National Dress Day is March 6th of each year. This year I asked blog readers to share with us all pictures of themselves celebrating the versatility of the dress. I’m sure we can all think of a favorite dress that we’ve worn. Was it a prom dress? Wedding dress? Sun dress? I can think of…

Gift Giving
With Christmas quickly approaching, it was time to turn my attention to a few things that I was going to make and give as gifts. I have found that my favorite gifts to give are homemade, BUT, homemade things are incredibly time consuming! Plan accordingly if you want to give homemade things! Here are some…
I Love Lucy Too!
I had previously made this pattern in View A but without the frilly collar. I had to drive to Southern California for the weekend to deliver a dress and do a fitting (which will be next week’s post) for my cousin Elizabeth. I knew I was going to be stopping in at my favorite cosmetics…

The Little Zipper That Could
Does this pattern look familiar? It should because I already made it! But in my sewing hustle to make Mia some work clothes, she chose this pattern that I used to make her Ariel dress. This time we are using view C. She chose this pretty rose fabric. Would anyone notice that she had the…
Mushrooms, Mushrooms, Mushrooms
With Mia starting a new job so quickly, she was not prepared in the work wardrobe department. As many of you know, trying to find clothes for a specific need is not fun. It usually ends up with you buying something that is “meh” and that you end up hating and not really wearing. Finding…
