A vintage cotton finally becomes a skirt

August 15, 2016 by Tasha 12 Comments

If you blog, and you blog about things you make, do you ever make something that has no interesting back story, wasn't that complicated, and you basically just want to share because it's pretty and you like it? Yep, that's today. This is just a simple gathered skirt I sewed, I don't even use a pattern for these. Just go selvage to selvage for the width of the front and back, insert a lapped zipper, and add a ... Read more »

Novelty felt Christmas skirt

December 22, 2015 by Tasha 45 Comments

Merry Christmas from... my skirt! When Technicolor Cutie announced early in December she was going to do a Christmas novelty felt circle skirt sew along, I knew I was IN. It was just the excuse I needed to be ridiculous during the holidays, and I love to be ridiculous during the holidays. I think she ended up getting delayed with the sew along but I plowed on full steam ahead because I just couldn't stop myself ... Read more »

The well and truly Ultimate Pencil Skirt

October 13, 2015 by Tasha 35 Comments

I've had so many interesting comments on my post about focusing on building a cool and cold weather wardrobe over the next year! A lot has happened in the last couple of weeks that's really helped me feel good about my plans, although part of me suspects that I'm so excited about it, it won't actually take an entire year to build a 3 season wardrobe. So even if it ends up that in 6 months time I feel awesome about what I ... Read more »

Brumby skirt, now with extra sailboats

July 22, 2015 by Tasha 37 Comments

I was flattered awhile back when Megan Neilsen asked if I'd like to try out her Brumby skirt pattern. She was right on the mark in thinking I'd like it—Brumby is totally up my alley. source: Brumby Skirt by Megan Nielsen Out of the envelope, perhaps it wouldn't necessarily scream "me", but if I can look past modern styling and see a bit of a vintage twist, then I'm in. So a gathered skirt and big ol' pockets? Not much ... Read more »

Joan C.’s flannel skirt

January 26, 2015 by Tasha 38 Comments

I've been sewing slowly so far in 2015. Thinking about my two coat projects, taking my time, and just knitting more, I guess. But I finally finished up a skirt I've had mostly done except for the hem for nearly 2 weeks! This is my first pattern for Marie and Kerry's Vintage Pledge. I pledged to sew from 5 vintage patterns this year, which should theoretically be easily do-able! This is McCall's 3853 from 1956, a nice ... 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 »
