Finished: Fuschia Floral Maxi Dress (McCall's 6070 hacked for nursing with Simplicity frankenskirt)
So a few months ago I made this dress and went back to work before I could blog it. I wear it all the time and pretty much love it BUT I have to say my memory of its construction is rather hazy at this point. I do know that I used my trusty McCall's 6070 fo...

A Simple Stretch Denim Trumpet Skirt (With a Secret)
So: I made a plain solid-colored skirt in a neutral color with no embellishment. Somewhat out of character for me but I really needed this wardrobe staple to balance out all the wild print tops in my drawers. And, well, I love it! Inspiration : Ten years ag...

An Eye-Searing Top + My Me Made May 2015 pledge
This top ticks all my sewing form and function happiness boxes. It's loud, colorful and super close-fitting. It's also soft, stretchy, comfortable and stain-camouflaging: I DARE you to find any spit-up in this wild print. (OK, there isn't any — yet — but it...

A 10 Item Wardobe? (Or: It's OK to wear the same outfit over and over!)
This orange dress (shown in 2011) survived multiple closet purges over the years because I loved the color and shape. But I hated the length and never wore it—and now it's finally gone. So I still haven't had time to blog several sewing or knitting projects...

Quick Blue Ponte Pencil Skirt (Burdastyle Melissa Skirt) + Twin Needle Hem Troubleshooting
In the interests of blogging the unblogged, I'll keep this brief. After all, why take longer to blog about something... Than it took to sew it? The details: Pattern : Burdastyle Melissa high-waisted knit pencil skirt. It doesn't get any simpler than this da...

Pattern: Burdastyle Melissa high-waisted knit pencil skirt. It doesn't get any simpler than this dartless, three-piece (front, back, waistband) PDF pattern, a mere $3.99. I've made this before in a red knit maternity version and a sparkly spandex mermaid version, but this is my first really ...

A Polka-Dot Lego Dress, Onesie and Necklaces (Also: Fun with Block Printing!)
What with all the Small Human Being-focused sewing going on, I think my daughter was feeling a little left out. So I pulled out one of the unfinished (unstarted?) objects I felt most guilty about: her Lego Cityscape sundress. I sort of meant to make it for ...

SHB Sew-Along: Giveaways & Wrap-up (Comment by May 7!)
So I startled awake in a sleep-deprived haze this morning to realize "Oh, hey! Today is the last official day of the SHB Sew-Along!" (see here if you don't know what I'm talking about) . The good news was: I did it! Somehow despite having a tiny baby and a ...

I have the highest praise for Mark and his Alexander Technique lessons, both the group and individual lessons. When I first started going to Mark's classes I'd been suffering from severe repetitive stress pain from computer use in my arms, hands back, shoulders and neck. After a few months of attending group or solo lessons once a week the difference has been LIFE-CHANGING. Before the lessons I think it's fair to say I was in constant pain... but with Mark's amazing guidance, the pain has been reduced by 70-80%, and I have far more pain-free days than painful days. Highly recommended!
