As a member of the Sew Over it PDF Club, I get to see – and buy- their new pattern releases a week ahead of the general public. Of course, then I also have to keep those patterns a secret from the general public until the wider release. Normally this is no problem, but every now and then they release a pattern that I get super psyched about right away. That is what happened this month. Meet Maisie, inspired by […]

At the beginning of June, Sew Over It released their third ebook, Summer Dreaming. I knew immediately that I needed to have the Siena Dress in my wardrobe. It’s the perfect sundress. Granted, I have absolutely nowhere to wear it right now, but I love it just the same. I used fabric from the new Atelier Brunette collection. The summery leaf patten in pinks and blues was so beautiful and I knew it was screaming to be a sundress. The […]

Moving right along with my rereading of the BSC and coming up with plots I definitely want to see the new series tackle and others that I know can be easily set to the side and I won’t miss them. Though, truth be told, I am so happy with how the series came out, I think I would be good with almost anything. However, there are certain things that 100% need to be in the series (hello, Stacey’s parents’ divorce […]

Today I’m veering off into the land of food again, but this time with a recipe. This is the easiest summer lunch or appetizer there is – though I have made it at any time of year! However, the combination of goat cheese, tomato and basil is perfect for summer evening. I first go this recipe in the Friends cookbook (yes, there was a cookbook from the t.v. show), and over the years it has taken on variations as I’ve […]

Instead of overloading my page with BSC-related posts, I figured I’d do my catch up book post with the latest fifteen books, and clump them together a tad to make things easier. So this post is going to cover books 26-40 as well as Super Specials 3, 4, & 5. A lot of material to cover so let’s jump right in. In book twenty-six, Claudia and the Sad Good-bye, Martin once again brings us into a heavier area for our […]

It’s been seven months since the third season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel hit the air, and I’m still thinking about one dress in particular. If you’re familiar with the show, its the one Midge wears when she goes out with Lenny Bruce in Miami. For those not familiar with the show, it’s this one: I had a pretty good idea of what pattern I want to use, Simplicity 8594. However, I am going into this fully knowing that I […]

I promise this has not become a BSC fan site, though I will be the first to admit that’s what it looks like. What happened to sewing, you might ask? Well, it’s still happening, but quite slowly. This remains, at it’s heart, a mostly about sewing blog though I do discuss my small list of interests as stated in the little tagline of the site! I also want to remain fairly relevant and talk about things in a timely fashion, […]

I managed to go out with a sewing bang at the tail end of June. I had been sewing relatively steadily until June hit, although I found myself with a ton of unfinished projects. I also realized that quarantine weight was a bit of a problem, and a lot of things I cut out a while ago and worked on… well, they don’t really fit right now. So while I’ve completed a few projects, I have yet to model them […]

You may (or may not) have noticed that I took June off. I didn’t do this on purpose at first, but after a week of being too busy to come up with posts, I decided to let myself have time to finish up all the work I needed to do. I was creating my school’s virtual graduation for our 8th graders, and it took up a lot more of my days than I thought it would, though in retrospect I […]
