{Pattern Review: Deer and Doe Coquelicot Dress}

May 7, 2021 by kelerr

I am pretty on the ball when it comes to new pattern releases, at least from the companies that I know and love. Sometimes a new pattern will come out and I’ll get it but not make it right away and other times, the pattern will be bought, printed and sewn before even a week has passed. This is what happened with the new Deer and Doe Coquelicot Dress. I have had this pretty floral fabric in my stash for […]

{Latest Make: By Hand London Elisalex Dress}

May 4, 2021 by kelerr

After the success of my By Hand London Elisalex Dress back in November (possibly October?), I wanted to try my hand at another one as soon as possible. It was such a quick and easy make and A few months ago, I bought this amazing stretch sateen from Blackbird Fabrics. When I first saw it on their website, I knew it would be perfect for Elisalex, but I felt like it was too expensive to justify buying at the time, […]

{Out and About: Mohonk Mountain House}

April 9, 2021 by kelerr

When I was a kid, my mom used to take my sister and I to Mohonk Mountain House, and we loved it. I’ve always had a love for all things fancy, and a giant old Victorian house that asked you to get dressed up for dinner was right up my alley (it still is)! I have so many childhood memories of being there. I think we went a total of four times, and each time was a little bit different. […]

{Out and About: Friends Exhibit}

April 6, 2021 by kelerr

Last week, my friend Sarah and I had a girls’ staycation weekend. We were newly off for Spring Break, wanted to do something but found travel planning to be difficult with working around various restrictions and worrying that places we wanted to go to would be closed. Instead, we decided to have a “staycation” weekend (or, really, an overnight) as we already had tickets to the Friends Experience exhibit (we were supposed to go in December, but I ended up […]

{What I Read: February & March 2021}

April 2, 2021 by kelerr

I’m back! I really needed that blog break over the last couple months as I had to let go of some of the expectations on myself (particularly the self-imposed ones that, in the grand scheme of things, aren’t going to affect anyone really!) in order to get some work stuff done that really needed doing AND keep my sanity and well-being while doing it. However, things are calming down and I should be back to whatever normal is for this […]

{Happy Birthday to Me!}

March 12, 2021 by kelerr

I’m celebrating a big birthday today… 40! Hard to believe since it feels like my 30th was yesterday. I had a huge party for it but of course that wasn’t really in the cards for this year. And honestly? I don’t know if it’s what I would’ve wanted anyway. Even pre-a year of quarantine my tolerance for large gatherings was waning and so I decided to just do a series of smaller things (on the actual day, a friend is […]

{Costume Design: The Beast from Beauty and the Beast}

February 23, 2021 by kelerr

Note: This post is originally from 2018 and it outlines the Beast costume. I’m doing limited new blogging this week as I am costuming not one but TWO virtual shows and just have a ton to do. Something will have to give and blogging is low on my priority list. However, as it happens, I did a series of posts from when we originally did Beauty and the Beast. Since we’re rebooting it this year, I thought it fitting to […]

{How I Choose & Buy Fabric}

February 12, 2021 by kelerr

A while back I did a post on some of my favorite places to buy fabric, but today I’m going to add on with some insights into how I choose fabrics for my projects. If you’ve been hanging around here for a while, then you know that I tend to gravitate towards florals and quirky prints. I am always on the lookout for new fun print for my next dress (because let’s face it, I mainly make dresses and rarely […]

{Latest Make: Sew Over It Vintage Shirt Dress}

February 9, 2021 by kelerr

January was a productive month for me but, even though we are only a weekend a few odd days into February, I already know the productivity factor will not be as large. So far, I have managed one make, and it’s the Sew Over It Vintage Shirt Dress. This is a tried and true favorite, made numerous times, but this is the first time I tried it with the sleeves. I have had this project in mind for a while, […]
