Hi friends! Today, we’re going to talk about how to stage a flatlay. This was meant to be part of my Sewing Blog 101 series earlier this year, and somehow I never published it. No worried, though. It’s perfect for this month’s #SewMyStyle2018 prompt, lingerie! One thing I’ve heard repeatedly from you all is that
Lingerie Making Tips and Tricks
It’s the first full week of lingerie month for #SewMyStyle2018, and boy do I have a month planned for you! Last week I shared some lingerie inspiration with you, plus the vocabulary of bra making and my favorite suppliers. Today I’ve got a list of my favorite lingerie making tips and tricks for you so
Bra Vocabulary
Happy Friday, everyone! In honor of this month’s #SewMyStyle2018 theme being lingerie, I thought it might be helpful to have a post explaining some of the vocabulary of bra-making, and with some of my favorite sources for materials. When I first started dabbling in making bras and undies, I was pretty intimidated! You need certain

Simplicity 8700 Utility Jacket
Ever have a project that you can envision so clearly in your mind, but doesn’t come out at all close to what you imagined? Sometimes it’s a disappointment, but sometimes, it’s perfection. And luckily for me, this jacket is perfection! When I set out to make this jacket, I had visions of a great fall
My Fringe Top Hack
Listen, my love for the Fringe is well documented. So it’s no surprise that I’ve been looking forward to the Fringe month of #SewMyStyle2018 all year! Because I’ve made a few Fringe patterns in my day, I wanted to try out something new. For this month’s #SewMyStyle2018, I decided to do a little Fringe top
My First Pair of Ginger Jeans
Six months ago, the thought of making jeans terrified me. Now, I can’t make enough! Making my own jeans is seriously one of the most empowering things I’ve ever done. I’ve never been someone looking to have a 100% handmade wardrobe, but jeans are definitely an area I would be happy with only me-mades. Okay,
The Ali Sweatshirt
It seems a little crazy to be posting a sweatshirt right now. Even though we’re over halfway through September (oh my god, how are we halfway through September), it’s still 95° F/35° C here in St. Louis. Admittedly, that’s out of character for this time of the year, but even last year at this time
DIY Faux Fur Vest
Okay, I admit it: I’m a little extra. Not all the time, but there are some things for which I just can’t resist going a little over the top. And faux fur is one of those things! When JOANN let me know they were sending me some of their new faux fur for this month’s
