Homemade Marshmallow Eggs – No Corn Syrup

June 12, 2020June 15, 2020 / Kitty/ 1 Comment

For as long as I can remember, chocolate-covered marshmallow eggs have always been included in our Easter baskets. In recent years, however, I’ve begun more and more to notice a bit of an off-taste in a lot of store-bought things, and marshmallow eggs were one of them. Still, even though I have a recipe for marshmallows in a cookbook, I …

Maroon Brocade – My First Real Corset

May 12, 2020June 24, 2021 / Kitty/ 1 Comment

After my previous corset attempt in 2017, a year later I decided to try again. This time I started with a real corset pattern: the Cupid corset. This is a beautiful pattern, and it came with a booklet that included a materials list, fabric suggestions, how to pick a size, tips on altering a corset, pattern notes, assembly tips, and …

My First Corset Attempt

April 5, 2020June 24, 2021 / Kitty/ 1 Comment

I love corsets. I love the way they look, especially over a dress or light blouse. Ever since learning to sew, a corset top was something that was on my list of things to make. After making my white fitted blouse that fit me so well, I decided to use the same pattern from PatternLab to make my first corset. …

Workout Wear – Tank Top and Shorts/Skirt

March 18, 2020April 6, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

For some time I have been thinking about making myself a workout outfit. I already decided that I wanted a tank top with shorts, but I hadn’t yet found the right patterns. After I made my Christmas dress last year, it suddenly occurred to me to try to use the same pattern for my workout wear. For the tank top, …

Simple Card Pouch – Free Crochet Pattern

March 9, 2020April 6, 2020 / Kitty/ Leave a comment

Last year when I took a trip to a different city with my family, I had a hotel card key that I needed to carry. However, my clothes didn’t have any pockets, and I didn’t want to be carrying my purse with me everywhere I went, whether to the beach, walking around the city, or just staying at the hotel. …

Ribbed Crochet Scarf – Free Pattern

March 2, 2020April 6, 2020 / Kitty/ 1 Comment

Here is the scarf to match the Ribbed Crochet Hat I made for my boyfriend. The pattern couldn’t be simpler; just alternating front and back post double crochet stitches that create a ribbed design reminiscent of knit. This is even easier than the hat, as it is just a long rectangle without any increases. It can be done any width …

White Fitted Blouse AKA The First Blouse That Really Fit Me

February 23, 2020May 12, 2021 / Kitty/ 6 Comments

When I first learned to sew, I didn’t have any sewing patterns. Instead I drafted pattern blocks for my measurements using an instruction booklet that I’d picked up somewhere. The instructions were sparse, and the pattern pieces never fit me well at all. After the initial test I would adjust and adjust and end up with pattern block after pattern …

It seems like hearts are on everybody’s mind right now. On that note, here is a lovely, heart-themed accessory that is super quick to work up. These would be perfect as a gift for a cherished friend or family member, or something nice for yourself. I used Red Heart With Love in Bubblegum for the pink trim. Since I wasn’t …

Introducing my first ever crochet pattern! It is a super simple pattern I created for my boyfriend when he asked me to crochet him a hat with alpaca yarn.
