I bought these jeans last Thursday from the thrift store. I haven’t been to the thrift store very much since the pandemic started, so when I found these, I didn’t realize that I wouldn’t be able to try them on. I really liked these jeans, so I took a chance and bought them anyways. They are ‘boyfriend’ fit, so they … Continue reading “My First Time Taking In Jeans At The Waist”
After I had Braden and was nursing, I went to Ross and bought a few button up shirts because I didn’t have almost anything nursing friendly. I’ve since gotten rid of most of those shirts, but there was one that I kept because I loved the style and how it fit. Every time I would wear it, it would drive … Continue reading “Bonn Shirt x Key Largo Top Mashup and Pomona Pants”
I’ve sewn a lot of dresses over the years, and they are what I dream about in my sleep. But to be honest ā I am not fancy. Iām a stay at home mom and my daily outfit is a t-shirt and sweats. These are the three t-shirt patterns that I make over and over again. These patterns might not … Continue reading “My 3 Favorite Knit T-Shirt Patterns”
Cotton Modal Jersey Knit (cotton/modal/spandex) I have tried quite a few different types of knit fabrics, and I found a few that I really like for t-shirts. My personal favorite is “cotton modal jersey knit”. This fabric is soft, has great recovery, and has the perfect weight (think: cotton/spandex, but softer and with better drape). I even love the white … Continue reading “My Favorite Knit Fabrics for T-Shirts”
The Page Hoodie came out at the beginning of last year when I was super pregnant with Vanessa, and I loved it SO much. I’ve wanted to make it ever since, and I am happy to say I have not only made it once, but twice! The first Page I made was out of a gray french terry that I … Continue reading “Pink Loungewear Ft. Page Hoodie + Hudson Pants”
The Jarrah Sweater by Megan Nielsen has been on my list ever since it was released, and I finally got around to making it! I made this towards the end of pregnancy, and when October rolled around and temperatures dropped, I realized that I fit into it! Then I wore it for 3 days straight. Haha. This fabric is the … Continue reading “Staying Cozy in the Jarrah Sweater”
This isn’t quite the 30th birthday that I had in mind, but we’re all having different kinds of birthday celebrations this year, aren’t we? I did still get around to making a birthday outfit and I’m really excited to share it! This is my all time favorite t-shirt pattern, the Panama Tee, and New Look 6456, which is a wrap … Continue reading “2020 Birthday Outfit: Panama Tee + Wrap Skirt”
I had a really rough go at my first attempt at the Fennel Fanny Pack by Sarah Kirsten. My frustrations stemmed from using too large of a seam allowance when I sewed the zippers on, and spiraled from there. SO, TAKE NOTE — When you sew the zippers, make sure you try the pieces up to the other pieces that … Continue reading “Fennel Fanny Pack”
This Tropical Shirt (Wardrobe by Me) for Dallas has been cut out and sitting on my ironing board since MAY, and I finally finished it! He’s VERY happy about it, and it turned out great! The pattern and instructions are great, and I didn’t have any issues. I think the next time I make it, I’ll bring the shoulders in … Continue reading “Men’s Tropical Shirt”
This Cris Wood Sews Envelope Dress (zero waste pattern!) didn’t fit very well at 35 weeks pregnant, but it’s perfect now — nursing zipper and all! I used a 14″ zipper, but it definitely didn’t need to be that long for the front center seam (10″ would probably work fine). I just sewed the zipper in first and then did … Continue reading “Envelope Dress (Nursing Friendly)”
