Polka Dot Maxi

Hello again! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at a polka dot maxi I wore recently. Let’s get started! This outfit was a little different than what I usually wear, but I actually really liked it! (I’ve worn this dress once before, but as a skirt. I’ll link to that post here.) I put this outfit together…

Tucked-in Shirt and Denim

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit featuring a tucked-in shirt and denim. Let’s get started!

Denim Skirt Alteration: Part Two

Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at a Denim Skirt Alteration: Part Two. Let’s get started! (Oh, and I’ll leave a link to the first part here.)

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.

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,…

Altering a Skirt

Hello! Today on Simply Saturday I’ll be sharing a quick little project I did yesterday: altering a skirt. Let’s get started! Here is the skirt in question (pardon the wrinkles 😉 ). I liked the skirt, but it was an awkward length. The obvious answer to that? Alter it! The first step of altering a skirt is finding out what…

Polka Dot Dress

Hello! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit I wore to church recently, a polka dot dress. Let’s get started! This dress was a recent find at a thrift store.

My Sewing Process

Hello! Today we’ll be doing something a little different; taking a look at my sewing process when it comes to trying out new ideas. Let’s get started! Also, please excuse the two-second drawings. 😉 I drew these illustrations so that you could (hopefully) see what I have in mind. The first photo is what I imagined the front of the…

How to Make a T-shirt: Part Two

Hello, on this rainy, wet, Simply Saturday! Today we’ll be taking a look at How to Make a T-shirt: Part Two. Let’s get started! (Oh, and I’ll link to the first part here.) Last week we left off right before sewing the side seams. As you can see, I did those with a serger. And that machine, I might add,…
