    I totally think the natural progression for a sewist/seamstress/sewer/etc.. is making your own patterns.  OK, no, I’m not getting ready to drop a pattern line, but I think there’s some value in understanding fundamentally how patterns work so it’s easier to modify.  Now, that’s just my thinking, I have an analytical mind and I think it terms of processes and more importantly building on knowledge.  I’m not one of those people that can do something without ever being exposed to it unless it’s similar to what I’ve already done before hence my ridiculous pattern stash which at least half of is basics that I should know how to do by…

  • Another Ogden Cami

    June 6, 2018 / 17 Comments

    Don’t judge me, I’ve had this cut out for at least 2.5 months.  What had happen was, lol…  For reals, when I “put stuff away” I forget about them, this was in a bin of “things to sew” that I totally forgot about.  As a matter of fact, that bin is being used as an additional end table in my sewing room so, there’s that lol!!!  And, I already have an end table in the sewing room, so yeah, there are a few things coming that I forgot about in the box.  This is what happens when I try to organize, I forget about stuff!  No, I’m pretty organized, but…

    March 13, 2018 / 27 Comments

    Pivot and Slide FBA with no adjustments to the waist and hip. No pulling at center front I know I’m late with this make, but I wanted a nice cami that had feminine details and the True Bias Ogden cami fit the bill.  After looking for reviews, I saw a few with FBA’s and some plus size bodies so that was good.  I decided to give it a try and see which FBA would look the best. I took a lot of mirror selfies so we can see the differences, these are muslin’s so I didn’t feel like pulling out the tripod, so yeah, this is what we got! Ohh,…
