Thanks to Twisted Angel for scanning the slopers files below several years ago. I noticed her website is down and I’ve sent her a PM on PatternReview to make sure it’s okay to repost her files.

As mentioned, I turned my cowl neck knit dress fail into a successful top. I’ve already worn this twice in the two weeks since it’s been made. I find it needed belting to drape nicely — which is totally fine. It’s a great top. The belt gives it some more structure. This was my happy [...]
** updated with DSLR photos I wish you could see it in person. It’s far more striking than the photos show. My DSLR is still in the shop and my point-and-shoot is what I’m using. It’s fine. But, it renders colors wonky indoors with flash and makes my hair look like a mass of black instead of [...]
Welcome to my Valentine’s dinner dress FAIL. I wanted to make something really easy, fast and inherently sexy for this weekend out. I had several patterns in mind, but they are all knit with straight skirts. The two times I tried a knit dress with a straight skift, I HATED how I looked. I was very [...]
After completing the Trina Turk dress I still had red thread on the serger. I pulled out Butterick 5562 from the stash and a red bamboo knit from Fashionmart. I know. TWO non Burda patterns in a row! I always forget that I have an actual stash of Big 4 patterns Oh, and my point and shoot [...]
I like that it was my frequent companion’s birthday dinner and I made a dress for ME! Yes, that’s right. Part of my gift to him is to look awesome. I think that is not only fair and equitable, but simply the law of man. Butterick 5522 (above) is inspired by designer Trina Turk. I only [...]
Guys, I’m so busy these days between work (larger projects, running a Fellowship program) and extra curricular activities (election season). I don’t want to tell you I’m on a hiatus from blogging since I may have a whim (like now). But, I will be posting very little until the end of September. I can only [...]
I’m at least two projects or more from tackling my athletic wear (I sew by the color on the serger). But, thought you might be interested in a great resource on sewing athletic wear. I managed to purchase most of the Singer Sewing Reference Library in one fell swoop a couple years ago. One of [...]
You may have gathered from this blog that I have a love of all things international. Through much hard work and calculation, I have struck up a unique relationship with my counterpart in Japan. So unique, that when Trena went to Tokyo, my counterpart actually took her shopping — and we’ve never met! At anyrate, [...]
It’s been a crazy busy month on this side of the world. But, my reward came early! Remember when I bought the Singer 221 Featherweight? Well, one came without a case. The woman selling said her mom had the case and accessories and she’d let me know when she got it from her mom. Well, this [...]
This book was a delightful and generous gift from LindsayT who picked up on my love of the now defunct Cottage Living and Domino Magazine. I’ve always called my personal decorating style Urban Cottage and this book will easily help develop it. Country Living is also where my favorite bake-at-home cake recipe is from. Despite [...]
