Denim Skirt Alteration

Hello again! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at a denim skirt alteration. Let’s get started! This is the skirt I started out with. As you can see, it’s a little strange looking. The asymmetrical details where the gathered material met the smooth material really wasn’t a good look. So I decided to change that. I started…

Chronicles of Avonlea

Hello again! Today on Reading Wednesday we’ll be taking a look at an offshoot of the Anne of Green Gables series, Chronicles of Avonlea. Let’s get started! Oh, and I’ve already written about the Anne of Green Gables series here, if you want to check that out as well. I found this book at a used book sale for only…

Flowered Shirt and a Brown Maxi

Hello again! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit featuring a flowered shirt and a brown maxi. Let’s get started! With this outfit (which I wore to church) I tried a combination I’d never done before. In fact, I’d never actually worn the skirt before! I liked it, although it is a little shorter than…

Altering a Knit Skirt: Part Two

Hello! Today on Simply Saturday I’ll be sharing altering a knit skirt: part two. Let’s get started! And I’ll link to the first part of the process here. Where we left off last week, I was just figuring out the excess material that needed to be cut off of the skirt. In the photo above you can see where I…

The Starlore Legacy

Hello again! Today on Reading Wednesday I have another book series to recommend: The Starlore Legacy. Let’s get started! This series was written by Chuck Black, who also wrote some of the other series I recommended here on the blog. I’ll link to those posts here and here. The Starlore Legacy, as it says on Chuck Black’s website, is “a…

Handmade Circle Skirt and Heels

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit that features a handmade circle skirt and heels. Let’s get started! This skirt is actually a half circle skirt, but that’s just a technicality. 😉 Somehow I didn’t take any photos of the sewing of this skirt, so it won’t be making a Simply Saturday appearance. But,…

Altering a Knit Skirt

Today (even as late in the day as it is) I thought I’d still get this post out. Let’s get started with altering a knit skirt! I decided to alter this skirt, since it’s a little tight as it is, and also has this really weird ruching on the left side. I’m not sure what the point of that is,…

Learn to Draw in a Weekend

Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday I’ll be recommending a book that’s a little different than what I’ve been posting recently: Learn to draw in a weekend! Oh, and in case you were wondering why there was no Modest Monday post this week: since it was Independence Day, I was pretty busy and wasn’t able to write one. Hopefully I’ll be…
