I finished my New Year’s Eve dress sometime in January and am excited to share it with you now! My sis and I got together this weekend and had a little photo shoot. I could have sworn that I blogged about how I worked on it nearly all NYE day, only to put it aside … Continue reading »
I made this top way back in June using a modified Burda 7661, which is the second pattern I bought, ever. I removed the closure in the back and dropped the arm scye by an inch, I believe. It’s made from the same fabric as the garment once known as the Melville Dress, now referred … Continue reading »
Thank you for all of your lovely comments on my Minoru. It felt great to share it after such a long creation process! Now, back to catching up on some older projects! Before Crab&Bee, which was born in February of 2011, I blogged here. It was a quiet little blog, but I was writing there when … Continue reading »
Before Crab&Bee, which was born in February of 2011, I blogged here. It was a quiet little blog, but I was writing there when I started getting serious about making my own clothes. I’m sharing my pre-Crab&Bee creations in a few posts, as well as a bit of my sewing history. Here are a couple … Continue reading »

Remember way back when, when I was deciding whether or not to make a last-minute dress for a wedding I was going to? I had a sneak peek here and desperately wanted to show off my new dress sooner, but some failed photoshoots and school got in the way. BUT! Sister Bee came to my … Continue reading »
Voila! Here is my new dress that I mentioned last week. The pattern I used was Simplicity 2281, which I’ve been loving on for awhile. This is the third time I’ve used it; I’d like to say it’s the final time, but one never knows! I used much thicker material than the previous two times, … Continue reading »
Awhile ago, I made brief mention of a wedding that Bee and I went to with our parents and our men in February here and posted a potentially confusing image of Nathan dressed in gingham with his arms covered in leis here. Three months have passed and I forgot to post about the wedding! Are … Continue reading »
Well! This week was mostly blue and white with a chance of red. Looking at everyone else’s colorful outfits on the flickr pool has got me inspired to try out some other colors for my next sewing projects. After, that is, I finish my dark navy Minoru and tomato red skirt that are in the … Continue reading »
Hello folks! Nathan was reading Moby Dick to me as I worked on this project. Hence, it is called the Melville dress. I think the tie-dye pattern is very oceanic, don’t you? I used Vogue 1236, one of the DKNY patterns. For something that’s so simple and fast to make, I really like the end … Continue reading »
