It’s been a minute since I’ve made a knit t-shirt! I used to have a shirt I loved that was a cinnamon color, but it got a little too small on me. So, when I ordered this cotton/spandex fabric, I was hoping it would be a little bit browner and closer to cinnamon, but the color is “rust” so it’s … Continue reading “Tank and Tee in Cotton/Spandex”
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”
I’ve gone down the elastic waistband rabbit hole, and since I wanted pants that I didn’t have to fix the rise on, I decided to try out the Seaforth Pants by Hey June. These are true mid-rise, right where I like them! I was actually a little nervous about making them, but then I got together with Karen (@intostitches) a … Continue reading “Hey June – Seaforth Pants (Tapered Leg)”
I decided I needed a nursing friendly house dress at around 7 months pregnant. I still had plenty of my favorite knit fabric left over from the LA fabric district and black 12″ invisible zippers, so I got right to it! This is the Santa Fe Top by Hey June lengthened to be a dress (no maternity adjustments). I love … Continue reading “Nursing Friendly House Dress”
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”
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”
When I was pregnant with my son, around two and a half years ago, I bought a big, long boxy tee (I think it’s actually a dress? *cringe*) from H&M and I have worn it almost every week since. It worked well for when I was super pregnant, and worked great as part of my transition wardrobe while I was … Continue reading “Hey June – Santa Fe, Boxy Top”
Today on the Hey June Blog I am sharing how to make the Key Largo pattern into a button up by adding a placket to the center front! I love the button up blouse trend and also love seeing fun details like added trims to make the garment more unique. My inspiration image from Take Aim (below) has been pinned to … Continue reading “Hey June – Key Largo, Button-Up and Trim”
I’m so excited to share this dress today because it turned out exactly that way I hoped! Don’t you love when that happens? I used 3 different patterns to make this ‘frankenpattern’ dress (fitting since it’s almost Halloween!). This dress was inspired by a dress I pinned years ago (photo below), and when I saw this fabric I knew it … Continue reading “Ace&Jig Inspired Dress”
I have been meaning to make this dress and write this blog post for…lots of months now, and I’m so excited to finally share it! After making the adjustments I needed to, this Charleston Dress fits like a GLOVE! I was so giddy with excitement when I was all done, and it fit so well. Most rewarding thing about sewing, … Continue reading “Hey June – Charleston Dress [low bust adjustment]”
