How I pattern hack a vintage & modern pattern together & sew a dress!

January 31, 2023 by Tasha 1 Comment

If you've followed me a long time anywhere on these here interwebs, you know that I love to hack sewing patterns. Hack patterns together, hack them into different cuts and style, you name it, I'll hack it. I knew one of the first things I wanted to do on my new YouTube channel (did you miss my launch?!) was a video where I walked through how I hacked one of my favorite bodices. It's a bit of a tutorial! Quick ... Read more »

Tasha Could Make That new YouTube channel

Tasha Could Make That is now on YouTube!

January 18, 2023 by Tasha 1 Comment

Hello friends! It's with a lot of excitement and just as much (or more!) nervousness, that I'm announcing today that I'm finally on YouTube! I've had a lot of requests over the years to do more video content for vintage sewing and knitting. And though I have done a bunch of Instagram stories, mainly talking through sewing projects, it's not nearly as 'official' as a dedicated channel for things! But particularly ... Read more »

Confidette bolero garter stitch border and cuffs

Confidette: border, cuffs, and Icelandic bind off

September 15, 2022 by Tasha 2 Comments

When last we met, I introduced you to my new Confidette bolero knitting pattern (available on Ravelry and Payhip). One of my favorite elements about Confidette is the shaded garter stitch border and cuffs, which we'll look at more today. And I'm going to share a quick tutorial on Icelandic bind, which finished them off perfectly! The blue sample bolero was knit in John Arbon Knit by Numbers DK, and the blues are two ... Read more »

1950s-style cuffed jeans (and informal video extravaganza!)

March 27, 2018 by Tasha 34 Comments

I made more jeans! And then I have some good news, and some bad news relating to that. The bad news is I've been saying since last summer that I was going to do a vintage jeans sew-along. And I... can never get to it. Friends, if you've followed me awhile, and if you've ever read any of my tutorials, they are intense. They can take me weeks to put together just one tutorial. I rarely even do them these days because ... Read more »

Pattern hack: turn Butterick B6285 wrap top into a tuck-in surplice top

February 4, 2016 by Tasha 10 Comments

As I mentioned in my wrap/surplice top series introduction, I have two pattern hacks I've worked up for Gertie's Butterick B6285 pattern. Yesterday I showed you how to lengthen the wrap top bodice. But today's modification is my favorite: how I turned this wrap top pattern into a surplice top. Basically, it looks the same, there's just no wrap ties, and it's long enough to tuck it in! I adore the general fit and shape ... Read more »
