I am in love with this shirt. I am going to try to make this out of flannel. I know weird idea but I love flannel! And I do not have a good cotton right now but I really want this shirt anyway. LOL Complete pattern and tutorial!

Another pattern and tutorial on making a bra out of satin material. May never have to purchase a bra again. Sounds weird but we all know that the store bra never fits quite right. Maybe it pinches here, gaps there, or the straps don't quit adjust or stay in place. Now you can make your own and adjust the pattern to fit you exactly. I am thinking about a bra heaven. Really.

Here is tutorial with a pattern for the bra that matches the one for underwear. Yep life is getting cheaper and prettier. This is cheaper than wading than through the clearance rack!

I will keep looking for more patterns to make life easier and better looking by posting more tutorials and patterns for "intimate apparel" as I find them under the page link for sewing tutorials and remakes.

Love an everyday skirt!

Have you seen anything cuter than this circle skirt? I may be in love. Uses only 1yd of fabric, for girls a 2 in elastic for the waist, and for grown ups a 3 in elastic for the waist. She recommends using a light wait fabric to keep from looking bigger at the hip line. She is obviously thinking of the important things in life.

I love the idea for this tutorial because now you with it you can finally wear those dresses and skirts that looked super cute in the store but when they came home you realized maybe they were shorter than you realized.
