My boyfriend likes the idea of Brooks Brothers clothing, but it’s a bit out of budget. So when I found some Brooks Brothers shirting at Cali Fabrics I decided to make him a shirt for his birthday. Here it is! Overall I am very happy with how it turned out, considering it is my first…… Continue reading Thread Theory-Fairfield Button-Up

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many things, one of the most visible being the necessity of masks. Since March I’ve made nearly 110, most of which have been donated or given away. They’re quick to make and don’t require much fitting, so I’d sew a few at a time as a break between writing med…… Continue reading Masks

I made my first pair of pants! I added the tie later! Or shorts really. I used the Vanessa Fluid Pants pattern from Jalie and their shorts hack tutorial to make a pair for my mom. Still no tie… I made a straight size U, with a 3″ inseam. The legs were widened using the…… Continue reading Jalie 3676-Vanessa Fluid Pants (Shorts)

I absolutely LOVE this dress. I’m beyond happy how it turned out; the skirt twirls, the light cotton shirting breathes, and the bodice fits like a glove. It twirls! I call it my bunny dress because when untied the shoulder ties make the bodice look a lot like the head of a bunny 🙂 The…… Continue reading McCall’s 7599 – View B

I will be definitely doing something else with my hair though. I’m really happy with how this dress turned out! The fabric color is…… Continue reading Simplicity 8292 (Part 4-final pics!)

Read part 1 here. I left off part 2 with me looking for some fabric for my final dress. Which was A LOT harder than I expected. I knew I wanted something fancy, this was a wedding after all, but nothing too flashy, and no cheap icky shiny satin. Initially, I was hoping for something…… Continue reading Simplicity 8292 (Part 3-the dress)

Read Part 1 here. I really don’t know what I was thinking, ordering that pattern. I didn’t even have access to a sewing machine at this point. Despite this, I forged ahead and when my pattern came I figured that if I was going to do this I might as well do it properly with…… Continue reading Simplicity 8292 (Part 2-the muslin)

The dress that started it all. Kind of. It was the start of sewing, or at least wanting to sew, clothes for myself. Granted, this dress was not my first sewing project ever. I first learned how to sew on buttons in preschool, and throughout elementary school fiddled around with fabric scraps to make little…… Continue reading Simplicity 8292 (Part 1-the crazy idea)

This past weekend I had the opportunity to go down to the LA fashion district. There were so many stores carrying all sorts of fabrics and notions! And at unbelievable prices too. First stop was Mood Fabric. I was looking for some sort of lightweight cotton to make McCall’s 7599. The entire dress is cut…… Continue reading LA Fashion District
