I realized that my last three posts on this blog had something in common. They all featured asymmetrical styles. It finally hit me that this is a line that I seem to gravitate towards when it comes to style. Hence, this style story was born. What Is Asymmetrical? In the most simple terms, asymmetrical isContinue reading “Style Wise-One Asymmetrical Story”

My Sew Sew Life-It’s Fall So Time To Make a New Summer Top!
It seems, when it comes to sewing, seasons just don’t mean too much to me. Today is a sewing story about my new sleeveless top that I made using McCall 5779. Ideas for this top started when I acquired two special pieces of silk about three years ago, which I will talk about a littleContinue reading “My Sew Sew Life-It’s Fall So Time To Make a New Summer Top!”
My Sew-Sew Life: 1+1=1 or Not
Welcome to my blog today. As the title has hinted, this is another sewing story. During this summer, two of the pieces I’ve sewn for myself are a new pair of palazzo pants and a knit dolmen sleeve top.

Quite a few bloggers seem to be wearing gingham these days so maybe it is “on trend”. Gingham was very much a trend for me a few short years ago in 1966.

When daughter Michelle saw me wearing it, she just shook her head and exclaimed, “Mom, I can’t believe you did something so hippy dippy!” Hippy Dippy? Me? (OK, once in a while). I actually don’tContinue reading “My Sew-Sew Life-Linen Chambray Tunic”

Almost every sewing blog that I follow talks about the style changes they made with their working pattern. Creative people are, well, creative. The twoContinue reading “My Sew Sew Life-Pattern Hacker”

Embellishing With Vintage Silk & Linkup
Yea! A project I’ve been mulling over for at least four years finally finished! Wearing occasionally while I was teaching, I had gotten good use from a simple cropped, black jacket by J.Jill. So I put it in the sack to donate to Goodwill. But then I kept taking it out and putting it back.Continue reading “Embellishing With Vintage Silk & Linkup”
