Here’s Sidra’s Thriller jacket! Although it is not supposed to be a costume, I think it is appropriate to post it on Halloween. As I’ve posted before, I made this jacket on Sidra’s request for his fall jacket. He wanted either a Thriller or Beat It jacket. The number of zippers on Beat It jacket… continue reading →

Blue and white lace set (Danglez DB5)
Recently I just came to a conclusion that my bra size is not quite right (!!!). You might ask how I didn’t realize that sooner? I think that a part of it was caused by years of never finding the right size so I never knew how the right bra size are supposed to feel. Another… continue reading →
Boy’s white hoodie (McCall’s 6158)
After making a hoodie for my husband, I continued making another one for Sidra. The fabric is not kid-friendly very white cotton jersey and I found a zipper with red details to go with it.

Kids jacket in progress
Can you recognize the jacket? And no, it’s not a Halloween costume for Sidra.

Maybe I shouldn’t have asked him first and just carry on making the jacket… continue reading →
Jeans (Butterick 5682) and Peplum top (Vogue 8815)
My first pair of jeans! Actually not the first pair that I made, as I’ve made jeans several times for my husband and Sidra, but this would be the first time for myself. I finished them more than a week ago and have been wearing them so much ever since. That definitely is a sign of… continue reading →
