An Elisalex with feathers

August 26, 2014 by Tasha 44 Comments

I am sorely behind in posting about things I've sewn this summer. So much so that I may not even blog about it all—you might just have to see it show up in outfits at some point! And right now, my sewing machine is having issues so I'm going to have to take it in to get repaired. No sewing for me for awhile. So let's backup to a month ago when I finished this dress! This is my first Elisalex dress from By Hand ... Read more »

The latest member of the redhead club!

July 19, 2014 by Tasha 53 Comments

For years and years, I've wanted to have red hair. Not that you've seen it since it was all pre-blog, but I've had loads of different hair colors over the years. From shades you might find springing from someone's head naturally (like black, brown, and blonde) to completely unnatural colors (like pink, green and purple), with the only real exceptions being light brown and natural reds. I say 'natural' reds to ... Read more »

The cuckoo clock dress

June 25, 2014 by Tasha 54 Comments

This dress may well feature one of the pinnacles of amazing, kitschy novelty prints: cuckoo clocks. Ever since I got a cuckoo clock necklace from Classic Hardware, I've been obsessed with them. One day, this obsession took me on a hunt for cuckoo clock fabric. Surely, somewhere, there was fabric with cuckoo clocks on it, right? Well, the answer was yes! This fabric is from the Storybook Lane collection by Kelly ... Read more »

Eat Your Veggies dress

June 11, 2014 by Tasha 48 Comments

Anyone hungry for some vegetables? I am! This is another Emery by Christine Haynes, the bodice of which as you know has basically become my bodice block! This one has my usual modification of cut-on sleeves, paired with a square neckline. I love square necklines and for this version I went a bit deeper than I have in the past. I've had this nagging feeling all along that the Emery bodice was a bit short on me. I know ... Read more »

An outfit post that mostly was not

June 9, 2014 by Tasha 11 Comments

Last week we went out to dinner with our friend Jen, who was in town before heading back to Wales. (Emma had gone back a few days earlier.... you may recall me mentioning Jen and Emma both meeting us in Dublin.) I asked if Mel would take some outfit photos for me, however it was just the absolute wrong time of day and everywhere we went around the yard, the lighting just would not cooperate. After briefly looking at ... Read more »

Seahorses wrap dress

May 30, 2014 by Tasha 38 Comments

This is my Seahorses dress. Otherwise known as the Watch Me Chase Decent Lighting Around My Yard dress. Or maybe it's the Dress That Doesn't Want to Be Photographed. It's also the Dress That Nearly Did Me In. It's a dress. It was a bitch to sew. The end. Okay okay, not really the end, obviously. You've actually seen me sew this pattern before, it's Simplicity 1523 from 1945. I used the bodice and front skirt piece to ... Read more »
