Moss Green + Turquoise

Hello! It’s Modest Monday once more. Today I’ll be sharing a casual outfit. I wore this a few weeks ago, and though you can’t tell in the photos, it was way too cold to be wearing short sleeves and no jacket. But, the flowers made such a nice background, I was okay with freezing for a little while. 😉 For…

A Few Odds-n-Ends

Hello! Today I’ll be sharing the various steps I took to repair a few pieces of well-used clothing. The subjects? The above three shirts and tank-top. Please excuse the very wrinkled button-down on the far left… Anyway, these shirts have been sitting in my sewing pile, waiting patiently to be fixed. None of them were beyond repair, but instead were…

The First Look

Hello, how are you on this fine Modest Monday? I wore this outfit to church yesterday. As you can see, I finished the skirt I was working on! It turned out really well, and though I might shorten the hemline a teeny bit (it looks a bit awkward as it is if I wore flats) I’m really happy with it!…

I was actually going to use a different…

A first for me…

Hello! Today I have another alteration to share with you…my first (successful) attempt at taking in a dress! The subject? This very pouffy, large, dress. You can probably tell from the picture that it doesn’t have any particular shape, and it’s about four sizes too big for me. It had been hanging out in my to-be-altered pile until I picked…

Purple Stripes + Denim

Hello again! Here, as promised in the last Modest Monday post, I have a casual outfit to share with you! This is a simple Spring outfit I wore a few weeks ago. Most of the nieces and nephews were over that day, so it was perfect for running around the yard after them! 😉 Details of the outfit: I go…

Simply Sewing

Hello, it’s Simply Saturday! Today I have an easy little project, that I completed a couple of days ago, to share with you. 🙂 This skirt used to be tight, unflattering, and awkwardly lengthed. With a little alteration and time, it’s now a much better fit for me. 🙂 This is the length it used to be. It had been…
