Over Christmas, my friend Emily made me this incredible constellation cardigan. (My friend Emily is an incredible painter, by the way.) In elementary school, one of my favorite days of the year was when we had this thing called Star Lab, which was a portable…
The other day I was sitting on the train going to work and I had a flash of sewing genius. I’ve made a two-tone sweater by cutting apart two cardigans and stitching them back together, but why haven’t I done this with pants? So…
Pop on over to The Fashion Spot to see a tutorial I just wrote on how to make a no-sew peplum shirt using Aleene’s “OK to Wash It” sewing glue. (You can also find the tutorial for my Kate Spade-inspired owl purse here.) 😉…

I saw this two-tone cardigan over on The Clothes Horse a few months back and I just had to make one for myself. The split colors remind me of something a court jester would wear.:) (I’m also wearing my DIY Anthropologie-inspired scarf flats in…
