  • DIY Square Neck Concord T Shirt Dress Hack

    Are you sick of seeing me in T-shirt dresses yet?  No, great, I don’t have any plans on stopping, T-shirt dresses are awesome!  I recommend everyone that sews get a few TNT (tried and true) patterns.  There’s nothing like just getting in there, cutting the fabric and sewing it up, no surprises!  I can’t tell you what your machine will do, but if you haven’t fluctuated too much on your weight, the pattern should be good to go.  So, speaking of fluctuating, I tend to measure myself almost every time I make a new pattern, if its more on the fitted side.  I do a quick measurement of my bust,…

  • Remake: M6886 (modified) hacked + wide legged pants

    June 26, 2017 / 6 Comments

    Hi ya!  I’m super excited about this outfit, I modified my beloved M6886.  You can check out my original review of the pattern here.  This pattern is very popular on pattern review and with sewist around the world.  It’s a basic knit pattern that can be the foundation for tons of knit and woven garments.  Sewist have used this pattern to make T Shirts, dresses, tops, etc, it truly is versatile.  To round out this outfit, I also made wide legged pants using Simplicity 8389, if you remember, I made the shorts to S8389.  The only modification to the original was I made pants instead of shorts.  The construction of…
