Hey y’all! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s day!

Skirt: CAbi brand via ThredUP Shirt: Pact Clothing $11.20 Jacket: handmade via Darby’s Dresses $8…
They’re everywhere, these chevron skirts. I couldn’t find a cheap one I was sure would fit online, so I made my own in just a couple hours. I ordered 2 yards of striped fabric from Girl Charlee and eagerly got started. Stealing some pictures from Fresh Modesty to show y’all. I took a couple of…
Ever have a piece of fabric taunt you, begging to be made, but unsure of what/how to make it into? This length of denim was that. I ordered it from Fashion Fabrics Club on clearance, since it was a good price, but I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it. A little…

Remember when I posted the Vintage Spring Skirt a month ago? I told y’all I’d show you how I did the waistband. It’s so simple. First, cut a “facing”. All you do is use the top 3″ or so of the pattern to make an exact duplicate of the top of your skirt. Sew two…
Wow, was this easy and fun to do! At the thrift store, I always dig through the $0.25 bin for things I can use as fabric. In there was a pair of size 42 men’s work pants. I brought them home and made this: I planned on just using the legs as fabric (working around…
I’ve been soooo inspired by floor-length skirts lately. My friend Madeline keeps sending me links to skirts like this one and I fall in love every time. They’re just so classy and comfortable and feminine. And what could be more comfortable than a floor-length knit skirt? Okay, so it’s hard to make this one classy……
Howdy! Sorry for that uncalled for 2 month blogging break. I’ve been… busy, to say the least. 😀 But, hopefully now that I have some schoolwork off my plate and the weather’s getting cooler, I’ll be sewing again. I’ve missed it so much. Last night and this morning (about 3 hours total), I finished the…
I made this skirt last fall and have worn it at least 3 times a week since then. It is so practical, comfortable, modest, flattering, and versatile. I’ve had several requests for a tutorial on how to do the pockets of this skirt. So, here are the steps finally! {yeah, okay, so I toootally forgot…
Don’t laugh. Don’t gag. And please don’t call me Heidi. I made a high-waisted skirt that has “suspenders” yesterday. As I was procrastinating doing my school, I came across this outfit on an awesome site. I thought “Hey, that’s really cute and really different and I *think* I have that pattern!” and was inspired. Turns…
Imagine the ugliest pants you have ever seen. I found some at the thrift store for 25 cents the other day- they were that ugly. 😛 Once I got over the fact that a man probably actually wore them sometime, I saw that the plaid actually wasn’t that bad. So I made a skirt from it. They…
