Yes, it's true. My love for the Cashmerette Concord Tee knows no bounds! It's a great pattern for hacking, but it's also great on its own. In an effort to be more mindful and sustainable in my sewing, I'm trying to fill holes in my wardrobe, especially those related to work-wear, which we all know is the… Continue reading Two Cashmerette Concord Tees
Seamwork Magazine Jill Coatigan
About a month ago, Andie and I were chatting on the CSC editors Facebook page and decided to do a sew along with the Seamwork Magazine Jill Coatigan. We had both had our eyes on the pattern and figured that since March and April are Jacket and Blazer themed for the #CurvyYearofSewing, there was no better time… Continue reading Seamwork Magazine Jill Coatigan
Watson Bra and Soma Undies Set
This set is the culmination of a little bra project I've been working on for what seems like forever... or at least 9 months. Last summer I got the urge to find a bra pattern WITHOUT a wire that I would be comfortable wearing every day. And of course, an every day undie pattern would… Continue reading Watson Bra and Soma Undies Set
Cashmerette Concord Swing Dress Hack #3
I'm going to take a little trip down memory lane through some of my sewing projects over the past few years. I'll start with one of my most recent and most loved projects (of course isn't the most recent always the new favorite?), but then you can just expect a mish-mash of older and newer… Continue reading Cashmerette Concord Swing Dress Hack #3
Welcome!

Me Made May 15 Week 1
Some of you have probably already seen these over on instagram, so I'll keep this short shortish APPARENTLY SUPER LONG. Pretty much all of these items are things I haven't blogged (though I'm thinking of easing back in with a post about the Southport dress if anyone is interested, since I've gotten some questions on… Continue reading Me Made May 15 Week 1
Me-Made-May ’15
Shit, ya'll. I'm back (?) ! I've dusted off the 'ol blog, (probably) blocked all the flickr creepers, might at some point review my comments for spam, and I have a brand new (as of like 9 months ago) laptop. And, just in time for Me-Made-May '15. That fun time of year that everyone loves… Continue reading Me-Made-May ’15
Me-Made-May Reflections
Whats the take-home message from Me Made May 2014? KNITS KNITS KNITS. I've been sewing knits since I started sewing 1.5 years ago, and I have no intention of stopping. Its what I like to wear and the main reason I started sewing. The really nice thing is that the blogosphere seems to have caught the… Continue reading Me-Made-May Reflections
MMM2014 33-100% done!
Here is a much belated wrap up of the latter 2/3 of May, better late than never?!? I wanted to get a post up so that I could pontificate about my feelings on the experience this year as compared with MMM2013. Days 11- 14. I feel like these are a pretty good representation of my personal… Continue reading MMM2014 33-100% done!
