Color blocking a vintage sewing pattern (without the pattern)

June 6, 2024 by Tasha 3 Comments

You know when you fall HARD for an idea, and you absolutely must drop everything to work on it? Could be sewing, knitting, cooking, anything. That's what happened to me recently! I fell in love with the color blocking on a vintage McCall's pattern envelope on Pinterest, McCall's 5831 from 1961. And immediately had to drop absolutely everything to plan and make that top! Follow along in my latest YouTube ... Read more »

April 3, 2024 by Tasha Leave a Comment

If you've followed me anywhere in the online realms for awhile, you'll know that I sew myself a dress for my birthday every year. Last year was my first year of my YouTube channel, and my first year sewing a birthday dress on video. My birthday isn't until next week, but since I'm going to be out of town, you're getting this year's birthday dress video a little early! Watch me sew my birthday dress for 2024 on ... Read more »

Bias tape armhole facings tutorial & a summer blouse

August 16, 2023 by Tasha Leave a Comment

Do you love gingham? I loove gingham. Apparently, I love gingham so much, that between my two latest YouTube videos, where I show you my favorite tricks for achieving perfectly smooth bias tape facings around armholes, and then sew up the example blouse from the tutorial, I end up showing 4 different gingham summer tops I've made. I really had no idea until making of those videos that I sewed it that much! If you'd ... Read more »

Sewing a 1940s maxi dress for summer

July 19, 2023 by Tasha Leave a Comment

I've really been on a roll sewing dresses! Like I'm sure many people, I go in cycles in terms of what I want to sew and what I want to wear. And lately, that's been dresses. Granted, I type this while wearing a skirt and a top, but I've definitely leaned more towards dresses this year. And I just finished up a fabulous vintage dress! It's featured in my latest YouTube video. I used a 1940s sundress pattern, Simplicity ... Read more »

Sewing a vintage dress with ribbons on the bodice

May 24, 2023 by Tasha 1 Comment

As it's been getting warmer, I've been a busy bee lately with life stuff, and my sewing time has been less. You have to enjoy the warm weather when you can, and sometimes that means hanging out on my deck rather than holing up in the basement sewing! (Much as I love holing up in the basement sewing!) But I recently finished sewing a vintage dress, and it's the subject of my latest video on YouTube. It's another ... Read more »

When I sewed a vintage capsule wardrobe for Viva Las Vegas

April 26, 2023 by Tasha Leave a Comment

This week is the Viva Las Vegas rockabilly weekender, and while we're not attending, I'm reminiscing about the last time we went! Back in 2019, we attended, and I was a vintage sewing machine: I sewed a vintage capsule wardrobe, sewing a total of 10 outfits for the weekend, including two menswear shirts for Mel. I KNOW. Of the items in this more-is-more vintage capsule wardrobe, only one thing that made it to my ... Read more »
