Oh Kenedy. I’ve learned so much from you. This is the Seamwork Kenedy. Seamwork patterns seem to have a lot of haters (or is it Colette that has the haters? I can never remember.), but either I’ve chosen well or they’re just made for a Petite Font body in mind …
7×7 Mini Capsule Wardrobe Challenge
Feb 27, 2018
Earlier this year, the ladies over at Sew Altered Style challenged the makers of the internet to dive into PANTS. January and February were dedicated to making casual pants. The interpretation of “casual” was left up to the individual maker, so I chose the ultra casual pull-on pants from New …
New Look 6399: The Lounge Pants
Feb 14, 2018
Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m celebrating by rocking my first successful SWAP pattern—AND THEY’RE PANTS! New Look 6399 pants, to be exact. I’ve had so many fails with my multiple attempts at several pieces in this capsule wardrobe that I was so happy when something finally just worked! Who would’ve thought …
Franken Hack the Dress – McCalls 6886 & Friday Patterns Sunny Dresses
Feb 8, 2018
I hear you asking: what is a franken hack? It’s when you take two (or more) patterns and mash them together into a new Frankenstein-esque monster of a me made garment. I had mentioned in my Sunny recap that the best feature of the dress was the hem. Without a …
Cozy Chocolate Brown Sweater – Thread Theory Finlayson
Feb 6, 2018
Another #sewingforhim post! El Husbando has 5 me made pieces, 2 of which were made in just the last 2 weeks. And to borrow from a certain men’s clothier: I like the way he looks! What I’m sure you will notice, which he thankfully didn’t and doesn’t even care about, …
Joggers for Her – Simplicity 8268
Jan 29, 2018
The upside of a unisex pattern is the twofer deal: one for him and one for me. The major upside of fitting into the same size as your husband is using his muslin as your finished piece. For the non-sewist, a muslin is a “practice” piece made to ensure fit. …
Joggers for Him – Simplicity 8268
Jan 26, 2018
When I made my #2018makenine plans, I had two pairs of pants on the list because I really want to learn how to make them. The easiest way to start: by making stretchy unisex sweat pants (or joggers, if you’re fancy). I figured conquering an “easy” pair of pants would …
Game of Thrones-Inspired Fur Cape – New Look 6475
Jan 14, 2018
The path to having a fur cape started back in October when I became a tad bit obsessed with a faux rabbit fur I happened upon at a distant Joann’s. It was on sale, and oh-so-soft! But I simply couldn’t justify the purchase without a concrete plan for it. What …
I Got a New Toy!
Jan 10, 2018
I treated myself recently after winning my fantasy football league. Free money is fun money. The Brother 1034D is apparently the go-to starter serger (or overlocker, if you’re from one of the fancy countries with a cool accent), but I also found that the upgraded Brother 1034DX is available, too. However it’s …
A Cape for Wacky Capers! – New Look 6479
Jan 8, 2018
Who’s ready to go on some wacky capers?! When I finally put on this cape to show it off to him, my husband called me a cape-ist. I said we should go on capers. This make is the cape from New Look 6479 View C. It was originally just supposed …
