Guys, I finally made another pair of jeans. Seriously, I waited about 10 months to do it, but it’s fine. I remembered how to do most of the tricky jeans things. Like zippers and topstitching. Let’s just not talk about rivets though, ok? I couldn’t tell you why I waited so long to see these… Continue reading Mid Rise Gingers and an Old Romance

Emerson Crop Pants; are stripes and florals really a thing?
This is my second pair of Emerson Crop pants. I wear my first pair all the time, so I finally decided it was time for another pair. I used a striped print from the Miramar Fabric collection by Workroom Social. I picked this up at Stitch, my favorite sewing oasis.

Watson Bra Test Run
So, I made a bra! I’ll be the first to admit that it looks a little bit like a training bra, and I’m ok with it. That’s what happens when you don’t have much to fill it with. I’m lovingly calling it my I.B.T.H. (You can figure that one out for yourself, or look it… Continue reading Watson Bra Test Run
