I’m so excited to share today’s makes. I have not been able to get this look out of my head, and I kept pinning outfits just like it. It feels good to finally make it and wear it! Below are a few photos from my Pinterest boards. I love the look and feel of this outfit. The oversized blue and … Continue reading “Viki Sews Cynthia Blouse & Beige Slacks”
I definitely missed the “Barbie core” craze last year, but I was still just as excited to sew this hot pink shirt. My inspiration was the Fushia Maxence Shirt from Sezane. Theirs is made with silk, which drapes a lot better, but I wasn’t worried about that detail. I liked the fit and color the most, so this turned out … Continue reading “Coralie Bijasson – Effigie Shirt”
I think this just might be one of the coolest things that I’ve ever made. I found this fabric on the Divazus website a few months ago when I was looking for unique animal prints. I fell in love with this large Panther print right away. I thought it was really cool but also…borderline terrifying. The coolness outweighed the terrifying, … Continue reading “Daughter Judy – Genra Shirt”
When I put this shirt on after I finished it, my husband told me it was “very me”. Which is a good thing to hear after spending three days making something. This is my third Olya Shirt (by Paper Theory, sizes 31.5-56″ bust) and for a $20 pattern, I’m getting my money’s worth out of it. Lol. I really loved … Continue reading “Paper Theory – Olya Shirt in Pink Stripes”
If you haven’t realized by now that this is a Roscoe Blouse fan page, then you haven’t been paying attention. 😉 I bought this cool double ikat cotton fabric from Fabriclore last July, and I thought I wanted to make a classic button up shirt with it. But then I made 2 other classic button ups in almost the exact … Continue reading “True Bias – Roscoe Blouse with Button Front”
This may seem like a very unseasonal sewing project, but I finished it over a month ago and actually got to wear it a couple of times before it got too chilly. Also – huge shocker – this is the first dress that I’ve sewn for myself in over 3 years! I got a little bit burned out from making … Continue reading “Itch to Stitch – Bonn Dress (Sleeveless)”
After getting used to using translating apps and beginning to learn a new language, sewing a pattern entirely in French sounded like a challenge I was ready for (even if that is not the language I’m learning). This is the Nusch Blouse (sizes from 86-100cm hip) by Bertina Paris. It’s an absolutely gorgeous pattern, but the sizing isn’t inclusive. I … Continue reading “Bertina Paris – Nusch Blouse”
I’m very excited to share my first make since moving to Portugal! We’ve been here for almost 2 months, but I needed some time to get settled and to wait until things were less chaotic. A few weeks after we got here, the French fabric company, Madame Iris, reached out to me and asked if I wanted to help showcase … Continue reading “Madame Iris Fabric & Olivia Button Up”
After years and years of seeing so many amazing Archer shirts made my other sewists, I have finally made my own! This is a very popular pattern in the sewing community because it’s such a great classic tailored shirt. The pattern is by Grainline Studio and has sizes ranging from 35-61″ hip. I have a really cool RTW button up … Continue reading “Grainline – Archer Shirt”
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”
