While home for a visit, my mother and I went on a great little day trip. We had lunch at a lovely cafe and then we made our way back lazily stopping in cute shops and antiques stores all while enjoying the lovely summer weather. My mother found a great store that sells hand dyed … More A Vintage Tea Set for Adult Tea Parties
Back again! I mentioned in my previous post that I was working on Colette Patterns’ Ginger skirt, I recently finished the skirt (and by that I mean I finished it in May, whoops!) and I absolutely love it! It was my first time using a Liberty lawn, in an absolutely gorgeous floral. It was a dream … More Colette 1016: Ginger Skirt
I’m so excited about this project, and this gorgeous Liberty fabric! This is the kind of floral that can brighten a day, not to mention a Colette pattern that’s cute to boot! I just need to add a couple of finishing touches and hopefully I’ll be able to have this project up on the site … More Upcoming Project: Colette 1016 (The Ginger)
Back in March of 2014 I hinted I was making a version of the Simplicity 2209 in a cotton white and blue geometric print. I finished it back in May and loved the pattern so much that I made a second one! I really enjoyed putting these dresses together. They were pretty straight forward and I … More Simplicity 2209: Lisette Passport Dress. Two cute summer dresses, in March.
It has been forever since I have posted on this blog!

First off, I decided to make a pretty big life change, and go back to grad … More Wow! It’s been a while!

While we were waiting for our table we looked … More Pretty Summer Accersories: Vintage Finds
Happy Easter! Hopefully by now you’re all drifting off into a lovely chocolate bunny coma, I know I’m definitely reaching chocolate overload! Chocolate, although it is an important part of Easter, isn’t my favorite part. My favorite part of Easter has always been dyeing eggs. I’ve loved decorating eggs ever since I was little (one … More Adventures in Crafting: Easter Edition
Just a sneak peek at what I am currently working on! The blue and white geometric flower print is really getting me excited for summer! Hope to have the garment finished and up on the website very soon!
It seems to be that anytime I finish a garment for spring we get a storm, so just on schedule I finished a pair of the Iris shorts by Colette Patterns and it looks like this outside. It might be a little while before I get to wear them out and about unfortunately, especially if the … More Colette 1022: Iris Shorts
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been looking to The Colette Sewing Handbook for tips and helpful hints on sewing and whatnot. However it wasn’t until recently that I finally got around to trying out one of the patterns! I decided to give the Meringue skirt a try because I adore the … More Colette Meringue Skirt
