    Sewing Machine buying

    I’m going to say something that may be counter intuitive to my ethos: Don’t buy that sewing machine. What?! I thought she was a sewing teacher and trying to get more folks sewing. I am and I do with a caveat. I don’t want you to buy the mini sewing machine or that hand held…

  • Using a basic block EasyT to create a dress

    I was gifted the class the EasyT by SewHere.com a few years ago. I created woven and knit teeshirts and dresses cut to my own measurements. When my mind wandered to caftans thanks to the hashtag Caftans and cocktails it came up with a shape I couldn’t quite find in a store bought or indie…

  • The Kitchen Refresh

    Once upon a time we moved to Los Angeles, it was a big move and one we have been so thankful to have made work for our family. It wasn’t easy, we made lots of moves for financial reasons, educational ones and once unplanned circumstances but made it to homeownership again. We searched for a…

  • Washi Dress Expansion Pack

    Wow it is so hard to photograph navy sheer brocade! But I think it was finally managed. Having sewn the original Washi Dress pattern with a successful full bust adjustment or FBA, and loved the shape on me I was ready for more. So when Rae of Made by Rae, gifted the expansion pack for…

    This dress is one of my favorite garments in my closet. It’s busy but in the repeating black chevrons hides a peek of fuchsia and the pockets hold EVERYTHING. This is the Washi Dress from Made by Rae patterns. I have tested a few patterns for Rae in the past but purchased this pattern. The…
