    Where did your user name come from??

    I usually use Spacewoman Spiff for all my accounts which I took from Spaceman Spiff. Spaceman Spiff is one of Calvin's alter ego in the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. I simplify it sometimes to just Spiff.

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    A little over 2 yards from what I remember. I was inspired by a photo of a gal that was included in an Evadress newsletter. I can't find it though, it was a gal that did mostly 18th century costuming, but she made up these trousers in denim and next thing you know I was out the door to the...

    Thanks all. I was especially happy that I didn't have to take in a bunch at the side seams like I seem to have to do with all the vintage patterns I've done so far. The only fitting I did was the darts in the back. Brownie points for a girl who is always super excited to finish a garment...

    Golden Era Aircraft

    Once upon a time I used to fly a Cub so I have a terrible sentimental soft spot for them. They are like the Go-Karts of airplanes and so fun to fly. My favorite part about the Cub is how the side window swings up and the door the folds down leaving you with a really great view. Have you...

    I got this 30's pattern a lil' while back. It's my most favorite one I own. I also paid more than I usually do for a pattern. It was love at first sight, and then I saw it was in my size and well...you know how it goes. I didn't know much about Helen Twelvetrees (her last name is very...

    Simplicity 1016 This came together quick and easy. I especially love how flattering it is without having to wrangle myself into any shapewear at all!

    Nice! You sort of look like Madonna in this photo. Like when she was in the movie A League of Their Own. I love that movie.

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    I made a pair from an Evadress pattern in a lightweight denim. They were terribly easy to make (I've only been sewing for six months) and I love them to death. My favorite thing about high waisted pants is that I can now wear all those tops in my closet that were too short or just looked plain...
