Vintage Dreamer: Row of White Buttons Dress: Simplicity 1460 Pattern Hack
http://vintagedreamer95.blogspot.com/2014/05/row-of-white-buttons-dress-simplicity.html
Life in Rural Virginia. Thursday, May 8, 2014. Row of White Buttons Dress: Simplicity 1460 Pattern Hack. I made a dress! Okay, so. . . Details:. This is another simple pattern hack. For the bodice I used Simplicity 1460. View B with the peter pan collar. The skirt I "repurposed" from a previous failed dressmaking attempt and it is just a circle skirt. For whatever reason this top fit me right out of the envelope. Straight size 16 with no adjustments. The skirt is lovely for twirling in. Help with durabil...

Me-Made-May: The story so far…. May 4, 2015. May 4, 2015. I decided that as it’s my first year as a blogger, I should definitely sign up for Me-Made-May 2015. I won’t be posting every day, but I’m hoping to do a weekly round-up you’ll also get to see some new/ old makes that haven’t yet made it onto the blog! I pledged to wear at least one hand-made item per day during May I’ve already had some major realisations about what I wear on a day-to-day basis (More on that another day! Day 2: In a lovely little...

A nautical shirtdress! | Cinderellis Sews
https://iamcinderellis.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/a-nautical-shirtdress
April 11, 2015. I love shirtdresses. Since I’ve been able to sew, I’ve always wanted to make one, but was put off by all the tricky details, like topstitching, and oh all those buttons. Then Mary over at Idle Fancy. Launched the ‘ Autumn of 1000 shirtdresses. A few weeks ago, I was having a little potter around Darn It and Stitch, my local haberdashery in Oxford, and saw this gorgeous Robert Kaufman chambray. I knew it would make a gorgeous version of McCall’s M6696. It’s got a softer hand than the other...

Me-Made-May: Nearly there! | Cinderellis Sews
https://iamcinderellis.wordpress.com/2015/05/27/me-made-may-nearly-there
May 27, 2015. June 12, 2015. It seemed easier to get good outfits together last week – the weather has been a little warmer, so I think that’s why! Here’s a (rather long! Picture taken outside the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford. I love this dress so much! I realised I don’t really like it with black tights, but it was either that or not wear it at all. NEW: Grey A-Line skirt. Photo taken near Bury Knowle Park, Headington. This skirt is a bit of a saga, considering it’s such a simple make! Thread and zip: 3.

Stitch of the month. Sugar and spice and all thing nice? November 7, 2014. Think back to about a year ago, my first time in Stockholm with fabric on my mind. I walk into this amazing shop (seriously this place is gold! With a new interest in knits. It was perfect! There was also lots of amazing Scandinavian chic inspiring me at the time, so why not go a little riske and buy the sparkly knit… It’ll become something….someday…. Well today it has! Middot; November 17, 2014. This fabric is wonderful! You are ...

SouthShore Handmade: Marbella Dress Pattern Review and Giveaway
http://southshorehandmade.blogspot.com/2014/10/marbella-dress-pattern-review-and.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. Marbella Dress Pattern Review and Giveaway. I want to introduce you to a brand new sewing pattern company, Itch to Stitch. The owner, Kennis, asked me if I would like to review her first pattern, the Marbella. Dress, and I jumped at the chance. Stay with me until the end for a chance to win your own copy. I also used a bunch of plain lightweight cotton to both underline and line the dress. And I fear the pleats over my tummy. Anyway, I used the pattern piece for the skirt fr...

Me-Made-May: Are we there yet?? | Cinderellis Sews
https://iamcinderellis.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/me-made-may-are-we-there-yet
Me-Made-May: Are we there yet? May 19, 2015. Just a quick roundup of what I’ve wore last week! Not gonna lie… I’m getting a wee bit bored of wearing me-mades! This has a lot less to do with what I’ve made, and more to do with where the gaps are – like trousers and shirts. It’s not helped by the fairly cool weather at the moment (In most of my pictures I’ve taken off additional layers so you can see my makes! I’m waiting for a heatwave, then I will be super happy with all my dresses again! Seams need to b...

MAXI – moneta. July 28, 2016. It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted, and I’ve got lots to share! Continuing on from my two knit Laurels, I decided to go for another jersey project, one that I’ve had planned for a while! I bought this scrummy Liberty jersey in the sale (at Liberty) last year. It was still very pricey at 40 for the cut, but it was the end of the bolt so I got 2.25m for that price (and it’s at least 60 wide! I didn’t use the drafted skirt, but instead did some basic drafting to make it ...
