Vintage knitting, sewing, and a lifetime of craftiness

1950s-style cuffed jeans (and informal video extravaganza!)

March 27, 2018 by Tasha 34 Comments

I made more jeans! And then I have some good news, and some bad news relating to that. The bad news is I've been saying since last summer that I was going to do a vintage jeans sew-along. And I... can never get to it. Friends, if you've followed me awhile, and if you've ever read any of my tutorials, they are intense. They can take me weeks to put together just one tutorial. I rarely even do them these days because ... Read more »

Tiki trousers

February 7, 2018 by Tasha 33 Comments

I'm excited to share a really fun pair of trousers with you today! I've secretly been working with Spoonflower to share my thoughts on their latest fabric addition, Dogwood Denim™. I'm sure you've heard of them but if not: Spoonflower does print-on-demand, eco-friendly digital printing on fabric. They have thousands of designs to choose from, and a bunch of types of fabric for different applications. When I ... Read more »

Summer sewing wild cards and a list (mostly) wrapped up

September 25, 2017 by Tasha 9 Comments

Since we're having an unusual very hot heat wave in September and I'm cranky about the fact that the weather feels like the hottest part of summer when I'm ready for it to cool off a bit, and I admit I'm really sick of looking at my hot-weather clothing and my sandals and want to move into dresses with cardigans and cigarette pants and cute flats and light wool (light! not rushing winter!), I might as well blog about a ...

Love Cats: Last things sewn for summer

September 28, 2016 by Tasha 21 Comments

We've really had kind of an extended summer here. It's late September and I still have roses and a few day lilies (?!!) blooming, and the tomatoes are going crazy. This week, the temperatures have cooled, and so the projects I'm sharing today are assuredly the last things I'll have made for summer this year! Rounding the bend on my third pair of jeans in a row, I hit a wall a few weeks ago. I don't typically stop ... Read more »

Safran jeans

August 24, 2016 by Tasha 29 Comments

I have a special treat today! I was very flattered to be contacted by Deer and Doe to see if I wanted to try their latest pattern and give an honest review, and that pattern is the Safran jeans that just came out today! Grab a beverage for a long post, I always get chatty when talking about jeans! Now I've known about Deer and Doe but hadn't sewed any of their patterns to date, because their general aesthetic is ...

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 ...
