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 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…
Once upon a time my roommate and I went a bit fangirl over Downtown Abbey and decided to go to a party put on by the local NPR affiliate that was Downton Abbey themed. So of course, I made a dress for it. It’s a reworked Louisa Drop Waist Dress from the book BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage…
I saw this Fabric last week at Grey’s Fabric and Notions, where I go for a Wednesday night sewing club (I know what you’re thinking, how do I pack so many thrills into my life??). It called out to me from the bolt. If you’re wondering what does the fox say ,I can tell you…
I resisted the Lady Skater for a long time. I saw many beautiful versions of it all over the internet, but that swingy skirt is just not for me. I have one silhouette and that is pencil. There is no fit and flare. Only fit and fit. I digress…. I found this sweater knit at…
Thank god for stretch velvet! I made this skirt in about an hour. I didn’t have a pattern for a stretch pencil skirt but I figured it couldn’t be that hard, and I used this tutorial. It was really fun and easy- you just take your measurements and then draw a rectangle with the length…
I wrote this whole post before I even wore the dress to the event, and was just waiting to plug some final product pictures into and post it up. I didn’t manage to get any good pictures at the gala itself. I decided to just take some pictures when I got home, but then well….things…
December has been rough. Last week I arrived home for the holidays and was looking forward to spending the week at home- hanging out, catching up, and- most importantly – sewing with my mom. We got home from the airport and I went straight to bed, excited for the morning so I could show her…
