Jersey Skirt


My pretty sister models her jersey skirt, made using this tutorial (sans pockets). I love the color combo.

Dreaming about Dresses






I would love to make a dress like any of these from etsy seller DearGoldenVintage via. Do you know of a similar pattern?

Very Biased



I used this lovely tutorial to make another under $5 skirt.

I was very excited to see myself on this post while on vacation. Thank you Katy!

Return of the Gauchos





Remember when gauchos were fashionable five or so years ago? I don't know why I thought they'd look good on me! The length and billowyness made me look shorter and weren't that flattering.

But now they have a multi tasking new life. Is it a skirt or a dress? Is it maternity attire or non maternity attire? Is it loungewear or a swim cover up? It's all of the above.

I cut the seam that made each pant leg a leg, got rid of the curving for the um, seat of the gauchos, and sewed the two legs together. Fabulous!

PS I know I didn't need to include all of these pictures but don't you love how The Princess appears? :)

Walking Foot





Pinning, going slow, adjusting tension, unpicking, repinning, unpicking; sewing with minkee is kinda difficult. I think I need a walking foot. Do you have one? Is it worth the cost?

Martha's Devil's Food Cupcakes


I can't stop thinking about them! And I couldn't stop eating them all weekend. The batter mixes up so fluffy and nice. These have changed my mind about making cakes from scratch. It's a game changer!
