In April of last year, I came across a testing call for this lovely tee by Susanna Biaye of Fosbas Designs. I was thrilled when I was accepted to test for her, and very excited since it also happened to be the first time I ever tested a crochet pattern for a designer. Since I’m posting all my projects on …
Introducing my first skirt pattern: the Golden Autumn Skirt! I made this skirt last year, but it’s taken me a while to get it all written up. I’ve also been debating how and when to release it, and I finally decided to go ahead and publish it on my blog. There’s still some work to do, but later on I’ll …
I suddenly realized it’s June already, and July is not far off. That means it’s time to start making things for the 4th of July. If you already have a flag, you might be looking for some decor in a red, white, and blue theme, and I have just the thing for you. This star coaster is quick to work …
After I made a crochet marshmallow more than a year ago, my little sister kept asking me to make an Oreo cookie. It has taken me forever, but I finally obliged. This is a really simple design: just a few circles stitched together to make a sandwich. After you make the classic Oreos, try making Uh-Oh Oreos using yellow for …
So after finishing the planning stage of this project, I was ready to start sewing. First, the bodice. This took a bit longer than I had planned, because I guess I should have done a bit more planning. First, I cut out the pieces for the bodice and sleeves from pink satin. Because this fabric frays practically just from touching …
So I was working on a different post that I’ve been meaning to finish and publish, but lately I’ve been absorbed in a totally different project. I’ve spent a lot of time on the preliminaries and it’s gone very slowly, but I’m finally to the point where I have everything I need to get started. This post is going to …
I keep trying to get a blogging schedule, but somehow it seems to take so much to post. I just realized that I haven’t posted since February, so it’s been a full two months. Somehow it seems I have so much to do. I also haven’t been doing much for the projects that I had planned. I do have some …
Here is the second dress I made using the vintage Simplicity 8390 pattern. In case you missed it, the first was this green dress. I guess I was sort of on a roll making things from this pattern. When I found this holly fabric in the store, I knew I had to make a dress from it, and this pattern …
My last posts were about the first blouse I made from a real pattern, and then the second one I made from it. Today I’m showing you the next thing I did with that same pattern. I made it into a dress! For this project I chose a dark green cotton poplin. I also got some light green for a …
I know. I was supposed to post about the dress I made using this vintage Simplicity pattern. But I decided to write about this blouse first. The dress will have to wait for the next post. After I made the first blouse with this pattern, I had to make one for my youngest sister. We went shopping for fabric and …
