Spring Outfit for Church

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at a spring outfit for church. More specifically, what I wore to church yesterday. 🙂 Let’s get started! With this outfit, I wanted something bright. Cue this very bright shirt, which I’ve posted previously here and here. I felt like I’d been wearing a lot of dark colors, and with…

How to make a T-shirt

Or rather, how to make a t-shirt if you already made a pattern. 😉 We’ll have to work on that. But, this in indeed the post I hinted at on a Modest Monday post a few weeks ago. I started out with this (super wrinkled) knit dress. It had holes in it, so it couldn’t really be worn as a…

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! The shirt from this outfit was the subject of my last Simply Saturday post, and I posted about the making of the skirt here and here. For this outfit I wanted something simple and easy…

Altering a Shirt to be Modest

Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at altering a shirt to be modest. Let’s get started! The shirt in question: one that has an especially big v-neck. Now, could I just wear a tank top with it? Yes. But, why would I do that when I can just sew in a panel and make it so…

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. Ever since I made it, it’s quickly become one of my favorite skirts, handmade or otherwise. And, as it happens, I also made the shirt! (Keep an eye…

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. That’s because I made another jumper, using the same pattern, last year. I’ll link to that post here. I actually like this denim one much better than the green one….

Making Skirts out of Shirts

Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be talking about making skirts out of shirts. Let’s get started! Well, in this case, it’s not a shirt, it’s the top part of a dress that was cut down into a dress and–you get the idea. And it’s not a skirt for myself, but for my two-year-old niece. I made another one for…

Red For Valentine’s Day

It may be a little early, but people wear red for Valentine’s day, right? Let’s get started! Yesterday we braved the cold in order to get pictures outside. Not after trying several indoor locations, without much success, however. 😉 With this outfit, I suppose I just felt like wearing a lot of red. Oh, and I had also just made…

Blue Dress, Revisited.

Hello! Today the topic is a blue dress, revisited. (I’ll link to the first post with it here.) Let’s get started! Now, you might notice that these photos are indoors and dark. I do apologize for that, but it was way too cold to take photos without a jacket on outside! If you follow the link to the first post…

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…
