Today is Day #2 of our Pencil Skirt Sew Along and we are going to focus on sewing up our skirt. You should have your skirt sloper drafted and then your paper pattern traced on top with ease and seam allowances.

The Art of Homemaking: Lovely
I know...I know...I know.... Even as I write this I am sitting on the couch, late at night in my pajamas after just showering for the first time today. It's been a long day...running errands, doing homework, and changing diapers. Sorting laundry, fixing dinner, and paying bills. Attending meetings, making calls, and driving the carpool. Doing dishes, cleaning toilets, and mopping floors. And today wasn't even a busy day. As I sit here tired and worn out in my Winnie the Pooh thermals ... View the Post
Pencil Skirt Sew Along: Drafting a Skirt Sloper
Today we are going to draft our pencil skirt sloper. If this is your first time drafting a flat pattern to your measurements....you are going to love the fit. Because it will be drafted to your specific measurements, it will fit like a glove, no matter what size you are.

For our pattern we are basically taking our own measurements and putting ... View the Post

Off The Blog: March Madness

We are getting really excited for the conference and think that having a whole room and track of ... View the Post
Vintage Pattern + Organic Cotton Sateen = A Winning Combo
I have had this vintage 1976 McCall's pattern for years now. It keeps floating around between my to be cut pile and my stash but earlier this week the pattern met the fabric and it was true love! The fabric I used was organic navy cotton sateen from Organic Cotton Plus. I've used their fabrics before and I love them...they are always so soft and wonderful to work with and this cotton sateen was no exception...it is like butter! Seriously, butter. Which is why I ended up making the long ... View the Post
