https://helloholli.com/2015/07/29/pattern-swap-with-true-bias
Pattern Swap with True Bias. July 29, 2015. July 29, 2015. I’m excited for what I’ve got to share with you today! When I was getting ready to release the Blue Ridge Dress, Kelli from True Bias. Mentioned that she’d like to join in a blog hop if I did one. Well, I opted not to do a formal blog hop other than the tester tour for a couple of reasons, and instead decided to do a monthly feature where I swap patterns with another indie designer. I call it… drumroll…. Yes, my creativity astounds me. It is a ta...

Handmade By Heather B: My arch nemesis the bathing suit
http://handmadebyheatherb.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-arch-nemesis-bathing-suit.html
Handmade By Heather B. My arch nemesis the bathing suit. Guysguys. I have to talk about my troubled relationship bathing suits today and it might result in some binge chocolate eating. But we're gonna get through this because it's helpful confess when projects don't go smoothly. Or maybe I just need some absolution over the dumb shit I did while trying to appropriately cover my body for our trip to the coast. What does a teenager with body issues really not want to do? Strip down to a clingy piece of swi...

Handmade By Heather B: The Return of the McCalls Shirtdress
http://handmadebyheatherb.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-return-of-mccalls-shirtdress.html
Handmade By Heather B. The Return of the McCalls Shirtdress. Two sewing repeats back to back? Tsk, tsk. Someone needs to plan my life better so this sort of thing doesn't happen. In fact let me just get a ghost blogger so I can focus all my attention on my real loves, cake and toy frogs. :) But not toy frog cake because that would be weird. Anyway, let's just blame Roisin. Derp To be honest though two Carline shirtdresses would not be a bad thing. The print wasn't directional and b. This dress was cut ou...

TRAPEZE DRESS IN BLACK LINEN – True Bias
http://truebias.com/2015/08/trapeze-dress-in-black-linen.html
MEN’S HUDSON PANT. ROSCOE BLOUSE / DRESS. TRAPEZE DRESS IN BLACK LINEN. August 3, 2015. I’ve been attracted to very simple shapes lately. Easy to wear garments that are great for layering, have clean lines, and are quick to sew. Admittedly these are not always the most flattering things in my wardrobe, but I love the ease of wearing them. I decided to sew up a quick trapeze dress this weekend much like the ones I have been seeing in ready to wear. I had some simple black Kaufman Essex Linen. So stylish a...

Wedding dress: constructing the bodice – crab & bee
https://crabandbee.com/2015/08/06/wedding-dress-constructing-the-bodice
Wedding dress: constructing the bodice. August 6, 2015. August 6, 2015. By crab and bee. This is the third post in a series about making my sister’s wedding separates, which were completed in mid-June. The next posts will cover lace, the final dress and resources. The posts on construction won’t be strictly chronological; I bounced back and forth between bodice and skirt, depending on which piece was giving me more grief. I complained a lot about that skirt. After hand-basting the underlining to the lini...

Will Knit for Food - Michelle, ma belle... tres bien ensemble
http://www.tresbienensemble.com/home/cest-la-fin
Michelle, ma belle. tres bien ensemble. Michelle, ma belle. Eight Butterick See&Sew 5076. Skirts. Sixteen separate garments to mix and match. My closet is happier for it. I hope I haven't bored you too much. I tried to push through as quickly as I could, photographing in between torrential downpours. I think we're having record rainfall this year. No joke. It's difficult to see in the photos, but this skirt is sewn using a white embroidered cotton. I picked it up at my local Joann after realizing how...

Kelly Anorak : : Closet Case Files : : Arrivederci Firenze. October 26, 2016 by Sue. I was in the early stages of deciding what to pack into my teeny, tiny carry-on suitcase when the call to pattern test showed up in my inbox. This. This could be perfect, thought me. A lightweight jacket for potentially chilly evenings and roomy enough to wear over a vest or sweater if needed. Yes please…and. 8230;for the opportunity Heather! And RTW worthy jacket. Looks daunting, you say? This jacket a trooper. It got a...

Deer and Doe Plantain T-Shirt Take Two : : Vogue 1355. September 19, 2016 by Sue. Oooh…looky me…wearing my jammies at the beach. Okay, they’re not. Pyjamas, but I am looking decidedly casual. Once again, I’m wearing harem pants…you can see my first pair here. These ones are made with a poly/lycra blend…definitely not my first choice…but I love how beautifully the blue complements the blue in my t-shirt. Not much more to say, except that I still think this silhouette is. I’m still tweaking a few thi...
