I finished sewing a few tees last December, and at around 15 weeks pregnant, I realized I was going to need some more comfortable pants to get me through since me and maternity jeans don’t really get along. I already had a two pairs of Hudsons (black and grey), but I really wanted an olive green pair and another black … Continue reading “Maternity Capsule Wardrobe”
Hey friends! I haven’t posted anything here since October?! Well, now you can probably see why! 😉 I am currently 18 weeks pregnant, and we moved to Washington state (hence all of the pine trees). I was really sick all through November and December, plus we had to pack up our entire house before taking off to visit our extended … Continue reading “Sinclair Patterns – Joanne Faux Wrap Dress”
If you’ve followed what I’ve made lately, you know that I’ve been favoring the more over-sized garments. I honestly just really like things that don’t cling to me, and since my body runs warm, I tend to get hot/sweaty easily (tmi?). Even as I look at my fabric stash, every project I have planned is over-sized (at least for the … Continue reading “Sew DIY – Lou Box Dress 1, Crinkle Rayon”

I am a huge fan of French Navy patterns after making The Stellan Tee and The Orla Dress (both FREE patterns!), so I was completely on board to buy this one. I recently made the Stellan Tee again (with some adjustments), and tried to make it look like the tees from Madewell or this tee from Abercrombie, but didn’t come … Continue reading “French Navy – The Astair Tee”
I snagged the Allegro pattern from Love Notions a couple months ago with the intent of making this exact skirt, and I’m SO glad that I did! This was my first time using a Love Notions pattern, and I’m happy with it! The pattern includes pant, shorts, and skirt options. My skirt was inspired by this skirt (below) that I … Continue reading “Love Notions – Allegro Skirt”
About a year ago when the new ‘ask me any question’ thing came out on Instagram Stories, I tried it out and was surprised to have people mostly interested in my machines. I should have written this post a long time ago, but I have learned so much in the last year, so better now than never! I currently have … Continue reading “My Machines”
I’m coming at you today, writing this blog post wearing my new jeans!! I am still slightly in shock that I actually did it and that they fit! These are the Mid-Rise Ginger Jeans by Closet Case Patterns. I made a straight size 12 with no adjustments, except that I cut 2″ off of the hem when I was all … Continue reading “Closet Coreo Ginger Jeans & True Bias Roscoe Blouse”
I am way overdue on making another Willamette after making my first one in February of last year. My first one was view C, and I made it out of a cotton/linen that was borderline too thick. I lengthened it by 3″, but with mid-rise pants, it still just wasn’t quite long enough for my liking. So I knew for … Continue reading “Hey June – Willamette Shirt”
Hi all! I am so excited to share my favorite knit fabric today! Striped tees and dresses are my love language, and if they happen to be black and white – I fall head over heels. When I saw Heidi (@handmadefrenzy) make a bunch of tops out of the white fabric with black stripes a few months ago, I was seriously … Continue reading “Stripes + Basics with D&H Fabrics Co.”
