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…
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…
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…
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…
Today’s topic is a little different than usual: dyeing a dress! Let’s get right into it. Here is the dress in question. It’s actually the dress I wore for my graduation ceremony (and photoshoot) last year. White isn’t really a color I look good in, so after those two events the dress has sat unworn in my closet. Well, that…
Hello again! Today I’ll be sharing a comfy, casual outfit. It’s been a while since I’ve posted one. 🙂 This outfit may not be very exciting, but the lighting is pretty enough to make up for that. 😉 Anyway, back to the post. I wore this outfit last week, but I started wearing this particular combination a few months ago….
Hello again! Today I have another skirt project to share with you. Here we have the skirt I altered. (Unfortunately, I forgot to take a “before” picture until I had already cut the skirt and started to gather the top. You can still see what the skirt previously looked like, I hope, in the one I did take.) I’ve done…
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…
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…
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…
