By Karina Trinidad on March 10, 2021 • ( 1 Comment )

3 Margot & 4 Maggie Peplum “dresses” (Love Notions). So many options & hacks.

By Karina Trinidad on February 19, 2021 • ( 2 Comments )

The Margot Peplum from Love Notions has had a sizing update in 2021 and now included the full size range from XS to 5X. It has been a pattern I have enjoyed two times already, but funnily enough, I’ve always lengthened them into dresses. I’m just a sucker […]

Run! WORST fabric alert! Easy to sew Bardon Dress (FREE Peppermint pattern).

By Karina Trinidad on December 27, 2020 • ( 3 Comments )

The fabric I chose this time is super pretty, but it’s actually the worst fabric to work with: crinkle rayon. I made the Free Bardon dress from Peppermint magazine with this fabric. I’ll be discussing how this fabric behaves and what styles could be appropriate. As usual, I […]

How to sew this chic wrap style. 2 Gorgeous Pine Cove PJS (Itch to Stitch)

By Karina Trinidad on December 1, 2020 • ( 4 Comments )

I have a terrible habit of sleeping in whatever I can find. Typically, a horrid old t-shirt and even worse, one with the sleeves cut out messily. WHAT?! I know! I sew wonderful garments for myself to wear during the day and out of the house. My mum […]
