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…
Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday we’ll be exploring some sewing tips from decades past. Let’s get started! This book (if you couldn’t already tell) is from the seventies. I saw it at a thrift store a couple of days ago, and just had to pick it up. And also laugh a little at the title, because it was definitely not…
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…
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…
Hello! Today I’ll be going a little out of order and showing the finished product of my last Simply Saturday post. (I say out of order because there are still two or three “in the making” posts to explain how I made it that need to be written.) In other words, my new long denim skirt, styled. Let’s get started!…
Hello again! Today I’ll be talking about the first steps I took in making one of my latest sewing projects: a long denim skirt. Let’s get started! I used the same pattern as this skirt, only the long version. Here’s a link to the pattern, which is made by Marie Madeline Studios. Before I started cutting out pieces from my…
Hello! Today I’ll be sharing some of the sewing project I’ve been working on recently. Plus a little about sewing with a dress form. Let’s get started! Here you can see both the project and something I’ve been excited about: a dress form! I received it as a Christmas gift a few weeks ago. I haven’t had too much time…
Hello again! Today on Modest Monday I thought I’d take a look at some past posts here on the blog. I’ll be sharing my top 5 outfits of the Autumn. Let’s get started! (Oh, and these outfits aren’t in any particular order as far as how much I liked them.) Outfit #1: This outfit I wore back in September, just…
Hello! Today I’m finally sharing photos of what my plaid jumper actually looks like being worn. (I’ll leave a link to the sewing posts about the jumper here and here.) Let’s get started! And here it is! I actually really like how it turned out. My favorite part? The POCKETS! I was probably annoying my family because I kept pointing…
Hello! Here we are again with the second part of last Saturday’s post, Finished: A Plaid Jumper. Let’s get started! So, as I was looking up the photos I’d taken to use for this blog post, I realized I hadn’t taken as many as I thought I had. This post will be a little disjointed as a result, but I’ll…
