Hello, Modest Maidens! I have  a special treat for you today! A split skirt, or some 
culottes, is what I have sewn up to show to you today.

Aren't they just lovely? They are a very practical skirt. Perfect for the active maiden.

I sewed a ribbon to the side for a feminine closure.

...And me and Daisy Duke! I love my Daisy!

Hello everyone! This is Gracie! I hope you are all doing well. Today's post is going to be a $5 infinity scarf. I got two fleece scarfs at Walmart that were $5 each. The scarf needs to be at least 60" long so that the finished scarf will be able to do two loops around your neck. .

If the scarfs have fringy things at the end... just cut them off! You don't have to worry about hemming the ends because fleece doesn't fray!!!!!

Next, pin scarfs right sides together,(notice the tags indicate wrong sides) and sew at a 1/2" seam allowance.

Turn your scarfs right side out and you have yourself a warm, stylish, infinity scarf that only cost you $5 a piece!
In His love,
Gracie

Hello everyone!!! its Gracie! Here is the long awaited pajama pants tutorial!!!!!

Hello again. I just wanted to share a quick little tutorial that anyone can do: lace inset. It 
sounds and looks fancy, but is really quite simple. I'll show you my method, at least.    ; )

Here's a simple regency dress I made (which I will blog about that later, I promise!), where 
I added lace inset to the already graceful neckline. And, yes, I made this dress from a pattern by 
Sense and Sensibility Patterns. The lace itself is the fancy part, 
putting it on couldn't be easier!

STRATEGY: thread a small needle with a single strand of thread, the same color as the lace.
Then slip the needle under three or four of the grains of the fabric you are laying it over. Go
all around the exterior, one small stitch at a time. Don't worry, pop in a Your Story Hour,
and you'll be done before you know it!

Good morning! It's Erica today, and I am very excited to share with you my latest 
accomplishment: a new fall dress!

I bought the pattern from Sense and Sensibility Patterns, a lovely little pattern shop 
with old-fashioned, designs. The perfect place for a modest maiden. The fabric was from 
Fabric.com, on sale; so, not including the pattern, this dress cost me about $17.    : )

One thing that is different in the actual pattern it self is the sleeve. I chose a sleeve from 
Colette Pattern's Licorice dress pattern, a dress included in their sewing handbook. (Note: 
I highly recommend  this sewing handbook, it is wonderful!)

Well, that's all for this post. I hope you've been inspired!

Hello Modest Modern Maiden viewers! This is Gracie, I wanted to show you a new circle skirt I made. It is so much fun to twirl in!! I love it! :)

Hi... It's Erica! I'm back, finally! It's been a long, long, long time since I've blogged at all, 
but we shall fix that right now.  ;)

I am very excited to present to my dear readers a tutorial... the first tutorial to be witnessed on Sewing Sisters blog! I had so much fun creating it and taking pictures. And the best part? Done 
up (or, sewn up) completely on my 1912 treadle! (And just for future reference, my treadle was manufactured by the White Rotary sewing company; thus, I call her Sister White!)

You can make a whole bunch of these coasters out of a few scraps from your sewing box; 
thus, they make great little frugal gifts to give out! Let's get started!


(To save space, I've compiled the pictures into a single slideshow below. Click it to start.)

Hello! It's Gracie! I just made a yellow winter plaid skirt. It's so lovely, that my mommy wanted me to make her the exact same skirt. I did and now we match! Here it is:

I hope you like it!
In Jesus' Love,
