Two new outfits for spring, which can be mixed and matched!

Cypress Cape
The Cypress Cape by Sewaholic hasn't been getting a lot of attention in the sewing blog world. The style probably isn't for everyone, but the fact that it's different and interesting is why I was drawn to it in the first place. Nevertheless, it took me a long time to actually sew it, despite… Continue reading Cypress Cape
Pacific leggings (for all that exercising I do)
So I'm not the most regular exerciser, and if I do anything these days it's either walking or cycling. I might not bother making "performance wear" (quotes required to indicate my decidedly lack of performance while wearing anything), particularly leggings, if it weren't for for a buy-one-get-one pattern sale at Sewaholic a while back, and… Continue reading Pacific leggings (for all that exercising I do)
Undocumented Garments of 2015
I don't need to review my year to recognize that I didn't blog a lot this year! I sewed a lot less and had a lot less time to take photos and write posts, just in general. But I sewed more than I reported, so instead of reviewing my "hits and misses" of 2015,… Continue reading Undocumented Garments of 2015
Renfrew top and a neckline conversion
I've made the Renfrew cowl neck top a couple times (here and here), and I love it. The cowl is more like a floppy turtleneck, so for it to hang nicely, the fabric has to be pretty lightweight and drapey. After sewing up the Renfrew in this cute bicycle print (purchased at Harts, but it… Continue reading Renfrew top and a neckline conversion
Granville shirt in Liberty lawn
I'm pleased to say that I have now, officially, sewn a garment with Liberty lawn! Woohoo! The price has deterred me for my previous multiple decades of sewing, but a tried-and-true pattern + 20% off at Britex = it was finally time. I have to say, I surprised myself picking this print. I had a… Continue reading Granville shirt in Liberty lawn
Granville Shirt by Sewaholic
Collared, cuffed, button down shirts. They are a little bit outside my wardrobe comfort zone, to be honest. They feel a bit masculine to me, and I like pretty. But, I know I should own some, so I was pleased that Sewaholic released a version with some details I could appreciate: the Granville.My main beef… Continue reading Granville Shirt by Sewaholic
Renfrew in dotted viscose/lycra knit
If you arriving here from Britex, welcome to Nicole at Home!I managed my "Resewlution 2014" goal for March (at least a single garment for myself a month) on the very first day of the month! As a Guest Blogger for Britex, I had the opportunity to use some of their beautiful knit fabrics and a… Continue reading Renfrew in dotted viscose/lycra knit
Alma blouse (and sash loop tip!)
My first Alma blouse! Obviously, I'm already huge fan of Sewaholic Patterns, but this blouse truly sealed the deal for me. With only a slight modification (my standard petite adjustment at the waistline), I cut a straight size 2 and the fit is perfect! The fabric is a cotton shirting in black and orange stripes… Continue reading Alma blouse (and sash loop tip!)
Renfrew cowlneck in silky wool knit
With "winter" drawing to a close in Northern California, time is running short for sewing up the rest of the wool fabric I bought a few months ago. At this point, I'm not sure I can pull off another pair of wool pants or a dress, and still get reasonable use out of them before… Continue reading Renfrew cowlneck in silky wool knit
