Black cats on parade!

October 31, 2016 by Tasha 11 Comments

Happy Halloween, my friends! There's a couple of holidays for which I'm interested in sewing, and Halloween is one of them! (It's a short list: the other is obviously Christmas.) Last year, I was in London meeting up with sewing friends on Halloween and sewed myself a theme-y blouse for the occasion. I used the same pattern as my recent Bye Bye Birdie blouse, and this year, I've used the pattern again! What can ... Read more »

Confession, pink leopard print cigarette pants, and a Vintage Pledge guest post

August 1, 2016 by Tasha 25 Comments

Today's blog post will be in reverse order of the title. I know, it's a teaser! ;) But first, here's a bit about my guest post! If you follow my blog and you're into sewing, then you know about Marie and Kerry's Vintage Pledge. This year, they jam packed all of July with guest posts from tons of bloggers, and I'm honored to say that my guest post was this weekend! I sewed up a cute ruffled eyelet blouse from a pattern ...

Blistering orange capris

June 28, 2016 by Tasha 37 Comments

There's a lot of really ugly things going on in the world right now. It's been an especially crazy whirlwind of a few weeks in politics, with some truly dark happenings (mixed in with a couple of good and important ones). I haven't felt much like blogging, but in an effort to do something normal with myself, I remembered Mel had helped me take photos of a few things I've made and I hadn't looked at any of the photos yet ...

Sparkling up any ol’ winter day

March 5, 2015 by Tasha 26 Comments

As I've mentioned on occasion, I mostly work from home. This is something that developed slowly over time at my job to where, several years later, we work remotely 99% of the time. The few of us from my department that are actually located in the same city sometimes pop into the office to be reminded what each other look like, for the Christmas party, etc. So I went from thinking a lot about business-very-casual clothes ...

Light on the bottom

Hi, friends! Before I move on to today's post, I have to stop and say how much I've been loving all your comments on my last post about my new hair color and more importantly, about celebrating yourself. Thank you for all the lovely compliments, but REALLY thank you for sharing all of the things you love about yourselves!! It's been refreshing and inspiring reading what everyone wrote. Honestly if you need a little dose ... Read more »

Pants update: I (kind of) (maybe) have a winning combo!

December 2, 2014 by Tasha 50 Comments

Thank you all so much for all your comments and suggestions on my post about my pants fitting struggles and seemingly endless cycle of muslins to try and fix the bagginess at the back of my thighs. I really appreciate your thoughts, helpful ideas, and commiseration. After my post, I mulled over all the suggestions, did more research, and started to try out some new adjustments on one of my previous muslins (the ugly ... Read more »
