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.

First Outfit of Spring

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at my first outfit of spring! (Meaning: the outfit I wore on the first day of spring, of course. 😉 ) Let’s get started!

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…

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…

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.
