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…

A Few Sewing Summer Plans for 2023
Hi everyone! It’s summer time and temperatures where I live are starting to become hotter. I need to stay inside more this summer, so I decided to pick up all the sewing plans I need to work this summer and make them. I really am excited about my sewing plans for this summer, but I didn’t write all the plans I have. I wanted all the projects on this list to be the most important ones I want to talk about online. There are others, such as quilts I want to make, that I will not be mentioning here. Also, I’m not including the Red, White, and Blue quilt pillow…

New Spring 2022 Sewing Patterns for Prom Dresses- Simplicity and New Look
A few weeks ago, I wrote four posts about sewing patterns I think could make prom dresses. Since then, two of the big four sewing pattern companies released their Spring 2022 pattern collections. In these releases, there are new formal patterns as well as dress patterns that could work as prom dresses. Since there are so many dress and formal clothing patterns to pick from, I wanted to write new posts about these patterns. For this new series of posts, I’m starting with Simplicity patterns. Along with Simplicity, I will also talk about a New Look sewing pattern that is new for Spring 2022 and I think could work as…

Sewing Progress for May 22, 2021- Fall Quilt and Christmas Dress
Through out the month of May, I tried to work on my sewing work in progress projects that I never got around to finish. I have so many of these that I’m very embarrassed to admit how many of them I need to work on. I did make progress with my sewing projects, but I didn’t make as large of a dent in my to-do list that I wanted to. So, on the second to last weekend in May, I decided to pick up my sewing projects and finish as many as I could before May 31. Even though I work from home, I knew I would have an easy…

Takane Shijou’s Thank You Dress from Idolm@ster
A Note Before Reading this Post… I wrote this post in April 2015, but never posted it because I wanted to make a few changes to the costume. In 2015, I did not go to Phoenix Comicon (Now known as Phoenix Fan Fusion) like I planned. I recently rediscovered this post saved and ready to be posted. Currently, I’m looking through my old costumes to see if there is anything I don’t fit into and would I would like to remake. The Takane Shijou Thank You Dress from Idolm@ster is one of those dresses. Before I begin to seriously look into remaking the dress, I wanted to publish this post…
