Hi! I'm Patty, a 30-something and a recent transplant from Minneapolis to Texas. Read along as I get used to life in the suburbs, nest in a new home and sew my way through Dallas.
Morning wombats! Here we are on Day #4 of Flop Fixin’ week! Today’s flop, like yesterday’s, isn’t technically a flop, it’s more of a creative restyle using the scraps from yesterday’s sweater project. Boot cuffs! I’m guessing that this might be of PARTICULAR interest to other cold-weather, ‘curvy-calved’ wombats such as myself. To make...

Morning basset hound child stars! Today’s project isn’t TECHNICALLY a flop, as I was not involved in the construction of the offending garment. I DO have to confess, though, to a stint of compulsive thrifting that led to the acquisition of a giant, bright orange, men’s crewneck cableknit sweater. Folks, I’m not sure what...

Good morning sea turtles! Day two of Flop Fixin’ week involves a GIANT turtleneck, some scraps of sweater knit and a shirt with a new lease on life, although I’d like to point out this shirt is still being leased as the current owner is just not committed to the orange and pink stripeyness of it...

Greetings you furry legged newts. Do you guys get more fearful as Halloween approaches and the witches need your legs and tails to work on their witchy brews? Today’s post is a CHEATER post, in that I’ve actually been taking AND editing daily outfit photos, but not getting around to posting them. So let’s...

It’s oddly still summery and warm here, but I can read a calendar and know that that’s going to change pretty fast, so I’m enjoying the white skirt weather while it’s still appropriate! Plus, polka dots are a neutral, right? shirt: handmade, blogged here skirt: handmade, not blogged cardigan: from Target, cropped for a...

I always wear wood jewelery with this green dress and feel quite ready for an island retreat. Today I thought it would be a bit cooler, so I added boots and a jacket. That just made me feel confused. Also, while straightening my hair this morning I got a bit spooked out. When did...

Another beautiful day. With rain. I’m not sure about these shoes. I totally fell in love with them and they came in this nude color and black. Since I already have a few pairs of black flats, I thought to add another color. Yet, strangely, these nude shoes don’t seem to ‘go’ with anything!...

One of my favorite fabric finds of the year! Cherry corduroy! I finally headed back to work today and it was a little chilly. I am wearing my denim jacket to death! I am starting to think about what other little jackets I’d like to add to the rotation… shirt: handmade, blogged here skirt:...

A day off! I went on TWO walks with Lucy and did some other fun things. This is a super comfy outfit and I like it, even though it is basically me stretching some horizontal stripes over generous hips! Clever readers will also note that these are TOTALLY knockabout the house clothes… there are...

Readers of my other blog, The Snug Bug, will know that I am not an adherent of the A-line skirt is universally flattering nonsense. I’m finding I like ‘em a bit more if they’re shorter and VERY triangular!! This skirt was almost tossed in the Arc bag – I’m glad I have it a...

Just a day at work! It was super hot so this outfit worked pretty well. I think the trousers are going to go to the donate bin, they’re too high waisted and stretchy. Boo. t-shirt: handmade, then restyled from a turtleneck to a t-shirt, blogged here trousers, handmade, blogged here cardigan – Nordstrom Rack...

Today was about 908 degrees in Minneapolis and I worked all day. This is what I wore – and you can’t really see from the photo, but the dress is short once there’s motion added to the equation, so I am wearing a pair of cutoffs underneath! Go modesty! Also, since the dress is...

I think this is probably one of my favorite outfits that I’ve worn recently. I like the toned down colors. I love the fully lined silk tweed full circle skirt. I love the comfy chartreuse flats and I especially love that I’m wearing part of the necklace I wore when Mr. Bug and I...
