At the end of January, Eryn [the owner and pattern designer for Style Sew Me Patterns] released the Giselle Dress. Prior to this month, I ain’t never sewn one of her patterns, but from the minute I saw it, this dress started speaking to me in all kinda tongues!
Today’s post is all the tea about the Gilbert Top by Helen’s Closet. TBH, I don’t have a lot of memade tops in my wardrobe… I really am to blame for that because I have a particular affinity to dresses. The resulting wardrobe gap has me feelin’ sticky so it’s time to fill in the blanks (at least in part). What better way to start than with the Gilbert Top?
This year I’m “queening it”… yup you heard me! I’m treating myself like royalty for the whole of 2021 to make up for 2020! I’m brining you a Whole. Noda. Mood for 2021!
My final shoot for the year went down on the 5th of December. We spent our Saturday afternoon capturing stills of my latest make, another Simplicity 8014 – this one in Caramel Predator’s Pride cotton poplin from Mood!
It cost me $508.32 to make Simplicity 8014. How is this possible? Come join me for all the tea!!!
We island people say ‘when it’s nice, you gotta do it twice!’ A beg yuh, keep this phrase in mind as you read through my latest confession!
October is always a busy month for me. Both my husband and daughter are Libras and my Octobers are usually reserved for party planning and the likes. But, when I saw @scarletstitchonline rebrand October as #patternhacktober, in celebration of her birth month, I just HAD to jump on board. Because who doesn’t love a good pattern hack?
I cannot, and SHALL NOT lie… pants have been my nemesis! I made a few unsuccessful attempts in the past and have tried a combination of every pant adjustment under the sun, at one point or another. Each time, I abandoned the project… but never the learnings.
Today I wanna talk about one of Butterick Patterns newest drops for the summer – #b6758.
