Sewing and Such
I'm back to the Geranium Dress. It's just such a great pattern, and it fits my girl so well. I really love the simplicity and the sweet shape of the bodice and skirt. My goodness, don't look at those boots!!! She loves puddles...oh, and that's not a rat, that's my dog...he loves puddles too apparently. …

I do enjoy a good cowl. It breaks up the monotony of a t-shirt and makes a comfy top look professional enough to wear to work. It's also a quick project I can make when I'm feeling like I have nothing to wear to work that day! It all comes down to this lately for …
I love cardigans and sweaters. It's like librarian uniform. It's in my DNA. Do you remember that show Felicity and all those sweaters? Yeah, me too. I'm sure it comes as no surprise that when the Julia Cardigan by Mouse House Creations made its rounds in the blogging world I was drooling all over my phone …
I am so behind in posting and keeping track of my makes. I have some really fun ones too! How to make more time in my day????? Anyway... After sewing a wearable muslin for Butterick 6856, I decided to make another one to add to my capsule wardrobe. I was gifted some black linen type …
The first time I saw this top, I couldn't believe it was a pattern by See Kate Sew. I thought I had seen all of her patterns (if I remember correctly, I bought my first pdf pattern from her Garden Party collection) and would've definitely noticed this one. It's the City Girl Top and Frock, …
I've been wanting to sew a dress like this for a long time. When I saw 1 Puddle Lane was pattern testing the Miss Ruby Tuesday knit dress, I knew this was the push I needed to get off my rump! This pattern really is amazing! The options blew me away, seriously. There's 5 sleeve …
I really enjoy making something that I know someone will love to receive. There's nothing worse (well I'm sure there is!) than spending time making something and when you give it to the recipient, you're not really sure you should've even bothered! My mom always loves what I make for her, so I decided to make …
Yup, it's not you, I'm blurry. I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to the Washi dress! I've long admired the ones I've seen, but I just couldn't seem to get to it... Until I saw Made By Rae's rayon challis version!!! I've been sitting on some rayon challis for awhile and …
As you know I've made a pledge to sew up 5 garments using vintage patterns this year. Up to this point I've sewn up one, so I figured I should get moving on another one already! I decided I wanted to sew up a skirt since all I've been sewing up are tops, and I …
I'm in love with the Casual Lady pattern! I just want to keep making these! The first top I made was a size small, according to my measurements. I wanted to make a muslin first, so I found some super cheap jersey blend knit fabric at JoAnn's for like $2. It's really cute white with …
