After starting this costume 1 day shy of a year ago, it’s finally done! I plan on wearing this to le Bal des Arts this weekend, an Art Nouveau ball hosted by @sewstine. ♡ Last night I did a hair and makeup test and decided to also take some self portraits (I just hope I…
Starting my posts off with the highlight of my weekend at Fabled Fantasy Events Romantasy Book Con LA – meeting @authorpenncole in my Diem Bellator cosplay 💕💕 The Kindred’s Curse Saga is one of my all time top fantasy series, and I just absolutely love and relate to the main character Diem. Thank you Penn…
A couple months ago I visited The Wasteshed for the first time and found this bright orange cotton jersey, which was perfect because I had just recently purchased the Jackson Tee and Pullover pattern by Helen’s Closet (available in up to a 60″ chest). Now that I’m back living in colder weather, I’ve found I…
I made a dress!~ I got this pink corduroy from my mom’s stash, borrowed her sewing room, and finally had an excuse to try out the Bardon Dress pattern by @elbe_textiles / @peppermintmagazine (a free pattern available in up to 53″ bust). ♡ I made it in size C and only ended up shortening the straps a bit, and…
Finally sharing this flannel shirt I sewed in october! After getting covid this past summer and dealing with the aftermath, I realized that sewing surprisingly takes a lot of both mental and physical energy. So with this shirt, I intentionally paced myself and only worked on a small section each day (vs trying to power…
A combination of a few things inspired me to try block printing fabric for the first time this weekend: This Celeste bath towel by KJP that I picked up at Prelude & Dawn Discovering @meg_____makes and her amazing hand-painted and printed textiles on instagram A neon pink Jacquard textile paint I found at Crush &…
I wore my newest sewing project to hang out with friends in a non-zoom setting today~ ♡ This was made using the Steele Pinafore pattern by Elbe Textiles, which is available in up to a 58.5″ bust. I call it a “cheater” Steele Pinafore because I was feeling lazy and nixed the open sides and buttons…
Forgot to take non-food photos again during my hangout with Amy 😩💖, but had my camera all set so I got mike take some shots of the Elbe Textiles #steelepinafore I made last week~ I’ve been wanting to sew this pattern since it came out last year, and am glad I finally did because I…
I think I’ve wanted to make the Grainline Studio Field Bag ever since I first saw the sewing pattern, but I really could not think of a good reason for doing so. But then, after I finally started crocheting and knitting, I realized I finally had a practical use for it. 🎉😂 I accidentally washed…
It finally happened – Mike dressed up for the ren faire. 🧙 For many years now, we’ve joked with our friends that he would dress up for the faire if I made him a Merlin costume. It had to be classic Merlin, but a little gritty, and the biggest sticking point was the hat –…
