Hey everyone....sorry if I'm dominating a bit around here.  If it gets to be too much please let me know!  I just want to be sure I share with you all because I've been part of the community here for a really long time, and you all have inspired me through my journey to the point I'm at now where I'm including fashion and such in my blog ( Read more... )

Hi! I haven't worn pants very often in a while, but I've been looking at tutorials for making wrap pants and eyeing my sewing machine. (I don't have tons of garment sewing experience, but the patterns look simple enough!) I'm remembering that my jeans wore out in the thighs from chub rub, and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations (or anti- ( Read more... )

This year I did two costumes, one for a last minute party and the other for Halloween.

Links on Ravelry or anywhere else is great, I'd prefer a ( Read more... )

Hey all!! In my recent quest to clean my room, I found t-shirts. Lots and lots of t-shirts. All of which are a men's large or extra large, with sleeves down to my forearms, restricting crew necks, and a general air of sloppyness. I have searched the internet for t-shirt reconstruction help, and have found tons of ideas. But I did notice one ( Read more... )

I tend more and more lately to wear a petticoat underneath my dresses (and since I wear not a dress about once a month these days, that's alot of petticoat wearage). Until last week, I only had one petticoat, a thrift store find from the end of halloween season last year. So, I decided to make myself another, then write up a tutorial of the ( Read more... )

One of my goals this year is to become a better sewer (sewist?). I'm in the process of making a dress from a vintage pattern, and I PROMISE I'm working on that too, but it is really slow going, what with the tracing the pattern out and adjusting the size up to fit me... so I thought I'd try something a little simpler ( Read more... )
