Hi All! So the big reveal! My corset! I wanted to split my corset posts into these two posts because: 1. there was WAY too much information on making the corset for one post, and 2. Because I wanted to highlight my friend who is an up-and-coming boudoir...
Hi All! I have something really exciting to show you! I've been sitting in on more classes at Bra-maker's Supply lately and one of them was a corset making class!! Here I am tracing out my pattern pieces 🙂 Of course I'm using the Pin-Up Girls Pattern- Beverly really...
Hi All, This Monday mom surprised me by cloning one of my favourites- a pair of undies! I've had these undies for a while and I love them, super comfy boy short style, and with the lace edge leg they're great for having a smooth edge that doesn't show through clothes....
Hi All! Today for throwback thursday I have a little sleep set I made for my sister a couple years ago. The top is the free Sorbetto top pattern, and the bottoms were a pair of pj shorts that I cloned. Super comfy, super simple, super sweet! I made it out of...
Hi All, Mom made some shorts!! Super cute little bike shorts in a nautical fabric. And they fit really well too- she even wore them in a sailing race! - shorts selfie! Mom used the Jalie leggings pattern, and some of the nautical swimwear fabric I bought at Ann's back...
Hi All, So if you didn't know, I joined the Vintage Playsuit Sew-a-Long, which is a sew-a-long hosted in the month of June by Girl with the Star Spangled Heart. It's a very open sew-a-long in a 'chose your own adventure' style, where everyone picks their own pattern...
Hi All, Today is a Mom Monday, meaning that I have a project from my mom! This one was pretty simple- an applique project on an old sweater that had a stain. You know when you have an old sweater that you like and that has potential, but it's a bit boring and has a...
Hi All! It's the end of #MMMay14, I can't believe just how fast this month went by! I think I want to make this a bit of a staple, maybe not outfits everyday but perhaps a me-made outfit of the week- My-Look Monday? maybe 🙂 on with the looks! DAY 25 On Sunday I...
Hi All! Remember my last MMMay14 Round-Up, the one where I said that I was going to be more on top of this whole picture taking and uploading thing? I lied. Well, I suppose it is always better late than never! And here is my Week 4 Round-Up! DAY 18 This was the Sunday...
Hi All! I'm back with another sewing project, and this is one that my mom made me! You got a sneak peak of it last Saturday when I included it in my #MMMay14 Week 3 Round-Up- but here it is in full detail! A lovely nightie (with matching sleep mask of course)! Made...
Hi All! Here is my week 3 round-up of me-makes, and this was a really busy week for me- so busy that *confession time* I staged these pictures (except for the first day and the last) because I forgot to take the pictures everyday.. I know shame on me- but I promise...
Hi All, Today I took Beverly's class on Coverstitch machines! - I had never used a coverstitch machine before this, so everything was really new to me- and I have to say- wow- if I could even afford to have a wish-list with things this expensive, a coverstitch would...
Hi All! Week 2 of MMMay was a very busy week for me! It was filled with lots of bra-making, lots of driving and best of all lots of mom & me time! And this is what I wore for my busy week! DAY 4 A Lazy Sunday spent packing with my mom...
Hi All, I am so excited to be participating in Me-Made-May this year! And this is my first weekly round-up of outfits! It is a short week, as May only started on Thursday- but here are my first three days of MMMay! Day 1 Taking Fin out for a walk with mom- it...
Hi All! Today's Throwback Thursday is one of my first successful projects- and my first vintage pattern make! I made this dress when I was 16, so almost seven years ago now *cries silently*, and this is a picture of me wearing it when I just turned 18. (There...
Hi All! This Throwback Thursday I wanted to share something that I did in my third year of University: Vogue Charity Fashion Show (VCFS), which, as you can imagine from the name, is a charity fashion show hosted by a university club. I'm going to warn you right now-...
Hi All! This Throwback Thursday, I have a slightly more recent project than last week's TBT , but this was also a project made for me by my lovely mom 🙂 And it is this coat, made from McCall's M5513 about 5 years ago: I consider this my more 'dressed up' winter...
Hi All, I'm no longer on dog sitting duty since my parents have returned from the sunny California! And of course with them they brought me some lovely gifts: A little clutch wallet, matching panties, california dates, and -drumroll- the new american BurdaStyle...
Hi All, So I thought I would start a new thing- TBT (throwback-thursday, for those not in the know), where I will show you a sewing project from my pre-blog days. I'm thinking that quite a few of these will be made by my mom, since she has made me so many lovely...
Hi All! As promised here is my latest sewing project! It all started when I received these two items in the mail- which I ordered online after creeping every blogger who has ever sewn drape drape and swooning for hours... as you can see they are already littered with...
Hi All! You might notice that I have a new button in my side bar- and that is the Me-Made-May 2014 button! If you don't already know Me-Made-May is a challenge hosted by Zoe of the blog sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.co.uk to wear as many of your home-made...
