I am constantly browsing Instagram to find new patterns to make. I love it when I stop and look at someone’s make, only to learn that it’s the same pattern that I stopped at and admired on another day or in another post. I love seeing different ways patterns can be made up and I love finding new ones that I want to try. More than once, this has happened with a Deer and Doe pattern, and it’s usually one […]

My July makes post is not a particularly exciting one I’m afraid, but at least there’s something to look at! Now that I’m doing pattern reviews for the new patterns I use, it gets harder to figure out where to fit in the makes from tried and true patterns. As most of my July sewing projects were new (or new-to-me!) patterns, I haven’t produced a ton of tried and trues. However, I did make this Sew Over It Marguerite dress […]

Part of what I’ve been trying to do during this quarantine period is finishing up a ton of stuff from my Unfinished Projects Pile. The Darling Ranges Dress from Megan Nielsen Patterns has been sitting in that pile for at least a year. I’m not even positive just how long it’s been there, but I know it had to have been last summer at the earliest that I cut it out. And then I promptly put it in a drawer […]

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 […]

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 […]

I don’t have a ton of sewing to show off from the last couple of weeks. I am sewing, but it’s at a slower pace since I’m still staying with family and working remotely and so my time is taken up by more stuff, and I don’t love sewing outside of my set up space at home. However, I have found ways to be productive and make some things happen. So when I sat down to think about the post […]
