Smooth Black Corset

I made a corset!!! I MADE A CORSET! I cant believe I did it and I think I have a new thing to sew in the winters besides coats. I’ve been thinking about making a corset for forever. So many reasons that triggered my corset making: I hurt my back recently. It hurt to breathContinue reading “Smooth Black Corset”

Matching outfits

Finally, this is my third matching outfit I have with little K, and the only one where I managed to get a photo of us wearing them together 🙂 Didnt bother getting detailed shots because they are pretty standard shirt (for me) and shirtdress (for little K). She loves stripes and matching dress with me.Continue reading “Matching outfits”

Eye popping mask 2.0

WARNING: heart-melting adorableness ahead. I needed a one-eye mask to be Leela from futurama for Haloween, and figured I’d like to add another one to my awesome eyemask design from last time.

Unfortunately I haven’t found any book patterns I love yet.Continue reading “Knitting/Sewing related Children’s Book – series two”

Brother Sewing Machine Woes

Remember a while back my main sewing machine (a Brother Embroidery machine) had some problems? Well, I have a quick update – and maybe polling for some more suggestions here. The machine got worse and worse – a larger percentage of the time when I turn it on – it would not go forward normally.Continue reading “Brother Sewing Machine Woes”

Meow Scarf!

My best friend K and I have been friends for more than 15 years, and among many things we share, we share a love for cats! I remember once back in my innocent days, I’d seen a sweater/shirt with a kitty on it that says “bad kitty”. I bought two – one to ship to her andContinue reading “Meow Scarf!”
