I bought this pattern last summer and started making it. But 3/4 of the way through, I realized it was too small. I bought new fabric this year, but I didn't pay attention to the width of the fabric. I bought 3 yards with 44" width but the suggested width was 48". I didn't have… Continue reading Amelie Dress by Untitled Thoughts
I fell in love making bags after completing Klum House's Slabtown. I quickly ordered the Fremont Maker's Kit with natural as the main fabric and berry as the accent fabric. I didn't have to order additional tools this time. It took me around three hours to make this bag. Compared to Slabtown, this one was… Continue reading Fremont Tote by Klum House
It was summer last year when I first saw this Slabtown Backpack on Klum House's Instagram. It was love at first sight. I searched and searched, trying to find the pattern. Unfortunately, it was only taught at their studio in Portland, OR. But the good news was they were planning to release the pattern this… Continue reading Slabtown Backpack by Klum House
I bought a pair of lounge pants in China a few years ago, and they were really comfortable. I only could wear them on the weekends, so it didn't make sense to have more than a pair. However, a week into Colorado's Stay At Home order, I realized how nice it would be to have… Continue reading Free-Range Slacks from Sew House Seven
Amy, a gal from a knitting group, was wearing this skirt one night. She told me this was a free pattern. So here I am! I bought this fabric from Joann Fabrics. I thought I would try it out on inexpensive fabric before going all out. I don't know the right word to describe this… Continue reading Ready to Sew Justine Skirt

I have been seeing many pictures of the Wiksten Shift Dress on Instagram. So I thought I can give it a try since it has been a while since the last time I sewn. Because I don't have much experience in sewing, I thought I would do a test run with the short version and… Continue reading Wiksten Shift Dress
Few weeks ago, I took another class at Fancy Tiger Crafts to make a Cowl Tunic. This was a Vogue pattern. This cowl was completely done on a serger. After I took Serger 101, I fell in love with it. The threading part is challenging. I'm not sure I can do it by myself if… Continue reading Vogue Cowl Tunic
This was the first dress I sewed on my own. It was quite intimidating. I took it one step at a time. First, cut out all the pieces. Then sewed the pockets, the body pieces. Took a break. Then sleeves, neck lines, etc. The most frustrating part of this dress was the plaid fabric. I… Continue reading Pearl Dress from Green Bee Pattern
I took another class from Fancy Tiger making the Pendleton Tote couple months ago. Though it was expensive (class, fabric, handles), the experience was quite worth it. When you buy the Pendleton fabric, it came folded. For this tote, we only needed half of the fabric. I was going to use the other half of… Continue reading Pendleton Tote
