{A Homemade Halloween: Villain and Damsel}

October 8, 2019 by kelerr

NOTE: This is a repost from 2013, so keep that in mind while you are reading as I didn’t make any changes to the original content and may make reference to various things that are out of date.  I am continuing my series of reposting various old handmade Halloween costumes until this year’s Halloween costume makes it’s debut. This SHOULD have been the third year in a row that my friend Steve and I created one of our now infamous […]

{A Homemade Halloween: Pirate Snow Globes}

September 27, 2019 by kelerr

Note/Disclaimer: This is another repost of an old Halloween costume.   This was originally posted in 2013, a year after I was supposed to actually use this costume, but because of Hurricane Sandy, work was cancelled on Halloween and this costume never saw the light of day. However, the post was written as though it did. It’s that time of year again, and I’m starting to put together my Homemade Halloween post. This year, the costume needed to be bigger […]

{A Homemade Halloween: Barbie and Ken}

September 24, 2019 by kelerr

NOTE: This is a repost from 2011. Partially because my busy schedule doesn’t allow for as much sewing time as I want and it was rough to come up with something to post for today, and partially because we’re about five weeks from my next Homemade Halloween post (costume top secret until then!). This is one of my proudest accomplishments. So I thought it would be fun to revisit the Halloween posts that probably got buried in the archives! Every […]

{My Makes for August}

September 6, 2019 by kelerr

Oh, man. I went back to work this week and I am exhausted! The first week back is always the roughest, and I’ve gotten home everyday and just completely vegged out on the couch. So far, no sewing has really occurred in September (just a few starts that I need to get back to), but I’m kind of okay with that right now, as I managed to produce six new items in August! First up we have the Chalk and […]

{The Dreaded Unfinished Project Pile}

August 30, 2019 by kelerr

I am the typist of sewist who likes to have more than one project going at a time. Most of the time, I find this makes me more productive. When I get stuck on a step I don’t want to do right away, I can work on something different rather than procrastinate. This is in part why I am able to complete projects so quickly (or often why it seems like I’m completing projects so quickly – I tend to […]

{Tried and True Patterns: The Heather Dress}

August 27, 2019 by kelerr

It’s time for another Tried and True Patterns feature! In order for me to consider a pattern tried and true, I need to have made it at least three times, and this month the Sew Over It Heather dress joined the list. I successfully made my third version of this comfy jersey dress. I was wary of Heather at first glance. I was concerned that it would have a boxy, unflattering fit, but after looking at a lot of samples […]

{Pattern Review: Wren Dress}

August 23, 2019 by kelerr

Like much of what I make, I became interested in the Colette Patterns Wren Dress after seeing someone else’s on their Instagram account. It was one of those situations in which I was vaguely familiar with the pattern, but because I didn’t like the view in the picture, I didn’t explore the other options. And while I don’t like the cover version of the dress, the other view is amazing. So I set to work on the dress. Colette is […]

{Pattern Review: The Fringe Dress}

August 13, 2019 by kelerr

The Chalk and Notch Fringe Dress was my first project of what has started out as a very slow month for sewing. Essentially, life happened, and I ended up extending a trip upstate by a couple of days due to a completely punctured tire. Thankfully, this happened in my sister’s driveway and not on the road, but it also happened at an extremely odd time when we couldn’t bring it in to be fixed, and long story short, my stay […]

{Pattern Review: The Rosie Dress}

August 9, 2019 by kelerr

Aside from new releases, there are very few patterns left at Sew Over It that I haven’t tried to make. The Rosie Dress was one of those patterns. Despite purchasing the pattern quite a long time ago, I just never had the opportunity to make it up. In June, I decided that it would be a delightful dress to wear to my work end term party. I had gotten some really great fabric at the SOI store in London in […]
