Vintage knitting, sewing, and a lifetime of craftiness

An outfit to walk to the zoo

November 30, 2014 by Tasha 18 Comments

On a recent weekend, Mel and I had a couple of errands to run in one of the neighborhoods in which I grew up. We weren't really planning to take any photos but as it happened we had along a little point-and-shoot camera. While my nicer DSLR takes much better photos, sometimes it's either take quick snapshots or nothing. And since we've gotten pretty lax about taking a camera (mainly because I often don't feel like lugging ... Read more »

A turquoise Moneta dress

October 30, 2014 by Tasha 34 Comments

Stop the presses! I've sewn a dress in a knit fabric! Meet my first Colette Moneta. Okay it's not really that exciting, but hey, it's my first knit dress so cut me some slack. I'm psyched! Though there's one main issue with this dress that's entirely my fault. It's a bit too tight...I'm pretty much poured into this dress bodice (sleeves on the other hand are far too wide at the upper arm, and I'll pick your brains ... Read more »

A chunky cabled pullover 8 months later than planned

October 28, 2014 by Tasha 36 Comments

Back in March when I met Rochelle in D.C., I bought some yarn at Fibre Space, a great yarn shop in Alexandria, Virginia. I was mainly intending to window shop and enable help Rochelle pick some yarn, but then I saw a pattern booklet with the pullover Vashon on the cover, and suddenly it was absolutely imperative that I knit myself a chunky cabled pullover for our trip to Ireland in the spring. Except as the ... Read more »

A Coco and a Can-Can

October 15, 2014 by Tasha 39 Comments

Cross a major goal off my list this year: sewing with knits! Meet my very first Coco top, from Tilly and the Buttons. I'm excited. Can you tell?? When I set a goal earlier this fall to learn to sew with knits, I prepared by, well, reading everything under the sun about sewing with knits. The Colette Guide to Sewing Knits by Alyson Clair, the instructions for the three knit patterns I bought to start off ... Read more »

Pushing your (silhouette) boundaries

October 7, 2014 by Tasha 26 Comments

Hello, friends! My blogging energy has been zapped lately, I must admit, but I think it's bouncing back. And so today, I have a little story to tell! It all started with a print. A couple of months ago, I was obsessing over galaxy-themed prints. I managed to track down some galaxy fabric to sew a dress (no I still haven't sewn it yet!), and also found a ModCloth dress severely on sale. It was the very last one, and in ... Read more »

An outfit to get dyed for

August 29, 2014 by Tasha 16 Comments

Happy Friday, my friends! I'm off to the salon later this afternoon to get my hair color touched up (hence the corny post title). Can you believe it's been 6 weeks since I went red?! (I feel like it's not fair to call myself a redhead since it's not my natural color... will I get over this? Would I offend natural redheads by doing so? I'm probably over-thinking this, right?) (hair is clipped back and unset because ... Read more »
