    It’s been a while since I’ve blogged one of my makes. I wore a jacket the other day and I know I made it, but I couldn’t remember the pattern or the adjustments, ugh! I started blogging to keep track of what I made and also as a reference for the adjustments and my pattern/fabric likes and dislikes. Over the course of the last year and a half I just haven’t prioritized sewing and or documenting my sewing. That crap stops today LOL, I always tell myself I’ll remember what I did, Lies!!! I will not remember at all! I’ve been buying lots of clothes and not finishing my makes,…

    Need a necklace I just want to document #3 of Simplicity 1279.  This shirt pattern is my boo and I really like the fit.  If you follow me on instagram, in my stories I share a lot of how my projects look and my thoughts way before I blog about it.  I’ve been on a shirt making kick and, as I work through my wardrobe essentials, this had to made.  The only change I’ve made from the this version was adding the button band to the front bodice and leaving off the collar.  I used Simplicity 8014 to give me an idea of how I wanted to do that.  I…

    Anytime Jenny releases a pattern, I jump on it.  I’m all about support because I can’t complain about stuff and then not support people when they try to meet the need.  I’m getting pretty good at fit and I can and I have adjusted patterns to fit my body but I still purchase patterns designed to make sewing and fit easier.  I’m excited to see all the possibilities of sewing, it’s still a challenge, it’s still exciting and it’s still frustrating!  The chest is a bit snug on this top, I measured myself but I still find it snug in the upper chest area.  I graded up to 20 for…
