I did it! I sewed a coat with a lining! This feels like a huge milestone and I’m still kind of amazed that it worked. I’ve had this fabric for an entire year and decided to not put off sewing it any longer. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might remember my wool Fulton Sweater Blazer … Continue reading “Pona Jacket with Lining & Waist Tie”
It took me years to work up the courage to make my first Olya Shirt (up to 57.5 hip), and I finally made it in August of last year. I just dove right in and didn’t make any alterations to the pattern, and it still turned out great. I loved making it, and when I was finished, I wanted to … Continue reading “Paper Theory – Olya Shirt”
I haven’t sewn a single thing since the end of September, right before we went to Portugal. The holidays were a lot more hectic and exhausting than I though they would be, so I’m very relieved to have made it past everything and to be starting the new year. I was feeling so anxious about sewing again, so I just … Continue reading “Vintage McCalls 7939”
I’ve made the Free Range Slacks so many times now that I’m starting to feel like a broken record. But at least that’s a good sign that I really love them! …Or a sign that I need to not be so afraid of trying to sew other pants patterns. Haha. You can be the judge. If you are interested in … Continue reading “Sew House 7 – Free Range Slacks in Black”
I have been trying to get my hands on this vintage Butterick pattern (6531) for literally years, and I finally found a copy of it on Etsy a few months ago! I had been looking for it ever since Jasika Nicole posted her version — which is probably why it’s been so popular, and I haven’t been able to find … Continue reading “Vintage Butterick 6531”
This is the outfit I was most excited to finish before our trip to Portugal, and I finished it just in time! We ended up getting covid a few days after we were there, so we didn’t get to explore as much as we had hoped, but we still really loved it there. Here are a few photos from our … Continue reading “Roscoe Blouse – Mandarin Collar + Elastic Sleeves”
I made this Tazzy T-Shirt quite a while ago…at the beginning of June to be exact. I turned out SO cute, but we were in the middle of a lot of house projects, and I only wore it once before it was too warm to wear. I’m very excited to share it now though, especially since we’re in the 60-70s … Continue reading “Lore Piar – Tazzy T-Shirt”
The Roscoe Blouse (up to 59.5″ hip) is one of the patterns that I’ve experimented with the most, over the years. When I made it in a cotton ikat for the first time, the designer, Kelli, let me know that it would be pretty big and blousy if the fabric didn’t have a lot of drape (like rayon), and she … Continue reading “True Bias Roscoe Blouse + EA Sews Saturday Shorts”
If you saw the Free Range Slacks that I made a few months ago, don’t panic, these are not those! This is the same Free Range Slacks pattern by Sew House 7 (up to 65″ hip) though. The pattern pieces for this pattern were smaller than my other shorts pattern, which meant I could more easily play pattern Tetris (AKA … Continue reading “Sew House 7 – Free Range Shorts”
I’m still playing a little bit of catch up with the things I’ve sewn and thought it would be fun to share the two dresses that I sewed for Vanessa last month. Her birthday is in July, so I sewed the peach-colored eyelet dress for her and finished it just in time! I used some fabric that I got at … Continue reading “Little Girl Dresses”
