Patterned Maxi with Denim

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit featuring a patterned maxi with denim. Let’s get started! Somehow all of these photos turned out a little awkward looking.

Making a Pocketed Denim Skirt

Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at making a pocketed denim skirt. Let’s get started! You may recognize this as the pattern I used for this jumper, and this one, too. I pretty much followed it exactly; Except for with this project I avoided the confusing bodice pieces and used only the skirt part. After all,…

Newly-altered Shirt and Patchwork Denim

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit which includes both my newly-altered shirt and patchwork Denim Skirt. Let’s begin!

Handmade Shirt and Skirt

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at a handmade shirt and skirt. Let’s get started! You might recognize this skirt as the one I wore in this post.

Denim Jumper and Jellypops

Today on Modest Monday I’ll be sharing an outfit that features both a denim jumper and Jellypops. Let’s get started! You might think that this jumper looks a little familiar.

Sewing a Denim Skirt: The Final Steps

Hello! Today we’ll be looking at sewing a denim skirt, the final steps. I’ll link to the first two posts here and here. Let’s get started! I have kind of a love-hate relationship with installing zippers. Sometimes it’s easy and turns out great. Sometimes it’s just the opposite. 😉 Lately, however, I have been trying to get more confident in…

Sewing a Denim Skirt: The Waistband

Hello! Today on “Sewing a Denim Skirt”, I’ll be showing how I altered the waistband to make it work for my skirt. Oh, and if you’re wondering why the waistband had to be altered, take a look at this post. Let’s get started! The first thing I did in the alteration process was a little math. I had to calculate…

Long Denim Skirt, Styled

Hello! Today I’ll be going a little out of order and showing the finished product of my last Simply Saturday post. (I say out of order because there are still two or three “in the making” posts to explain how I made it that need to be written.) In other words, my new long denim skirt, styled. Let’s get started!…

Denim and Mustard Dress

Hello! Today on Modest Monday I have a combination of denim and mustard (the color, of course 😉 ). Let’s get started! These photos were actually taken last spring. Somehow they never made it onto the blog. Until now, that is. I did wear this same combination just a week or two ago, so it’s still something I’d wear. 🙂…
