Sew House 7 Bridgetown Backless

  We've all been there - browsing the aisles at the fabric store, not really needing anything, but fondling each fabric anyway. And then one fabric jumps out at you - the colour or the print is just perfect, and the softness, drape, or touch-feel of the fabric is everything you wanted. You pull the bolt …

Crystal Cove Cami

My wardrobe has been seriously lacking a good woven camisole for a long time. Years ago, I had a couple of store-bought ones that I liked, but I just hadn't found and settled on a good woven cami sewing pattern yet. If you had asked me just a few weeks ago what I wanted in …

Me Made May 2018

Another Me Made May is officially in the books! How did you do? Did you manage your goals? I didn't... I aimed to wear only me-made clothes, to not repeat a full outfit, and to take a picture every day. I only failed on the last one, although I did take photos later of what …

Straight Stitch Designs Magnuson

Magnuson is fashion meets function, with four useful pockets, a cinched waist, side slits, and a stylish collar. The insides are all finished flawlessly - no serger required! Every seam is enclosed when you follow the instructions. The waistband casing is on the inside as well, which keeps any distracting strings hidden.

Me Made May 2018 details May 19th – May 27th

The past several days, I've been coping with a broken A/C unit at work. It should be fixed shortly, but I've been surviving pretty much by wearing the same shorts to work, hahaha. Also this week, I learned how to use a vinyl cutter and apply heat-transfer vinyl to t-shirts. I promptly put cute sayings …

Me Made May 2018 details May 10th – May 18th

Another 9 days are in the book! The last week or so was pretty weird, going from our hottest day of the year to chilly rainy days... My Grainline Maritimes saw a lot of action once again. I do have 4 pairs, but I think I need to get some new shorts patterns in the …

Me Made May 2018 details May 1st – May 9th

Well folks! We're not quite halfway through May once again! Below you will find all of the details on the first 9 of my daily outfits. Why nine? Because that's what most easily fits into a collage, haha! I didn't want to wait until the end of the month and then scramble to find links …

Hey June Halifax

Now that winter is very nearly (almost, kind of) over, I'm finally getting around to sharing my favourite garment this past season. I took part in a sew-a-long through Kiss My Stash to sew the Hey June Halifax Hoodie (aff. link), and thanks to the inspiration from that sew-a-long, I finished three! I haven't sewn much …

Itch to Stitch Mountain View Pull-on Jeans

Is anyone else totally over wearing real pants this winter? Lately the only things I've wanted to wear have been stretchy and have elastic waists. When I saw that Itch to Stitch was testing a new pull-on jeans pattern, I was 100% in! Easy wearing elastic waist pants? In. All the professional finishes of jeans? …
