear to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert we attended on December 22. They play rock music so I wanted something a little edgy but Christmas-y too.These 2 fabrics were b...
I have had these overalls completed for at least 2 weeks but havent gotten them posted until now because:1. Im in some sort of blogging funk and dont feel like it.2. This garment attracts SO MUCH lin...
I told you last month Id be purchasing the magazine for December as well. If you are interested in where I get them, I order from GLP International. They charge $10 per issue, and thats with the ship...
I saw a picture of this Johathan Saunders dress on Michelle Obama months ago and absolutely adored it. The mixture of fabrics really resonated with me, and I knew I wanted to make something similar.H...
Yeah. I ordered another one. And I really like the looks of the December issue too. Now I am thinking about re-subscribing. But you can bet the minute I do they will go back to pillow-cases-posing-as...
This is one of the new fall Vogues that I liked because I saw other women wearing the same style and found it surprisingly flattering. Plus I loved the neckline, reglan sleeves and interesting expose...
The weather has cooled off here in Texas and I decided to wear this dress for the first time today for church. It didnt fit last year because I was nursing my baby, but now is just right.I took out t...
Bow blouses are hot right now, and this was trend #1 on my fall/winter must sew list. To be honest with you, I never even noticed this pattern until I saw this review for it on Patternreview.com. The...
Heres what my boys went as this year:Nathan was a magician. We bought the hat, wand, bowtie and gloves off Amazon.com, but the cape was made by me several years ago. I really need to make another one...

This is the cutest thing Ive ever made for Rachel. Not that Ive made her that many things yet, mostly because shes been so tiny and Ive not wanted the headache of redrafting patterns. You can see the...
Hello! It has been a few weeks since Ive posted anything because Ive had several wadders in a row. However, this skirt turned out really well, probably because I made a muslin. Also because I really ...
The new winter Vogues have been released, much to my surprise. I thought they would send out the magazine first, like with the fall ones. I wasnt even stalking the website. Anyway, I am trying to be ...
Look what arrived in my mailbox last week:Love this issue! There are a ton of styles I can see myself in, a few of which I previously blogged about. BTW, I ordered this single issue directly from GLP...
This pattern was not in my original picks from the Vogue fall pattern offerings. I loved the other Tracy Reese dress with the front twist and wasnt sure I needed another similar dress. Then I looked ...
