Navy and Flower Sleeping Top Completed
Hi everyone! A few months ago, I decided to make myself some new pajama/sleeping clothes. I started making myself pajamas and sleeping clothes for several years due to cost, wear and tear, and to avoid aggravating my sensitive skin. In a previous post, which you can read here, I talked about making pajamas out of Waverly fabric from Walmart. I decided to use the navy and floral fabric to make myself a sleeping top to match my shorts.

Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004: Cutting Out Pieces & Thoughts on Cutting Them Out of Bed Sheets
Hi everyone! Over a year ago, I planned on publishing more posts about my sewing progress creating Vogue Patterns’ V2004. I got sidetracked while writing the posts, so I ended up leaving them as drafts. Over a year later, I decided to finish writing the posts. In that time, I decided to scrap my old version of the dress and make a new one. I really didn’t like the way it fit in the chest, so I decided to remake it. I cut out all the pieces… and that’s as far as I’ve gotten in making it. Even though the posts I worked are for the first version of the…

All The Waverly 1 Yard Pre Cut Coordinating Fabric Designs I Don’t Have Projects For
Hi everyone! While going through the photographs I uploaded onto this blog to use for posts, I found some photographs of Waverly fabric I purchased at Walmart. I could clearly tell intended on using for a future post. The problem is I don’t know what the sewing projects are! I decided that if I don’t use them for a post, I’ll delete them so there will be more space for other photographs. After a lot of thought, I decided to use all the photographs in one big post, showing off the fabrics, how well they coordinate with each other, and what I probably was thinking of using them for.

Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004: Playing With Trim Variations and My Final Decision
Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I wrote a post about sewing my Vogue V2004 dress. Sadly, the final dress I made didn’t fit me right, so I decided to make another one. Even though I had a fitting setback with my first dress, I still have some posts to publish about making it. When I decided to make a new dress, I decided to make it using the same fabric and trim, but I enlarged the bust to make it fit me better. In this post, I want to talk about the trim options I had and what I ultimately picked for the first dress. Since the second…

Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004: The Fashion Fabric & Lining Fabric
Hi everyone! It’s time for a new post in my series about how I made Vogue Pattern V2004! This time, I will be talking about the fabric I choose for the outer/fashion fabric and the lining fabric. By the time this post is published, the dress is already completed! The reasons why I decided to delay posts about making it in a more realistic time is due to the fact I had some fit problems with the bodice. I know what went wrong and how to fix it, but I needed time to focus on it instead of writing posts about the dress in real time. I will go into…

New Sewing Project! Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004
Hi everyone! It’s been a few years since I wrote a series of posts about sewing clothing. I used to do this a lot for the costumes I made. Today, I prefer to make my own clothes instead of costumes! Since I shifted my attention to sewing clothing for myself, I decided to document my process of making clothing in blog posts. The piece of clothing I decided to make is a summer dress using Vogue Pattern’s V2004. I planned on making this pattern for an Easter dress, but the physical pattern didn’t arrive until after Easter. I decided to use cotton sateen fabric to make view A (AKA the…

McCall’s M5513 Sewing Plans and Fabric Selection
Hi everyone! Due to circumstances beyond my control, I’m having problems working on my sewing projects. I had plans to work on and finish at least three sewing projects this month, but I still have yet to work on them. None the less, I decided to switch my attention to other sewing projects that create things I know I will like to make in the coming months. One of the things I will need are coats. I already own coats, but after years of making due with the ill fitting coats I purchased, I decided to make my own. I already have plans to make two coats, but they are…
