{Pattern Review: Sew Over It Silk Cami}

June 28, 2019 by kelerr

If you can believe it, there are still Sew Over It patterns that I haven’t tried. For the most part, this is because I don’t believe that they’ll be flattering on me as they are a looser, boxier fit. Because I have a slightly fuller bust, I generally don’t like how these types of garment look on me. I like a little bit of fit to them, and so I tend to avoid the boxier shapes and got for fitted […]

{Tried and True Patterns: The Vintage Shirt Dress}

June 25, 2019 by kelerr

I apparently have no rhyme or reason to my “tried and true” patterns series. The last one I wrote was last month, and it was about the Sew Over It Betty Dress. This month I’m featuring another Sew Over It pattern that I have made numerous times: the Vintage Shirt Dress. The Vintage Shirt Dress was my gateway drug into Sew Over It’s patterns. It was the first pattern I bought and the first pattern I made. It was also […]

{Costume Design Archives: The Music Man}

June 21, 2019 by kelerr

A few months ago, I wrote this post, “On Costume Design.” In it I talked about why I love designing theatrical costumes, and how I got started doing so. I had a number of photos from my past costuming jobs, and I thought it would be fun to go into a little more detail, show by show. The Music Man was my very first costuming job, back in 2008. It is insane to think that all these children are long […]

{Patterns I’m Excited to Try}

June 18, 2019 by kelerr

As I wrap up another school year, I find that I have once again forgotten just how insanely busy June is. I feel like I have an event every other day (and that isn’t far from the truth – I have one tomorrow, Friday and Tuesday, and – added bonus! – I need to take my car in to have the air conditioner repaired on Saturday). Add to that the fact that I need to move classrooms this year, and […]

{Plans for My Sewing Space}

June 14, 2019 by kelerr

As my sewing skills have grown, so has the need for a functional sewing space. I live in a one bedroom apartment that is, admittedly, very spacious but sewing is not the kind of hobby that can fit easily into a little corner. Perhaps it is for some people, but the way I operate, it definitely does not! Ideally I need a second bedroom (or really a third so I can also have guests), but that’s not really in the […]

{Me Made May Recap}

June 11, 2019 by kelerr

If you’re at all involved in the sewing world, you know the month of May as Me Made May. This year, I pledged to wear me made clothing every work day of the month, and to finally learn to make my own jeans. I was half successful. Let’s begin with my massive failure: making jeans. First off, I don’t consider this project a failure because I made bad jeans. I consider the project a failure because I didn’t even TRY! […]

{My Makes for May}

June 7, 2019 by kelerr

This month, I had a late surge in my projects. Mid-month, I thought I was only going to manage one or two things, but I ended up with four when all was said and done, and have a few that are almost done but didn’t quite make the cut to count as being finished in May (now let’s hope those actually GET finished for the June post!). My first make was the Itch to Stitch Kalispell dress. This was a […]

{What I Read: May 2019}

June 4, 2019 by kelerr

We’ve reached the end of May and the beginning of June which means it’s time for another edition of “What I Read!” Despite this month being insanely busy, I managed to eke out a few books. First up was Pretty Girls Dancing, by Kyle Brant. This book was one of my Kindle first selections, so I got it for free at the beginning of the month at some point or another. It’s been in my kindle for a long time, […]
