What? A week without a blog post on sewing? I know, blasphemy. Honestly, I've been sitting (pun intended) on my pants challenge post for the last week because I haven't taken pictures yet (side note: if you have any recommendations for a point-and-shoot camera, please let me know). This weekend, I promise! On to this … Continue reading Feature Friday: Podcasts

SciFi Expo 2014
Hey guys! I'm a bit behind on this, but I just wanted to do a quick wrap-up of my recent trek to the SciFi Expo. I went both days this year, Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to any of the panels! The one I really wanted to attend was Karl Urban's, but … Continue reading SciFi Expo 2014
Costume Notes: Rogue (Kotobukiya Statue Version)
Completed: February 2014 Hours Spent: 10ish Debuted: SciFi Expo 2014 Why This Costume: I'm pretty sure my love of Rogue is obvious at this point. This version of Rogue is one of my favorites.

HELP! Pencil skirt crisis
All right, I need some help, guys. I've been working on a pencil skirt from Gertie's book for my Monthly Stitch project (my new skill for the month is inserting a lapped zipper). I love this skirt (I finished it over the weekend), but I have one problem: somewhere along the way, I nicked a … Continue reading HELP! Pencil skirt crisis
The Geeky Seamstress
Or, why I've changed the name of my online "presence" twice in the last six months. WARNING: Wall of text ahead. When I first started this blog, I went with my immediate default: Writer's Block. I needed a title to get started, and it's a handle that I've used for years. As a teenager and … Continue reading The Geeky Seamstress
2014 Sewing Goals Addendum
I know, I know. We're not even two weeks into the new year and I'm already modifying my goals? Well, not really. I've had a few internal sewing goals that I haven't really vocalized yet. But I'm seeing a lot of nifty challenges and pledges going around the sewing blog-o-sphere, so why not? Ready-to-Wear Fasting … Continue reading 2014 Sewing Goals Addendum
Birthday, birthday, birthday
My sew/staycation is officially over, but I can't fully jump back into my normal groove without mentioning my birthday! I like to tease my family and say that all of January is dedicated to my birthday. Having a birthday just a week and a half after Christmas means that many times family meetups for the … Continue reading Birthday, birthday, birthday

Tales from the Icepocalypse
Oh, "snow" days. Nothing takes me back to childhood more than a legitimate reason to hide out inside all day in pajamas. My neck of the woods got hit with an ice storm that essentially shut down the DFW Metroplex. We were fortunate to be in an area that didn't get hit with power outages, … Continue reading Tales from the Icepocalypse
