Stitch Fix #5 – October

Published by

I’m a little late posting this one, but here’s what I got in my Stitch Fix box last month! This was the first time I put something in the “note to your stylist” box before they put my fix together — I requested a vest for fall. Tulle Percie Gathered Waist Puffer Vest | $78 | Status: Sent back Ok, yes, I know… I asked for a vest. And I love the brand; I actually have a dress that I found on their sale page a few years ago (and by a few I mean like 6… ugh, where does the time go!?). Looking back at this one it wasn’t all that bad… maybe. The shape just didn’t win me over. It didn’t photograph well enough to tell, but it was too puffed out at the bottom so it gave me a very weird shape, so I sent it back. I actually went shopping a little with my mom yesterday and found this vest at Old Navy that I love… so my vest fix has been satiated for now …

I scheduled this post on Thursday because by the time this it goes live I will be in California!!! (and without internet for a few days). As you read this I am probably unpacking boxes galore! yay! So anyway, don’t you just love, love, love Teresa’s Megan dress. I kinda really want to steal it ;) And Fiona gave me a good reminder that we can and should sew basics sometimes. This Gabriola turned out gorgeous and of course I had to post Ginger’s Ginger jeans! I did something bad… I ordered the denim kit! I also ordered some cheaper stuff to practice with, but for some reason Heather has me believing that making jeans is a possibility for me, so we’ll see how that goes… :) Until next time,

Buttons, pleats, and pockets galore! I love everything about the post from sew a straight line. She made 3 items from the Perfect Pattern Parcel and they turned out great! I definitely want to try out Merrick’s tutorial for her pleated dress. It looks so comfy and perfect for so many occasions. Hers was one of the first blogs I started following after digging through Pinterest for sewing tutorials. She has since started a series “DIY Friday” with tutorials every week… love! The Lola dress look super comfy and I’ve been looking for a good button up shirt… Butterick 5526 might just be the one to try! Until next time,

So Danny has been going around the house fixing all of our blinds. They were reminiscent of this (or this or this). lol The’re the basic white blinds you can get at any home store for cheap… so yes, nothing crazy to replace, but he decided to go ahead and fix them since the renters hadn’t shortened any of them to fit the windows so they had plenty of extra rails (I feel like I’m not explaining this very well… this is what I’m talking about) lol so anyway… the other day, he fixed one of the ones in the bedroom and then the pups ran in there and messed up what he’d just fixed and he got frustrated. That’s how they all got messed up in the first place — pups love to look out windows :/ So after he fixed the nice big window downstairs, I was like “you should really pull up the shade so they can’t mess it up after you put in all that time to fix it.” Here I …
