In yesterday's post, you saw my wrap tops sewn from Butterick B6285, and continuing in my miniseries, now you'll get to see my surplice tops! I'm really excited about these, if you haven't figured that out yet! And no joking on the post title, I could totally have one of these for every day of the week. And it's fully my intention to sew up an army of them. Let the rainbow of surplice tops commence! (See the stealth cat ... Read more »

Not forgotten: Cath Kidston inspired cardigan
A year and a half ago, I started and completed a cardigan. I never took photos, which is really unlike me with sweaters. It wasn't because I wasn't pleased with it, or didn't wear it, as I was and did (and do). I just never got around to it—until today! This is a total copycat cardigan. Case in point: Guess which one is mine... yeah okay, perhaps the Cath Kidston label and machine-knit stitch size gives it ... Read more »

When we were in Portland in August, I fell in absolute love ... Read more »
Novelty felt Christmas skirt
Merry Christmas from... my skirt! When Technicolor Cutie announced early in December she was going to do a Christmas novelty felt circle skirt sew along, I knew I was IN. It was just the excuse I needed to be ridiculous during the holidays, and I love to be ridiculous during the holidays. I think she ended up getting delayed with the sew along but I plowed on full steam ahead because I just couldn't stop myself ... Read more »
Nancy Drew and the Clue in the Wrap Dress
Actually, this post title should be Nancy Drew and the Clue in the Wrap Dress and Cardigan, but that's a bit of a mouthful, don't you think? ;) This post is brought to you by a dress I finished 8 months ago and a cardigan I finished at least a month ago, to put together an outfit over a year in the making! (By the way, I'm still super loving my new haircut! Lots of outfit photos with it have made it to Instagram even ... Read more »
