Not very many things beat a good t-shirt and shorts combo, and I’m so happy now to have these two new garments to add to my summer lineup. I’ve been on the hunt for good basic style shorts for a while, and I think I’ve found them! These are the Lore Piar Essential Shorts (sizes up to 58″ waist & … Continue reading “Lore Piar – Essential Shorts”
I am SO excited to share my Fairmount Shacket by Hey June Handmade (sizes 35-63″ hip). I immediately bought this fabric after seeing this pattern release at the end of 2021. I didn’t get around to sewing it last year, but I’m so glad to have made it now! My inspiration for this was a wool shacket from Ba&Sh that … Continue reading “Fairmount Shacket & Sweater Mashup”
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”
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”
[Willamette Shirt sizes up to 48″ bust, 50″ hip. Carolyn Pajamas Top sizes up to 46″ bust, 48″ hip] I want to preface this by saying that I made this same mashup exactly 2 years ago in August 2019, and I find that really funny. You can check out that blog post here to see how that attempt went. I … Continue reading “Carolyn PJ Top + Willamette Shirt Mashup Update”
While I was going through my scraps a few months ago, I realized that a few of my ikat fabrics went really well together! I love this fabric way too much to just throw it into a scrap bin, and after seeing other sewists making scrappy tops, I knew I had to make one. I committed to it a week … Continue reading “Hey June – Key Largo Top (Patchwork)”
I know that I’m a broken record when it comes to this pattern, but I thought since it was Hey June…June (haha) I would share about my first time making the Union St Tee, because it’s a story that I don’t think a lot of people here know. My first time making the Union St Tee by Hey June was … Continue reading “Throwback to My First Indie Pattern – Union St Tee”
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.

I’ve sewn a lot of dresses over the years, and they are what I dream about in my sleep. But to be honest — I am not fancy. I’m 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”
When I was fabric shopping in LA in May, I saw this gorgeous linen blend fabric and immediately thought of a shirt on my Pinterst board that I wanted to recreate (inspiration photo below, via Damsel in Dior). At first, I thought I would take it easy and just make a Willamette Shirt, but the more I looked at my … Continue reading “Willamette + Carolyn Mashup”
