PDF PATTERN REVIEW: The Uptown/Downtown Dress
Good Morning Lovelies! We made our last Disneyland visit for this year last week and I decided it was much too cold to consider any cosplay dresses. The wind chill was something fierce! Brrrr!!! I had some more Disney knit in my stash and again, turned to the inter webs to search for a suitable pattern. I wanted something with a turtle neck […]
PDF Pattern Testing: The Gertie’s Soda Shop Dress
Happy Tuesday Lovelies! So a while ago I answered the call for a PRE-TEST (which is the step before the actual testing of a pattern) for Gertie’s Soda Shop Dress by MCM Studio Designs. I’ve never submitted for a pre-test before, but I was so drawn to the line image design of the dress that I just had to do […]
PATTERN REVIEW: Made for Mermaids Pattern Mash Up
Hey guys! Our monthly Disneyland trip snuck up on me and two days before we were scheduled to go I realized I HAD NOTHING PLANNED, nor did I have time to put a cosplay together.

PDF Pattern Testing: The Fishtail Kimono by Chalk and Notch
Happy Hump Day Lovelies! Today, I get to share with you another cozy, perfect-for-FALL sew – the adorable THE FISHTAIL KIMONO by Chalk and Notch.

I always look forward to working with designers I […]

PDF Pattern Review: The Adelaide Sundress by Townmouse
Hey Lovelies! Yaaay! Finally something sewing related right?!!! I know, its been long enough…SHEESH!! Sooooooo, I intended to sew up and review the super cute Adelaide Sundress by Townmouse before we left for Belize, but time ran up on me and I just couldn’t finish it in time.

Good Morning Lovelies! I haven’t blogged in a week, and it seems like forever! I’ve been a little busy with pattern testing and I’m also working on a personal project (can’t wait to to share more about that soon!) so it’s been a little challenging to find the time. Last week I had the honor of testing Poppy’s Peplum Pants by Filles […]
PATTERN REVIEW: Simplicity 1914
Hey guys, So I was organizing my little space the other day and came across this sweet little vintage Simplicity pattern, I don’t even know how long I’ve had it because I can’t even remember where I got it from. It’s a really old pattern, according to the envelope it was printed in 1945 and costed only 20cents at that […]
