Peplum Top
Sara over at Sew Sweetness recently posted a some great clothes that she made for spring quilt market and I was absolutely in love with the peplum tops she made. So I decided to give it a go myself. For my top, I used the bodice of the Colette Patterns truffle dress as a base. …
Read MoreTaffy Blouse Remix
After my first attempt at the Taffy Blouse didn’t turn out so perfectly (my fabric stretched and the final top was was too big), I decided to give it another go. The new one still isn’t perfect, but it is a big improvement from the first one. I may just not be meant to work…

I’ve been working on the fit of my Bombshell Bodice for a couple of weeks now (along with a few other projects of course). I’ve got the fit almost perfect, so I figured it was time to find my zipper. Lucky me, since I’m making a top instead of a dress, I need a separating…
