dressmaking without a pattern (cheat to win)
I have a problem with patterns. Clothing patterns specifically. And I blame the people who make said patterns for this.

side seam pockets… and the mother/daughter dress challenge
In this world of imperfections, one of the niggling problems of everyday life is the lack of functional pockets in women’s clothing. I’m certain I’ve mentioned it before.

t-shirt mod – sleeveless scalloped style
Let’s do another sleeveless t-shirt mod, before the weather gets so cold that even I can’t pretend sleeveless is seasonally appropriate. I bought this charming piece from Sam Logan, the Vancouver-based artist behind the webcomic Sam & Fuzzy. (He has some truly wonderful t-shirts, understatedly geeky and entirely awesome.)

frilly t-shirt mod – weekend confirmed!
All right ladies, you know the drill. This is about modifying awesome t-shirts from awesome events where they only carry apparel in awesome over-large unisex sizes. Awesome sauce all round. My boyfriend acquired this week’s t-shirt (very limited edition) at PAX two years ago, where the 1Up Yours guys tossed them to the crowd during […]
