This dress was an experiment. I knew heading in that an unfitted empire waist probably wasn’t the best choice for me. I also took a chance on the fabric which is much bolder than my usual choices. So, as I said, this dress was an experiment and I’ll say right now…
DIY Pencil Skirt #2
After wearing my blue scuba knit pencil skirt to work and realizing how comfortable it was, I decided I had to make more. For my next go at it, I decided to make a few changes to my basic skirt pattern. This time I added two darts to the back…
Sew Over It – Pussy Bow Blouse #2
My first Pussy Bow Blouse is one of my favourite things in my closet. I knew I wanted to make another but I am on restricted fabric purchases (self-imposed) right now while I work through my stash so I thought I was going to have to wait a while. Then…
Sew Over It – Wool Tulip Skirt
Just a quick post today to show my my second Sew Over It Tulip Skirt. I am between sizes 10 and 12 on Sew Over It patterns so I normally cut between the sizing lines. I decided to go down to the 10 on this one because I ended up…
Sew Over It – Heather Dress
When I found a beautiful piece of heavy, rich, cranberry, 4-way-stretch ponte at Value Village this summer, I knew I needed a cosy and comfortable fall dress pattern for it. Enter the Sew Over It Heather Dress. Fitted but not tight; large built-in pockets; it looked like the perfect fall…

Ultimate Shift Dress – Crop Top Hack
I sense a theme in my recent makes… I’ve made so many Ultimate Shift Dresses lately that you would think I was sponsored by Sew Over It (I’m not, but wouldn’t that be great?). Anyway, I had a teeny bit of fabric left over from my last Ultimate Shift Dress…
Sew Over It – Ultimate Shift Dress #2
I couldn’t help it. I had to make another Ultimate Shift Dress. My first one turned out sew awesome (pun intended), I just had to give it another go. This time I chose a border print rayon that I picked up for 70% off at Fabricland and decided to go…
Sew Over It – Sleeveless Ultimate Shift Dress
I told you how much I loved my first Sew Over It pattern last week. I couldn’t wait to try my next one so I jumped straight into the Ultimate Shift Dress. (Sorry these photos are so dark. I’m working on the lighting situation in my condo so they should…
