Spring is almost through here in upstate New York and I am pleased to say that I had a rather productive one! I got to sew up some pieces that I had been thinking about for a really long time and it feels so good to finally be able to wear them. I caught up with the talented photographer, Dave Blenis, recently and got to show some of my newest sewing pieces off. Read through and check out my homemade spring wardrobe pieces from 2017. After wearing them for some time, I have some new insight into them that I’m going to share here. From my Red Riding hoodie to my embroidered Bohemian tunic to my Mad Men inspired skirt… Enjoy!
Also, as a side note, my husband enjoyed this spring wardrobe photo shoot because he got to take a brief vacation from being my Instagram Husband. 🙂
Today is a good day. Today I finally begin my Christmas present to me! I’m going to make a classy plaid skirt that will *hopefully* be done in time for Christmas. This will be a gathered skirt tutorial. I’ve been wanting to make something plaid for the winter season. In the back of my mind I kept thinking about this lovely skirt made by Gina Michelle and decided that it would be a classy winter look using some plaid fabric.
It’s sad to say, but summer is ending and the cold weather is coming! We’ve been doing a little cleaning around here and I’ve been getting rid of a bunch of old clothes. I pulled out this old pink sweater for the donation pile, when I realized it would make a really cute sweater skirt perfect for the early fall weather. I’ve been really digging skirts lately since my Perfect Pencil Skirt I made it a little while back. Read on for my upcycle sweater into skirt tutorial!
Today I will show you how to make a pencil skirt, and this pencil skirt tutorial is one that I have been thinking about making for a while now. I actually haven’t made a skirt since my Golden Skirt Tutorial which is from way back when I just started this blog! Now that I have my little kiddo, it’s hard to find the time to do any intricate sewing. This one is quick, easy, and to the point. Can’t go wrong with that. Read along for my DIY perfect pencil skirt tutorial.
