Mid-18th Century Inspired Stays

January 28, 2017January 28, 2017Amber HLeave a Comment on Mid-18th Century Inspired Stays

So, one summer back in 1998, I was introduced to the Outlander book series, written by Diana Gabaldon and I was immediately hooked; even if the content of the books weren’t -and probably still aren’t- suitable for an almost 13 year old to read. But I was mature for my age, so it was okay….

So, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m a HUGE fan of Star Trek. Sometime ago.. I can’t remember how long ago I found out that for the first time ever, we were going to have a Comic Con here in Salt Lake, I KNEW I had to go, and I KNEW…

Spring Top Sew along top: Japanese Field Study

April 7, 2013Amber HLeave a Comment on Spring Top Sew along top: Japanese Field Study

Rae announced her annual spring top sew along, and I excitedly once again participated this year. Last Christmas, I got a surprise Christmas present by winning a giveaway that Chie was hosting on her blog, Vivat Veritas. I was super thrilled because it had been a goal of mine to own a Japanese pattern book,…

Bra Making Complete!

January 30, 2013January 30, 2013Amber HLeave a Comment on Bra Making Complete!

Well, it’s done! I’m excited and feeling rather accomplished that my first completed sewing project of the year is a BRA! And of course, here it is on a hanger. It’s not perfect; I’ve noticed that my projects for the first time typically aren’t. I’ve also learned quite a bit about my breasts as well,…

Bra Making: Altering the cup for a good fit.

January 15, 2013Amber HLeave a Comment on Bra Making: Altering the cup for a good fit.

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m currently participating in a bra sew a long. As nice as it would have been to get a pattern that has my size, I had to make a choice between getting a pattern that has my exact size, or spend half the money and get a pattern…

A Quilt for a Little Princess

October 20, 2012Amber HLeave a Comment on A Quilt for a Little Princess

So, this one time, back in July of 2010, I bought this fabric and started a quilt. I worked on it in spurts, and it just sort of languished around in my sewing room. Well, earlier this year, my cousin announced that she and her family that consisted of her, her husband and two boys…

Washi, Washi!

September 24, 2012September 24, 2012Amber H1 Comment on Washi, Washi!

Like the rest of the universe when Rae made and posted the first washi dress, I fell in love. And then when she FINALLY released, there was a collective Kermit arm waving moment all over. I of course bought the pattern, and then started it, waited for a few weeks to finish it and I…

Changing Directions

June 27, 2012Amber HLeave a Comment on Changing Directions

Don’t worry, I’m not talking about changing directions on the blog! I’m talking about life, that’s somewhat related to the blog. See, it had been a goal of mine since I was 13 to go to Veterinarian school. When I graduated High School, that was a BIG THING. Both of my parents had dropped out,…

I Must Be Nuts.

May 26, 2012Amber HLeave a Comment on I Must Be Nuts.

So, I’m going to make a major confession here. I AM A COMPLETE TOOL WHEN IT COMES TO SEWING PATTERNS. That’s right. I’m freely admitting to this. As we were driving to lunch I informed my husband I wanted to make this bag, and he said “Why?” to which I replied, “Other people on the…
