Sersucker Dress

I've gotten the sewing bug bad. I went on a shopping spree on the McCall website a couple months ago and got a bunch of patterns, including Butterick #5490. I got the fabric on clearance at Hancock and had some extra fabric lying around for the lining. All in all, I spent around $10 on this dress. w00t! What's not to love about a $10 dress?!

Way less psychedelic than it appears on your screen.

Steampunk Earrings

Whether Victorian or post-apocalyptic, steampunk is fun. With all the gears and corsets and lace, it's right up my proverbial creative alley. The idea for these earrings came from a wonderful book called "Steampunk Emporium" by Jema Hewitt.

Graduation Shoes

I always promised myself I would have a fabulous pair of shoes for my college graduation day. After four years of practical sneakers and slouchy boots, no mere shoe would suffice. I wanted something with pizazz. Introducing, The Shoe. Cue jazz hands.

Team Peeta Shirt

Ever since I whipped through the “Hunger Games” trilogy in less than a week, I’ve wanted to make a Team Peeta shirt. I seriously liked him more than Katniss. But that's for another post. You don’t have to be like me a make a fangirl shirt for a fictional character, but you can still learn from my method... and subsequent mistakes. Apologies for not getting pictures of every step of the process. I didn't intend to post this project but I figured you should all know what a loser how awesome I am from the start. This may look like a lot of work, but it's really not - it's just a process, like everything.
