Hello! Today on Simply Saturday I’ll be sharing some of the steps I took in making a dress, which was my latest sewing project. (And you may remember I posted something about the making of the mock-up a couple of weeks ago. I’ll link to that here.) Well, after finishing up that mock up and liking the result, I decided…
Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at my process of drafting a bodice pattern. Let’s get started! The first step in the process (for me at least) was to lay out the shape that I wanted using ribbon. Then I filled in the shapes with scraps of material. Those scraps of material then had to be…
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…
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! This is the first outfit that I put together using my recently altered skirt (I’ll put a link to those sewing posts here and here.) I don’t normally tuck in my shirts, since usually I feel like it’s…
Hello again! Today on Modest Monday we’ll be taking a look at an outfit featuring a tiered skirt and green shirt. Let’s go! I just recently purchased this skirt, and I’m having a little trouble figuring out how to style it. Even with this outfit I wasn’t entirely satisfied with how it looked (but there comes a point where you…
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.) Starting right off where I left off last week: The next step was to figure out how much smaller I needed to make the bottom skirt portion. If I’m…
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…
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…
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,…
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,…
