My parents and sister and I went to Toronto for our extended family Easter potluck last weekend, and we took a quick family picture to send all the exchange students who lived with us over the years! It was throughly handmade – I made my dress, jacket, Anne’s dress and my mom’s top, Anne made … More Family Easter Fun (And finally my sister wearing a dress I’ve made her!)
… but this one is not for me! When I first ordered the modal jersey for my Day and Night Dress Challenge from Stylish Fabrics, they accidentally shipped this poly crepe doubleknit (also known as Liverpool) instead. They were very nice about it and resent the correct fabric right away. Stylish Fabrics was a sponsor … More Another classic black dress from Stylish Fabrics!

Here’s what I chose to use: Sewaholic Renfrew cowl (the best cowl ever, but … More A TNT Trifecta!
Two weeks ago I posted about my tester version of the new Cashmerette Belmont leggings, and and mentioned how I hadn’t tried the top out yet… well, now I have! The Cedar pattern include a fitted workout tank which I’m not likely to ever make… and a loose dolman tee with an optional tie hem. … More Cashmerette Cedar Top – and how I added long sleeves!
You might not know it, but I haven’t taken blog pictures in two months. Over the course of the fall I started having sciatic pain in my legs, and by November it was full-blown back pain! Thankfully, it’s all been sorted out now (my nerve was being pinched by sitting on plastic school chairs and … More I’m back in the game – and wearing Cashmerette leggings!
Prepare your eyeballs, my friends, because this is a whole lot of skirt! It actually took about 5m of the 6m cut of wax print that I bought – and here I was thinking I could get a pair of pyajama pants out of the extras!
