Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick B5982

May 16, 2022May 16, 2022Leave a comment

Vintage sewing patterns aren't always the easiest to find. Trust me, I've been hunting certain ones for years and it's certainly a challenge. As I continue to share sewing pattern reviews, I want to make sure I try out and test modern patterns that can be sewn up to look vintage. With basic sewing skills, … Continue reading Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick B5982

Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick 5209

May 6, 2022May 8, 2022Leave a comment

As for sewing novices, we all choose a pattern and eventually just choose the wrong fabric to go with it. The project turns out a disaster, we absolutely have a meltdown and the pattern gets called "stupid" and thrown back into the pattern pile never to resurface again. All in all, it was probably our … Continue reading Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick 5209

Vintage Sewing Pattern Simplicity 8398 from 1951

April 29, 2022May 2, 2022Leave a comment

I've stumbled down the sewing rabbit hole and it's become my safe space after a hard day of work. This year, I'm attempting to cut down my consumption which also includes sewing materials unless it's for a very specific project. Because of this I've been "shopping my stash" often and going through the fabric and … Continue reading Vintage Sewing Pattern Simplicity 8398 from 1951

Sewing Pattern Review: McCalls M7950

April 4, 2022April 27, 20221 Comment

As summer is slowly starting to wrap up, although it always has a few more hot days as a final hurrah so I know it's not over just yet, I thought I'd go ahead and sew up a modern pattern that I believe can be styled vintage. Today's pattern of choice is McCall's M7950 looking … Continue reading Sewing Pattern Review: McCalls M7950

Sewing a Bridgerton Inspired Gown using Butterick 6074

March 25, 2022March 24, 20222 Comments

Dear gentle reader, it is time for another round of Bridgerton. Oh, how I burn with excitement. Like most of the world, I too fell in love with the world of Bridgerton when it came out last year; I loved the characters, the story, (the steamy scenes), and of course, the costumes. We all know … Continue reading Sewing a Bridgerton Inspired Gown using Butterick 6074

Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
What are your weekend plans? I'm having an Endo flare up so if I manage to get up off the couch, that's me being productive. In spirit I'll be off adventuring ❤️
Is it weird to miss a certain fabric? I'm still obsessed with this yellow retro floral fabric from @pbsfabrics and I've already got it in green and soon to be pink. But, I want to make another dress out of the yellow. I know I'm on a fabric shopping ban but should I break it to get some more of this gorgeous yellow? It's just so pretty and I want it on a dress with sleeves! Thoughts?
Is everyone ready for Easter weekend? I'm not putting up my decorations this year due to renovations but I still have some Easter baking to do. Do you have an Easter tradition?
