OK, so the Guns n’ Roses concert was a blast and my “Axl” mullet skirt was a hit! Believe it or not, this was the first time I’ve ever sewn something for an event. Most of the things I sew are just for the heck of it type of things, or for a contest. But I really enjoyed the experience […]
What jungle am I talking about? I’m talking about the Jungle of Looks Axl Rose from Guns n’ Roses has been wearing over the years. This man is the epitome of “I wear whatever I want”. During the height of Guns n’ Roses popularity in the 90’s, Axl frequently sported the plaid look. He either wore a plaid shirt or […]
Presenting the Ginger Jeans by Closet Core. The fruit of my labor at sewing camp… and my first time sewing jeans. To Recap: I sewed a size 6, view B- the high waist skinny leg. Since we were on a deadline, I don’t have specific numerical adjustments. I took in a little at the center back and shaved off some […]
Believe it or not, I have never been to camp. Lots of kids go to summer camp but I always stayed home (and played with the Barbies). Blame it on the shyness. Well, now that I’m a big girl I think I could handle myself with other people, LOL. Last week, Make it Sew hosted a 4 day Jeans Sewing […]
August is my birthday month and I decided to kick off my new year by doing things that make me happy. And that…my friend, is SEWING! I just returned from a fantastic trip in Lexington, VA for Jeans Sewing Camp with Make it Sew. I took a class here last year. But before I get into that, let’s talk about […]
Let’s continue on with more Lilla Pulister aka faux Lilly Pulitzer! 😉 I had some Disney fabric leftover from the Clara legging so how about a skort? The Loulouxe pattern is little more complex since it has shorts underneath. But nothing we can’t handle! I sewed the pattern as is from the envelope as a wearable muslin. What I am finding […]
Last February when I visited Disneyworld a Lilly Pulitzer/Disney display caught my eye. I normally just look at move on since the brand is $$. But the Mickey and Minnie prints were so cute! I purchased the $50 hat and wore it the rest of my stay, justifying cost per use. Upon arriving at home I still had that magical Disney feeling […]
Back to School season is around the corner but we are still in summer mode. New batik summer dress. The pattern: Simplicity 8146. I can’t get over all the cute matchy-matchy on this one! Misses’, child and doll- this pattern has it all. Instructions: For the doll they want you to use the same construction method as the child/miss. Ok […]
With sewing there is always a new pattern to sew or a new technique to try. It’s never ending. I had this grand plan on starting a new quilt for myself, until somehow the Stand N’ Stow bag pattern by Atkinson Designs snuck into my queue. A friend has been raving about this bag. She said it only took her […]
