This page is a list of books that I used as reference material for sewing. It is a mixer of sewing and fashion books. New Complete Guide to Sewing. This is my very first sewing book ever. I think this is a great book to own in your sewing collection. There have been many occasions when I would get stuck doing something and had to refer to this book to help me move along with my sewing project. Excellent book! A Guide to Fashion Sewing. Pattern Making for Fashion Design. Fit for Real People. I have the En...

Ok, now for the forreal first finished project of 2015 – jeans! Damn straight I made jeans! And pretty good-looking jeans, if I do say so myself🙂. These are the Ginger Jeans. By Closet Case Files.

Tasha Sews: April 2015
http://tashsews.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 3 April 2015. Long time no blog! Pattern Review: Vogue 8870. I overcame my lack of sewing mojo in the past month, but it looks as though my blog has been a bit neglected. I am all finished with my March garment of the month, but I haven't had a chance to photograph it yet. To tie you guys over here is an oldie that is yet to make it to the blog. It's a modified version of Vogue 8870. I have previously made this pattern here. And as you can see the bodice is tad more blouson. For this version ...

Tasha Sews: June 2014
http://tashsews.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 23 June 2014. Pattern Review: New Look 6049. As some of you may know I really struggle to find a nice shift dress that fits in RTW and handmade items. I did play about with Simplicity 2146. Which ended up being more of a sheath dress. A lady from my sewing group gifted me New Look 6049. And so I decided to give the shift dress another go. When I was sewing this dress I wasn't really feeling it, but since I have finished it I have worn it 3 times! You can see my Pattern Review here. And went with ...

Belated thoughts on the last year, with Lekala tops | no time to sew
https://notimetosew.wordpress.com/2015/02/22/belated-thoughts-on-the-last-year-with-lekala-tops
No time to sew. February 22, 2015. Belated thoughts on the last year, with Lekala tops. So, what do we think – is the end of February too late for a reflection on the previous year? Again and again). I remembered why I’d moved to an all-dress wardrobe in the first place (no fitting RTW pants), and now that reason had fallen away, leaving me with a whole new swath of wardrobe options to play with. Not really, I guess I just like weird necklines. The fabric is a lovely bamboo knit (I bought it in a few.

oh crafty one: the wrap dress-finished!
http://www.ohcraftyone.com/2013/12/wrap-dress.html
Wednesday, December 4, 2013. Man, time is a blur these days. It's been hard to sit and write a blog post when I can be cuddling a sweet babe, sewing or doing the endless loads of laundry babies produce. Seriously, babies are such tiny humans-why so much laundry? Anywho, a while back, Dibs from Dibs and the Machine. I was debating between three patterns I found in my stash. New Look 6697 (OOP). None of them are true. For talking me into it via Twitter*. The pattern is a Palmer/Pletsch pattern. I'd nev...

Vogue 1197: cozy tunic… and a new hobby | no time to sew
https://notimetosew.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/vogue-1197-cozy-tunic-and-a-new-hobby
No time to sew. January 15, 2012. Vogue 1197: cozy tunic… and a new hobby. After my failure in the fall to include any garments in my planning that would actually be practical for me (i.e., knits), I resolved to basically only make knit garments for winter. I’ve been liking tunics and short dresses to wear with leggings this year – comfortable and bike appropriate – and I’ve been trying to increase my stock of them. Here’s my latest addition:. This is the Vogue 1197. My full pattern review is here. Enter...

End of Year Wrap Up | SewTell
https://sewtell.wordpress.com/2014/12/31/end-of-year-wrap-up
End of Year Wrap Up. December 31, 2014. That’s a laughable title, isn’t it? Considering that I didn’t sew much or blog much. I spent most of the beginning of the year working on my school project. You can see the post here. Working on the Jekyll and Hyde Outfit was a lot of work and I did learned a lot. It was very challenging. I am glad that I got the chance to work on this project. I hope to do a similar project in the future. I was able to squeeze in a my lovely Lola dress. Instead of making a body su...

Tasha Sews: August 2014
http://tashsews.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 August 2014. August Garment of the Month. It has been ages since I last posted! I have been travelling to with work to Chicago, Vancouver and Abu Dhabi and my fabric stash has grown considerably as a result. However, my sewing mojo disappeared for the month of July and August, but finally it seems to have returned. This pattern is New Look 6049. Which I have made previously here. You can see my Pattern Review here. My September garment of the month is going to be view E of McCalls 6562. At the...

Tasha Sews: February 2015
http://tashsews.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 27 February 2015. February Garment of the Month. Pattern Review: Vogue 1387. I have to admit that my sewing mojo has been so low I wasn't sure February's garment was going to happen. Quite a few fellow sewers have mentioned that they have not been as productive as hoped during February, so maybe there has been something in the air? That said, I pulled it out of the bag to finish my muslin for this Vogue 1387. Overall I am really pleased with this because I managed to break my sewing block and tac...
