Tutorial: Make vintage-inspired earrings

April 14, 2011 by Tasha 27 Comments

Yes, you may be thinking wait—she's leaving for Viva Las Vegas in the week. What the heck is she doing writing up a crafty tutorial?! Well the fact of the matter is that I actually made these earrings for my trip, so I took some photos along the way to share. I love vintage earrings as much as the next gal, but as we all know, most earlier earrings are screw back or clip on styles. Not really that comfortable if you ... Read more »

Finished project: Blenders blouse

January 18, 2011 by Tasha 16 Comments

I finally got photos of my first sewing project of 2011. It was a project I started last year. In fact, it was the last sewing project I touched last year. I am now not 100% sure why I tossed it to the side, but I know one reason was due to a beginner's error of not remembering that if you don't clip corners of an angle before trying to turn it, it's going to be lumpy and weird looking and you're going to think you did ...

One step closer

January 17, 2011 by Tasha 12 Comments

We got home this afternoon, having had a wonderful brief trip to Wisconsin with our friends. I'll be posting photos tomorrow because—yay!—I have the day off work.In the meantime, I thought I'd post the fabrics I'm considering for my current blouse. After my epiphany earlier in the week, I didn't really get a chance to sit back down with my muslin until we got home today. I finished off the collar, set in one sleeve and ... Read more »

Stick-to-it-ness

January 13, 2011 by Tasha 4 Comments

Yesterday evening I sat down to actually begin work on the muslin for my vintage blouse. I figured out the front gathers on the shoulder pretty easily, sewed up the shoulders and the sides... and then spent about the next 2 or 3 hours reading two paragraphs of my pattern. Vintage sewing patterns being a little skimpy on the instructions (if not downright pithy sometimes), it probably worked out to about 45 minutes a ... Read more »

uniform sewing

January 11, 2011 by Tasha 4 Comments

This afternoon, I sat down to make a muslin. I admit that I'm really not a big fan of doing them anymore than I'm a fan of knitting a gauge swatch. But like in knitting, I know when I need to do one and when I don't. This weekend I finished up my blenders blouse and I'm extremely happy with it. (I hope to get some photos next weekend when there's sun.) I'd do a few things different next time, but I know I'll be making the ... Read more »

Non sequiturs: Pasta sauce and business casual

January 11, 2011 by Tasha 6 Comments

I was initially planning to post today about the wonderful, amazing dinner that I cooked for us last night. For the first time, I made my mom's Italian pasta sauce recipe, which is probably very close to my grandma's recipe, which in turn is probably similar to my great grandmother's recipe. So if not in exact ingredients or steps, it's a sauce that's been passed down at least four generations. My great-grandmother died ... Read more »
