Vintage knitting, sewing, and a lifetime of craftiness

finished projects

Dreamy boucle cardigan and a dress

November 30, 2022 by Tasha 12 Comments

How about something completely different? And by different, really I mean the same—I'm sharing a couple of finished projects. That's the bread and butter of what I do 'round here, after all. But it's been awhile since I've shared anything except the knitting patterns I've worked on this year, so I'm here to change that! Ironically part of this outfit started off as something I intended to make into a cardigan pattern ... Read more »

Sildra mittens

Sildra mittens

January 13, 2021 by Tasha 9 Comments

Thank you for all the kind comments on my last blog post, and hey guess what, I didn't make you wait over a year for another one! It's nice to know there are folks out there who still want to read this. :) As I said before I do have some posts in me, and here I am again to prove it. Writing is a nice way to distract myself from the world and goodness knows, we need distractions right now, especially this last harrowing ... Read more »

(Belated) birthday sarong dress

April 17, 2019 by Tasha 27 Comments

Happy belated birthday to me! My birthday was actually last Wednesday, but my site had gremlins that had to get fixed, and then I was busy preparing for a trip (more on that below), and so you're only getting the post I planned for my birthday now. Better late than never. :) As I've done every year for several years, I sewed myself a birthday dress! It's a tradition I've enjoyed keeping up (last year's was ... 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 »

Plaid flannel dress

November 19, 2018 by Tasha 26 Comments

Last month, I sewed a plaid dress. Not just any plaid dress, but a plaid flannel dress. It's cute, warm, and comfy. What could be more delightful for fall and early winter? This dress is from McCall's 8989, a pattern from the 1950s. The wing collar is annoying to construct... the type where you sew to the seam line on both sides of a seam, and invariably I leave a huge hole or puckers and have to re-do at least ... Read more »

Sewing a holy grail pattern

July 24, 2018 by Tasha 36 Comments

I found one of my holy grail sewing patterns this year! You'd think a "holy grail" pattern had to be some fancy couture or Polynesian number that sells for over $100 and is super rare at that, but nope. It's a simple sundress pattern, from 1945, Simplicity 2465. Some years back I saw the pattern without the numbers on it in some random image online somewhere, and was never able to put a pattern number to the ... Read more »
