I have been wanting to sew a swing dress/shirt for a long time, and since I’ve been feeling good, I jumped on the opportunity to use the McCall’s pattern M6886. If you follow Riva La Diva, she always uses it, so I knew it had to be a great basic dress pattern. The pattern is very basic and doesn’t … Continue reading “DIY Swing Dress”
Fabric: Red knit fabric from JoAnn’s (I don’t have the exact percentages)Pattern: Lark Tee – Scoop neck version with fabric added to the bottom as the skirt This pretty thing was my graduation dress! Unfortunately not very many people saw it under my robe, though. I had some extra fabric towards the end when I was adding the skirt so … Continue reading “DIY Gathered Skirt Dress”
Fabric: Jersey Knit from JoAnn’s Pattern: Hey June, Union St. Tee I decided on Friday that I was pretty much fed up with doing school work and job work and that I was going to take the afternoon for some ‘me-time’ and finally sew something (I was having withdrawals). Lately, while I’ve been looking for fabric, I’ve been really thinking … Continue reading “DIY Union St. Tee (Scoop Neck)”
I think that I’ve officially become a pillowcase hoarder collector now. I’m cool with it, though – if it means my couch can always be this cute. Sequins are such a great way to add some fun to anything! I always wondered how to sew sequins onto fabric, but in all the sequin tutorials I looked up people just glued the … Continue reading “DIY Pillowcase with Overlapping Sequins [Sewing Tutorial]”
When I first learned to make these, we were living in a basement, and our furniture is all really dark. So I decided that the cheapest way for me to brighten up our living room was to buy plain pillows and make pillowcases that were whatever pattern, color, and texture that I wanted. I love, love, love these envelope pillowcases … Continue reading “DIY Envelope Pillowcase [Sewing Tutorial]”
Fabric: Wool fabric from Joann Dallas and I were shopping a few weeks ago and I found the cutest poncho at Ross, but when I picked it up to look at it, all I could think was, “I can totally make this!” Then, when I found this perfect fabric at Joann’s, project poncho was go. I found a couple different … Continue reading “DIY Poncho [Sewing Tutorial]”
Fabric: Thick knit fabric from Jo-Ann Fabric Pattern: Mimi’s DIY Pencil Skirt Tutorial When I go to stores and see their stretchy fabric skirts, I always get this glimpse of hope that one might just fit me. Every time, it turns out to be a complete fail, and even the x-large is too tight. It’s times like these when sewing knowledge … Continue reading “DIY Knit Pencil Skirt”
Fabric: Cotton knit from Joann I am so excited to be a part of Selfish Sewing Week! When I was looking through all of the fabulous patterns on Indiesew, I had to make a list because they were all so good! I decided to go with the Union St. Tee by Hey June because you can do so many things … Continue reading “Union St. Tee V-Neck”
Since I’m so tall, there was no way I was going to find fabric wide enough for me to cut the whole circle at once (you shorter people – be grateful). Unless I want a circle mini skirt, but I don’t think anyone wants that. I definitely underestimated how much fabric it would take when I started this project…(3.5 yards). … Continue reading “DIY Midi Circle Skirt for Tall Women”
