The blouses that almost were not

October 3, 2017 by Tasha 30 Comments

I'm going to squeeze in one last summer sewing post, okay? Okay! There's actually two blouses here to show you, but the same pattern and one saga. Way back in August (how does it feel like both a minute ago and last year?) I really, really, REALLY wanted to sew this vintage Butterick pattern, 6965. So cute, right? It's a basic blouse with a chic shape. Looks like a halter neck, but actually has a full back, ... Read more »

My first outfit for Mood Sewing Network!

August 15, 2017 by Tasha 14 Comments

Hello, friends! I have some exciting news to share. Earlier this summer, I was asked to join the Mood Sewing Network. I know!! I was (and am) immensely flattered! Every month, I'll be doing a post over at their blog of something I've sewn with fabric from Mood Fabrics. And then I'll share some more details about the garments here on my own blog! In fact, I've just had my first post in July—you can read it here. ... Read more »

1950s patio blouse

August 4, 2017 by Tasha 21 Comments

Before I forget completely, I want to revisit an outfit I showed you last month, because it had two things I made and I only talked about one of them. You may have noticed a cool blouse I was wearing with my 1950s pedal pushers. It's my first patio blouse! Knock another item off my summer inspiration list! I used McCall's 9925, the pattern on the left below. So this is another Vintage Pledge item, too! I debated for ... Read more »

1950s style pedal pusher jeans

July 17, 2017 by Tasha 35 Comments

Ooh friends, I've made something I'm soooo happy with. 1950s-inspired jeans, in a pedal pushers length for summer! We took photos of them at an Air BNB cabin we stayed in up north in Wisconsin earlier in the month, near the Minnesota border. Pretty there, right?? I'll hopefully put together photos from our mini vacation soon. I kind of have a lot of things to blog about suddenly and not enough time. (The ... Read more »

Tropical seersucker capris

June 21, 2017 by Tasha 30 Comments

Cross two things off my summer sewing to-do list: work out a hidden inseam pocket, and sew capris. Done and done! Frankly, I'm elated about these capris, even though they just appear to be a simple project at first glance. And technically they kind of are, but they signify a lot. Do you ever have sewing projects like that, where the project itself has a much more far-reaching impact than just the item you ... Read more »

Special birthday dress for London

April 10, 2017 by Tasha 66 Comments

Today is my birthday! So I sewed a dress! I'm the ripe YOUNG age of 40! And, I'm in London! Um, not in these photos, obviously. We're actually on vacation right now and I took these ahead of time, since we weren't planning to travel with a laptop and I thought trying to do a blog post on my phone on my birthday sounded like a drag. So you get a scheduled post instead. :) Each year for the last handful of ... Read more »
