Times have been a bit tough over at the Crafty Foxes Sewing Club of late. Not only is Sarah Grey moving away to the wild wilderness of Michigan (on the map I’m pretty sure it’s just labeled “thar be quilt shops”). But we are also losing our other favorite Sarah to a new job down south. I…
Lace crop top trend, I am on to you. Top: me made, Shorts: me made Katy & Laney Tap Shorts, Sunglasses: thrifted, Pin: vintage, Farm: Clark Brother’s Orchards (and I’m a Clark, kiddos. I didn’t rent a farm for the photoshoot ala every urban outfitters catalogue ever. But then again, don’t tell my uncle or he might start…
Hello hello, Happy Monday! In honor of the start of the work week I’d like to share with you all a brand new make that I love SO MUCH that I’ve already worn it 3 different times since I made it. Which was less than 7 days ago. But ah….different cardigan, different outfit amIright? Dress:…
Hey guys, I’m so, so excited to introduce these tap shorts. When Katy and Laney introduced this pattern at Crafty Foxes Sewing Club I was pretty intrigued, because when summer comes around there’s nothing I love more than a pair of high waisted shorts. When Katy said they needed pattern testers, I was all in! The…
I know I am so late to this party, but I saw Moonrise Kingdom for the first time a couple of weeks ago. What an adorable movie! I have loved Wes Anderson ever since I first saw The Life Aquatic when I was in high school and immediately knit myself a little red cap just…
I think my latest obsession has arrived! Leather, leather, leather. I have been accumulating and hoarding small pieces of leather over the past few months every time I see it on sale. But I was too afraid to dive in and make anything with it until just this week. AND I’M IN LOVE. I cant tell…
Nothing like a quick and easy circle skirt to start your week right. Spring has finally sprung here in Boston, so I’m breaking out the maxis! This one is a 1/4 circle made using Fickle Sense’s tutorial. I’m actually not usually a huge fan of the big flowy skirt, but I think a 1/4…
Julia Bobbin is putting on this great Mad Men Challenge. This is the 3rd year she’s done it, though I didn’t get into Mad Men until this year so I guess I’m woefully behind the times. Joan, of course, is my inspiration. Gotta love those pencil skirts! I’ve been wanting to make a cherry…
I knit this hat using a pattern I bought online from Ravelry– it’s the Illyria Hat by a designer named Bristol Ivy. She has some really cute patterns up there. This is my first time buying a knitting pattern through Ravelry and I was not disappointed. The pattern is a very pretty asymmetrical cable which comes…
Once upon a time I bought an ugly tan coat, and I transformed it into a beautiful red butterfly. The definitive before photos. I found this coat a few weeks ago at a Savers thrift store. It was a pretty amazing trip. My boyfriend came away with an awesome vintage jacket, a pendleton wool…
