Most of the things I’ve been making lately have been on my list for so long, but I can honestly say that I didn’t really plan on making the Mandy Boat Tee (FREE PDF pattern!) until a few months ago when I heard on the Love To Sew Podcast that the hosts, Caroline and Helen, really like it. I looked up #mandyboattee … Continue reading “Mandy Boat Tee – Navigating the New Sizes”
I was in love with the Nikko Top by True Bias when it was released and I had this exact version (short sleeved) in my head. I was nervous to make it, though, because I completely hated turtlenecks when I was little. I also don’t really like things around my neck most of the time, except for some necklaces, and I … Continue reading “True Bias – Nikko Top”
I have once again made a pattern that has been on my make list for a very long time now! And, since this is apparently The Year of the Buttons for me, the Kalle Shirt was high up on my list. This is another Closet Case Files pattern, just like my Carolyn Pajama Top from last month. The pattern has a high-low … Continue reading “Closet Core – Kalle Shirt”
Has everyone else been dying over the pajama top trend lately?! I LOVE the look styled with jeans. I’ll be honest that I don’t really dig it with matching PJ pants, but the tops separately is gorgeous. I love the piping and curved lapels, and I really don’t see how I could sleep in something so pretty! (Unless I was … Continue reading “Closet Core – Carolyn Top with D+H Fabrics Co”
I bought some fabric to make Dallas a shirt around 3 years ago, and it has been sitting at the bottom of my stash ever since …haunting me. Haha. I figured that I had put it off long enough, and I really wanted to try the Strathcona Henley ever since I discovered Thread Theory towards the end of last year. … Continue reading “Thread Theory Designs – Strathcona Henley”
I have wanted to make the Bonn Dress by Itch to Stitch ever since it was part of the Indiesew Fall/Winter Collection in 2016. That was back when I was still really intimidated by button up shirts, so I figured it would be a while until I actually made it. I have heard SO many good things about Itch to … Continue reading “Itch to Stitch – Bonn Dress”
This blog post has been updated! – Click here to see the new post Ever since December, when I finished sewing a mini capsule wardrobe (basically) for my mom, I really wanted to get a few knit t-shirts made for myself. Since it’s been cold, I stocked up on Cheyenne Tunics and Lane Raglans, but now that it’s started to … Continue reading “My 3 Favorite Knit T-Shirt Patterns”
I am so excited to be a part of the Patti Pocket Skirt Blog Tour, and finally get to show you mine! I have been eyeing this skirt pattern since the day Amy released it because it is so pretty, but it does have some different design elements that I was a little bit skeptical about. I had seen so … Continue reading “Amy Nicole Studio – Patti Pocket Skirt with theDelhiStore”
I know we are all dying for spring to get here, but a good majority of people probably still have some cold days ahead. So I’m really excited to share my last cozy makes with you to help you last through until it’s officially warm every day. Indiesew recently released the “No Sweat” Pants with their Seamly Spring Collection. These … Continue reading “No Sweat Pants + Blackwood Cardigan”
I have been wanting to make leggings for a while now, but a lot of people in the sewing community seem pretty skeptical about leggings patterns. There are a few that people have told me patterns that they love, but an almost equal amount of people who have decided to stick to buying RTW leggings. I wanted to try making … Continue reading “Helen’s Closet – Avery Leggings with Pine Crest Fabrics”
