Blue Ginger Doll Anne + Violet
I had intended this to be my entry for the Blue Ginger Doll #getyourkniton contest, but didn’t get it posted even remotely close to the deadline. I ended up with a casual dress I really like though, so I still win. I’ve had this strange novelty knit fabric in my stash for several…

Lady Skater Dress: With Lace Fabric Upgrade
Nothing groundbreaking here. Just another Lady Skater Dress. This is a pattern I’ve made several times before, but this one is still special. From my stash, the main fabric is a lovely, heavy cotton-y lace printed up in some of my favorite colors to wear, black, several unapologetic pinks, and various beige-tan-taupe shades. The bodice…

Cake Red Velvet Clutch: In Velvet
One of the Stash-busting challenges this month was to use the oldest fabric in the stash. At first I didn’t think I’d be able to do this one, since I’ve been collecting fabric for a really long time, but then I reconsidered. The whole point of participating in a challenge is for it to have…

Jungle January 2015
I’m barely squeaking in at the last minute here, but I did get a Jungle January project done and got some pictures to turn out. Anne has hosted this party for 3 years now and having participated the first 2 times, I didn’t want to miss out. I was originally inspired by a couple of Pinterest…

Tenterhook Patterns: Jacaranda Dress Beta Version
Before I get into the project I want to show here, I feel like I need to put it out there that I have come to the realization that the pairing of shirt with skirt in my last post was not a good idea. Neither me nor my new skirt were done justice in that…

#Sewcialists Grease Theme: Tell Me More
Last month’s Sewcialist theme was inspired by the movie “Grease”. What an awesome reason to finally finish up that UFO that I started about 2 years ago. That’s right, my pink jean jacket didn’t start out as an intentionally Grease-themed “Pink Ladies” jacket. I just happen to really, really like pink which leads me to…

Optical Delusions 3 Piece Set
No stripes were harmed in the making of this set, but if you are prone to seizures, you may want to avert your eyes before it is too late. I had bought this fabric with the intention of making it into a set with at least 3 pieces. My original plan was dress, skirt, jacket…

Tania Culottes/Nettie Bodysuit: I Love My Legs
Ever since Megan Nielsen released her Tania Culottes pattern, I’ve been curious to make a pair for myself. Like many separates patterns though, I had trouble visualizing what top I would wear with them. When Heather Lou released the Nettie bodysuit, then, it seemed like the perfect match. I planned to put these two together…

A Trio of Lady Skaters
Back at the beginning of summer, I made a couple of Lady Skater dresses for everyday wear. I had suddenly decided I had a significant lack of snake-print in my closet, so I bought this navy blue ITY knit. I added a few inches to the skirt length of the lady skater pattern, just like…
