10 Well Known(ish) Dresses on My To-Sew Bucket List
In an attempt to avoid sewing, digitally painting, my day job, and anything else I should be working on by blogging, I decided to make a post sharing the top 10 dresses I would like to sew one day. The dresses on this list existed and was used as clothing. Some are haute couture while others are historical dresses worn by well known figures of history. Some are also well known but there are some that aren’t as well known. Thus why I call them “well known(ish)” dresses. 😉 All the photographs in this post do not belong to me and belong to their respective owners.

Sewing a Fleece 1950’s Swing Coat- Simplicity 8509
Hi everyone! It’s been a long time since I talked about something I sewed this year. (The last few sewing posts are at least two years old) I wanted to start sewing more lately, but I didn’t have the time to do so until this October. The first sewing project I wanted to make is a 1950’s style Halloween themed outfit. I decided to make a 1950’s style outfit for Halloween because I normally work and doing errands on Halloween and this year would be not exception. Since I would not be going to a Halloween party and didn’t need a costume, I wanted to make myself a Halloween inspired…

Marvel’s Avengers Rectangle Skirt
Hi everyone! A few months ago, I went to the movies to see Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War. I originally wanted to see it on opening weekend, and planned to dress up for fun. Even though I planned on dressing up, I decided not to, mostly because I didn’t have the time to finish any of my Avenger costumes. Instead, I decided to make a skirt to wear with a shirt I bought. After finishing the skirt, I got sick and ended up not seeing the movie until a few weeks after it opened. Even though I was disappointed I couldn’t see it when I wanted to, and already knew what…

Elizabethan Whovian- The Underskirt
Hi everyone! I’m sorry I didn’t make a blog post last week. I had plans for the past weekend that took away from blog writing time. So, I decided not to make a blog post last week. Unfortunately, my planed ended up not working out so now I’m kicking myself for not posting anything at all. In order to get myself back into blogging, I’m going to talk about something simple: the underskirt for the Elizabethan Whovian costume. Although the underskirt of the costume isn’t as interesting as the gown’s construction, I still had problems with it. I used the same pattern for the underskirt for the gown, Simplicity’s 3782.…

Simplicity 1940’s Skirt
Lately I’ve been sewing costumes for this year’s Arizona Renaissance Festival. All the costumes I’m working on are complex and/or detailed and, although everything looks good and is coming together well, I became dishearten about the speed I was working on them. I thought it would be a good self esteem booster to make a simple sewing project and show myself that I can sew fast, sew very well, and the only reason why it takes me so long to make the costumes is because they are just that complex and has nothing to do with my sewing abilities. Back in December, I found a reprint of a 1940’s Simplicity…

2014 Costume and Sewing Round Up
Even though I always wanted make a costume and sewing round up post, I never made one before. I decided this year to change it! I also decided to do a round up post for my art and photography, but those are coming soon. This year I didn’t get the chance to wear many of the costumes I made. Usually what happened is whenever the event I was going to dress up for came, I got sick (Arizona Renaissance Festival) or I got hurt and didn’t feel like dressing up. (Phoenix Comicon) Fortunately, some of the costumes looked like regular clothes so I was able to wear pieces of them…
