Jungle January 2015
I’m barely squeaking in at the last minute here, but I did get a Jungle January project done and got some pictures to turn out. Anne has hosted this party for 3 years now and having participated the first 2 times, I didn’t want to miss out. I was originally inspired by a couple of Pinterest…

Stash-Busting 2015
I’m really trying hard to participate in Jungle January, but I’m having trouble. I made an appropriately leopard-y (yes, I’m sure that’s a word) Lolita SugarPlum Dress. I took 132 photos of it, but absolutely none of them are post-able (that’s a word too, just roll with it). While I work out a strategy for…

Burda 9781: Boy’s Three-Piece Suit
I really didn’t intend for my 50th stash-busting project to be posted on the very last day of the year, but that seems to be how it worked out. I met my pledged goal from the beginning of the year, 50 projects sewn from my stash. I actually over-achieved this goal, but not everything got…

Tenterhook Patterns: Jacaranda Dress Beta Version
Before I get into the project I want to show here, I feel like I need to put it out there that I have come to the realization that the pairing of shirt with skirt in my last post was not a good idea. Neither me nor my new skirt were done justice in that…

#Sewcialists Grease Theme: Tell Me More
Last month’s Sewcialist theme was inspired by the movie “Grease”. What an awesome reason to finally finish up that UFO that I started about 2 years ago. That’s right, my pink jean jacket didn’t start out as an intentionally Grease-themed “Pink Ladies” jacket. I just happen to really, really like pink which leads me to…

Optical Delusions 3 Piece Set
No stripes were harmed in the making of this set, but if you are prone to seizures, you may want to avert your eyes before it is too late. I had bought this fabric with the intention of making it into a set with at least 3 pieces. My original plan was dress, skirt, jacket…

Tania Culottes/Nettie Bodysuit: I Love My Legs
Ever since Megan Nielsen released her Tania Culottes pattern, I’ve been curious to make a pair for myself. Like many separates patterns though, I had trouble visualizing what top I would wear with them. When Heather Lou released the Nettie bodysuit, then, it seemed like the perfect match. I planned to put these two together…

A Trio of Lady Skaters
Back at the beginning of summer, I made a couple of Lady Skater dresses for everyday wear. I had suddenly decided I had a significant lack of snake-print in my closet, so I bought this navy blue ITY knit. I added a few inches to the skirt length of the lady skater pattern, just like…

BurdaStyle 8/2012 #152: Preppy Green Shirt
After some of my recent postings, this seems like a bit of an anticlimactic project. I know not everyone gets excited about seeing kid’s projects rather than women’s clothes. It’s nice to finally get it off my desk though; it’s been sitting around partly done for pretty much the entire summer. This is BurdaStyle 8/2012…
