    How to Sew This Spring / Summer Dress Simplicity 8874

    April 9, 2025 / 0 Comments

    Ladies, The spring sunshine brings flowers out and how much more beautiful colors in our wardrobe. Wearing happy colors can not only enhance your complexion, but it also brings cheerfulness to your family. This yellow color was one of those rare perfect yellows for my preference, vibrant but soft, not dull, not neon, not green, not mustard, not too pastel. Finding the right colors for you in quality fabrics for your project is half the battle of sewing, but these elements are what make a pattern shine. Fabric found on fabricmartfabrics.com While I prefer sleeves, I ended up making this dress sleeveless lending it to not just springtime but to…

    Ladies, Summertime requires fashion foresight for the woman who wants to look classy while staying cool. We are surrounded by options so be sure to gravitate toward the best ones and learn how to navigate away from styles that compromise your dignity. Battle of the Bra Straps Thin straps on tops and dresses can be pretty but have plagued us with the consequence of displayed bra straps. The classiest women photographed never show bra straps.

    Ladies, If you are reading this, living in the United States, you have been born and reared during an era of abundance. Never before in history was there such abundance of wealth and material goods as this nation has held for even low-income people. It was as a new wife on a low income with little to spend on groceries let alone decor, that I learned how to be a homemaker. In this day of visual abundance featuring images of pretty things that we infer are taken by wealthy people, the truth is, what we see is often times produced by the development of good taste and resourcefulness more than…

    The Best Classy Stretch Knit Dress | Simplicity 8874 Pattern Review

    April 1, 2025 / 0 Comments

    Ladies, A polka dot dress fits seamlessly into any season as it is neither a hot weather nor a cold weather style. This dress not only works at any time. but it helped give me that lift out of heavier winter styles into spring without looking too springy too soon. Aside from my fabric choice, the key to picking a sewing pattern that you will make again and again is all about the shape of the dress. This dress has many features that make it a favorite. The square neckline, the elbow length sleeve option, the waistline at my true waist, and a tea length slim yet flowy skirt. What’s…

    Ladies, If you are looking for a classy square neckline midi length dress, here is a sewing pattern for you. I have made this dress a whopping four times with only two successes. Do not let that detour you, but having said that, I would classify this pattern as intermediate, maybe even advanced. This sewing pattern has a sew along video on youtube that will guide you through the steps, which is how I even discerned the pattern instructions. But if you have any experience with sewing at all, you may have learned that it’s not just understanding the instructions but doing each step with precision that makes the garment…

    Ladies, Your wardrobe is a support system. It supports your beauty, and it must carry you through a long hard day in comfort. But it needs to be more than loungewear to look appropriate and respectable for the day. Consider all of the ways that clothing must be tailored to work, physical needs, and sensibilities. Think with me about what you wear and why you wear it. The best wardrobe has all three of these categories checked: respectability, comfort, & beauty. It is vital to wear what works for you when dressing classic or trendy for your best wardrobe! What is supportive of someone else’s workday, may not work at…

    How to Dress Classic or Trendy for Your Best Wardrobe

    March 1, 2025 / 0 Comments

    Ladies, Fashion advice often comes in the form of focusing on trends. After all, it can be helpful to know what is considered in style or out of style. However, some people dismiss classic clothes as “outdated” confusing classics as things that should be trendy in order to still wear them. While fun and fresh, trends are not necessarily tailored to your body shape, your best color palette, or even your personal taste. But the best classics for you are tailored to those things. Identify Classics vs Trends Just because something is not trendy does not mean it is “outdated”. For example, A-line skirts are not a trendy style currently,…

    Ladies, Today let’s build our homemaking resume. This is not to be seen by anyone else but as a practice to reflect on the state of your skills and mindset about homemaking. The wisest of women builds her house,    but folly with her own hands tears it down. Proverbs 14:1 Build Your House Without homemaking skills, your household and family will languish in a state of neglect. It is outlined very clearly in scripture that the way we behave, speak and caretake is how we build our home.

    How to be a Real “High Value Woman”

    February 13, 2025 / 0 Comments

    Ladies, Our words, behavior, and of course our etiquette comprise parts of our character. Even how we present ourselves in our appearance is a way we convey polite and considerate conduct, convey loveliness and even bring a sense of motivation, respect, and cheeriness around us. Beautification and manners are indeed important, but it is something far more significant within yourself that defines you as a “high value woman.” But that is not to say that all of the other good attributes do not also stem from it. The Holy Bible gives the full picture of what it means to be a “high value woman”. While some of these traits end…
