My goodness it has been a while! I’ve been so busy with work, I haven’t even had the time to blog, which has been a real rarity over the years, but I am so thankful for the work! A lot has happened over the past few months- you’ll see in my pictures that I’ve undergone...
I found the perfect shorts for ladies that are curvy on bottom, and finally used up some long hoarded fabric in the process!
Using a trusted, well fitting pattern is the perfect jumping point for modifying and expanding your wardrobe! Check out how I used a favorite pattern to create a new look for myself!
When you have a garment you just can’t live without, try taking one apart so you can make as many as you want! That’s what I did with my favorite shirt!

What a gorgeous dress! The color is great with your hair! I found your blog because I’ve been torn between making a Magnolia or a By Hand London Alix dress for my baby shower. I’m going to be about 34 weeks then. Do you think there’s enough fabric in the skirt and the waistband is high enough in this pattern to make it work for a bigger belly?
I think so, though it depends on how you are carrying! The front and back pieces of this dress are cut on the fold, so you could super easily move it over a few inches from the fold, and just gather the front along the waist area to be sure there is plenty of space! I may be doing that as I get bigger, which is happening by the day!
