Bias tape armhole facings tutorial & a summer blouse

August 16, 2023 by Tasha Leave a Comment

Do you love gingham? I loove gingham. Apparently, I love gingham so much, that between my two latest YouTube videos, where I show you my favorite tricks for achieving perfectly smooth bias tape facings around armholes, and then sew up the example blouse from the tutorial, I end up showing 4 different gingham summer tops I've made. I really had no idea until making of those videos that I sewed it that much! If you'd ... Read more »

Finally, a Rita blouse

January 29, 2019 by Tasha 36 Comments

Hello my friends! It's been awhile. No long apologies or anything like that—I don't blog as much as I used to. Sometimes it comes in fits and spurts and then sometimes I just can't be bothered to take umpteen photos and cull them and whatnot. Please don't tell me you're disappointed I didn't ever blog about this topic or you wish I posted more or why don't I do tutorials or or or, etc. Yes, people do that. Do not put that ... Read more »

Wings of madness: the blouse I never wanted to sew again (but now I do)

October 16, 2015 by Tasha 16 Comments

Earlier in the week, I was waxing on about my Ultimate Pencil Skirt and how happy I was with it. Now, let's have a slightly less gushy sewing post, shall we? The blouse I wore with that skirt was one I sewed from a vintage pattern. (Woo! It's a bonus Vintage Pledge item since I already had reached my challenge of 5... actually I think there was a 6th floating around somewhere that I can't put my finger on.) It's ... Read more »

Afternoon Blouse: Jennifer Lauren Vintage pattern testing

April 7, 2014 by Tasha 31 Comments

You may have heard last week that Jennifer Lauren Vintage released her first sewing pattern! It's a darling basic blouse with a vintage appeal, and is quick to sew together, hence the name 'afternoon' blouse. Now, why do I know this? Because I was one of her lucky pattern testers! The blouse really is a nice and easy make, and that was one of Jen's goals. It was based on an original 1950s blouse pattern but she ... Read more »

Tulip Blouse

Crazy for tulips skirt and blouse

July 1, 2013 by Tasha 40 Comments

I assume by now everyone who was using Google Reader has exported their feeds to another service like Bloglovin or Feedly? Today's your deadline if not, so you better hop to it! I exported my feeds to both of those services when I first heard about it, so I could play with them both. I decided awhile back that I preferred Feedly, partially because it included options to organize blogs into categories. I know you can do ... Read more »

Finished: inspired by Debi 1942 McCall blouse

January 24, 2013 by Tasha 46 Comments

I really owe Debi from My happy sewing place a big thank you for the inspiration for this blouse! If you follow Debi's blog you'll already know she's embarked on a huge long-term project called the 1940 McCall project where she intends to make all the McCall patterns from 1940. What an exciting commitment! I've been very inspired by her posts about the early stages of the project so far and it led led me to think about ... Read more »
