My Bucolic Life

Wow... So, this one went way longer than I thought, mostly because I had to rework the bodice pattern, and then rework the fabric bodice. You'll see what I mean. I used three different colors of vibrant corduroy fabric. I also demonstrated a side placed invisible zipper, brass eyeletes to lace up the front, and all kinds of strategic issues. In the end the dress is fun and comfortable and ready for some festivity.

This fun pair of pants has yolks in the front and back a front fly belt loops and an amazingly wide leg that is gathered to the yolk. I made an adjustment to the crotch length that might be helpful for some of you, and I also had to shorten them by quite a bit. The fun part came when I got out my acrylic paints and tried to get creative on the yolk. Hope you enjoy it!

Hello! I love this dress. SOOO Comfortable! Anyhow, this pattern could be used to make a button up top or the dress. I chose to make mine using 3 different coordinating flannel fabrics. Lots of collar detailed instructions here, also a yoke that is not lined so that is easier :) After filming the reveal I wore it out and about doing errands and got several compliments on it from strangers, so I think it is a win!

Hello! This one is actually fairly easy, except the method that the instructions use for putting in the insert really did not agree with me. So I made it twice, their way first and then my way :) I did get to show a cool way to sew in the shoulder seam of the facings.

Hi everyone! So, full disclaimer here, going into this project I wasn't feeling in the mood for complex. I was having one of those weeks and wanted simple, easy peasy, but pretty. Sigh... It did turn out pretty though, so I have that! But it is very, um, creative in the construction and draping tie process. I hope you enjoy it!

Yes, an accessory. Somewhere to put my hands while wearing my fabulous but pocketless coat. Enjoy!

This coat, well, the pattern isn't actually for a coat. I didn't notice. Anyhow, I made it up as a coat complete with bound buttonholes, horsehair braid hemline, removable faux fur collar and cuffs and SO MANY unusual darts and shaping seams. But the result is so pretty. This is one, and I have broken up the process into 3 videos, so get a cup of coffee or tea and take your time.

Hello! This skirt pattern has pleats and several of them. But they are actually constructed like darts. I had to make some changes mid-way because the design just did not work with my body shape, but the final results are good! This is going to be a really comfortable, useful wrap skirt.

Hello~ This time I am making a jacket to go with last week's pants for a fun suit for my daughter. I am using the Vogue 1717 pattern but modifying the collar and style of pockets. Everything else stays as the pattern calls for. I am using a stable twill and lining it with my typical Bemberg rayon lining. My daughter gave me a photo from a Gucci 2020 runway show as an inspiration photo to base this jacket on, so it gets a bit creative.

Hello everyone! This one is a Dusey! I have to admit, I did make some "design alternatives" here. So this jacket is full, super full! And instead of making a single layer of a light sheer fabric as indicated on the pattern envelope, I went full on "Folk Wear enthusiast meets Stevie Nicks at an Art Festival" vibe. My version is made with two different corduroy fabrics and two different velvet ribbons, and a bright and shiny jewel toned teal lining. And Pockets! I had to add pockets. So please don't take this too seriously, because obviously, it is a fun times garment! Thank you for watching!

Hello! This little top is a very basic design, but it is perfect to showcase my wildly bright flannel plaid fabric. I show how to easily match even asymmetrical plaids. Then substitute some extra beading for plain topstitching. Just because :) This one is a fabulous, stress-free pattern and I hope you like it!
