Sew What, Gilly? Is Moving!

Hi all... Just wanted to let you all know that my blog has changed hosts, and I am moving. As much as I want to keep it right here where she is and go on documenting my sewing as usual, I had to make some necessary changes to accommodate my blogging needs. The good news…

Lovely Loungewear

Hi all! So, I'll get right into it: I am in a bit of a dress rut. If you follow my blog, you know that dresses are my favorite thing to sew. Maybe I'm running low on steam. Maybe I'm uninspired. Maybe it's my Easter dress staring daggers at me from the "Naughty Pile" ever…

Another Vogue 9253

Hi! I've been a little behind on posting, but I've got a quick write up on my latest sew: the lovely Vogue 9253, aka "v9253", "v1735", "the one with the really deep v." (If you're interested, you can view my other Vogues here.) I decided to make another one because a) I've had this really…

Love and Paper Airplanes: Butterick 6412/6556 Mash Up

Hi! Happy Love Month! I can’t believe we have reached February already. Time seems to just fly by so quickly, doesn’t it? In honor of Valentines Day, and also in keeping with my New Year resolution to use more interesting prints in my sews, I made a themed dress in a very cute V Day…

The Woos & Woes of Sewing, Part 1: “Home Sewing is Easy”

Hello! We made it through the first week of the new year! I for one, already feel accomplished because I finished my first sew of the year, and it's ready to wear! I mentioned in my last post that I made a sewing resolution to use more interesting prints in my projects. I realized I…

New Year, New Sews!

Happy New Year! I hope the first plunge into 2022 went well with you all. I have to say, mine was… interesting, to say the least. Starting off, my little family and I both ended 2021 and started 2022 with being sick. Yikes! I personally have managed to stay “sick-free” for years (yes, years!) so…

Holiday Baking & The Christmas Apron Re-Do

Hello everyone! How is your Holiday season coming along? Christmas is my favorite time of the year, and I can’t believe how fast this year just sped by! 2021 is almost over! Where has the time gone?! Eeeshk! Anyway, this time around is always super busy, and I haven’t been able to blog about sewing…

Back in Black: Fibre Mood Mindy

Hey y’all! So, Halloween has come and gone (is it just me, or is 2021 moving reeeally fast?!) and this year we didn’t do anything in the way of celebrating. No Harvest Festival, Trunk-or-Treat, no costume wearing, nor door-to-door collecting/binge eating candy. I know. Pretty boring, right? Instead, my family and I pretty much spent…

Lisette B6296: Pajamas All Day, Every Day

Hey everyone! Today post is going to be a triple whammy covering my latest sew(s), the B6296, aka, "The Classic pair of Pajamas That Everyone Needs at Least One of in Their Wardrobe.” About a month ago, I sewed one set, and they were such a joy to make that I made two more sets…
