I had a major itch to have some better pants to wear and that kicked my butt into gear to sew these Free Range Slacks. I saw some really cute denim elastic waisted pants on Candace M. Read last October, and knew I had to recreate something similar. Out of the few pants patterns that I’ve made so far, the … Continue reading “Sew House 7 – Free Range Slacks in Denim”
Hi friends! Does this look familiar? If it does, it’s because I made a VERY similar one two months ago and was a bit disappointed with how it turned out. This is my second, much more successful attempt at making the sherpa teddy coat that Madewell came out with in 2018. Below you can see my Madewell inspiration in the … Continue reading “Named Esme Cardigan – Sherpa Teddy Coat REDO”
I haven’t sewn a dress in almost two years. That seems crazy when I think about how many dresses and skirts that I sewed when I first learned to sew. I made so many favorites though, and it makes me smile when I see my closet full of pretty dresses that I MADE. In the spirit of slow fashion and … Continue reading “Dresses for Valentine’s”
This might be a longer post, but I’m hoping that it’s a really helpful one. I am SO excited to finally share my Sienna Maker Jacket (pattern by Closet Core – PDF / Printed)! I started this jacket at a retreat that I went to back in October, but my stay was cut a day short, so I didn’t quite … Continue reading “Closet Core Sienna Maker Jacket + Retreat at Makers Hideaway”
*Important Update* – I have made this coat again and it turned out MUCH better, so after reading this post make sure to check out the new one. Hi friends! Okay, I want to preface this by saying that if you really want to make a coat like this and/or use this fabric, you need to read the tips in … Continue reading “Named Esme Cardigan – Sherpa Teddy Coat”
This is a very late blog post and I will try my best to include all of the information that I usually do, but I made this 2+ years ago. In October 2021, I made my family dinosaur hoodies for Halloween, and I apparently never blogged about it! I did post it on Instagram, but a blog post wasn’t on … Continue reading “Hey June – Halifax Hoodie”
Hi friends! Well, I promised a part 2, and here it is! If you missed Part 1, you can read that post by clicking here. Both of these sweaters are the Page Hoodie by Chalk and Notch. The burgundy sweater is view B with the full sleeve, and the cinnamon sweater is view B with the slim sleeve. For both … Continue reading “Sweater Weather – Part 2”
You might be wondering why I named this ‘part 1’. It’s because I have a few sweaters to share, but I didn’t want to have to write separate blog posts for them, since I’ve made them all before. Plus, all of these sweaters are made from fabric that I got from one fabric store, so grouping them together made sense. … Continue reading “Sweater Weather – Part 1”
Hi friends! Today’s make is a very basic, oversized sweatshirt that has been keeping me pretty warm lately. I’ve been wanting to make the Brunswick Pullover by Hey June ever since it was released, and I’m so happy that I finally got around to it. There are a lot of really cute details included in this pattern, but I decided … Continue reading “Hey June – Brunswick Pullover”
I’m back at it with the second button up Roscoe Blouse that I really wanted to finish before moving onto some fall sewing. I loved my first short sleeved version, so I really wanted to try a shirred short sleeve, similar to the one I saw Alexis @mysweetsunshine make. If you’re wondering how I made the Roscoe into a button … Continue reading “Roscoe Blouse (Button Up + Short Shirred Sleeves)”
