I am finally getting to the point that I’ve sewn most of the fabrics that I bought 4-5 years ago. This fabric is one that I bought online from Style Maker when we were living is San Francisco… 4 years ago! It feels like multiple lifetimes ago. I bought it when I wasn’t super familiar with different fabrics, and when … Continue reading “Kalle Shirt in Crinkle Rayon Crepe”
I have really enjoyed making tops lately, and have been thrilled with how they’ve turned out. But this shirt was on a whole new level, because I have had this fabric since June of last year, and have dreamed about it since January 2019 when Carole Rankin posted her Roscoe Blouse made with this fabric. So I was all squeals … Continue reading “Roscoe Blouse [Button Up, Short Sleeved]”
[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”
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”
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)”
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”
This is the Mira Dress by Fibre Mood, and I love it! I even loved it so much that I made another one that you can see down below. I bought the pattern when Fibre Mood wasn’t including seam allowances, and I thought my brains were going to explode, but thankfully Fibre Mood has added the seam allowances now, so … Continue reading “Mira Dresses”
Hey friends! I haven’t posted anything here since October?! Well, now you can probably see why! 😉 I am currently 18 weeks pregnant, and we moved to Washington state (hence all of the pine trees). I was really sick all through November and December, plus we had to pack up our entire house before taking off to visit our extended … Continue reading “Joanne Faux Wrap Dress”
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”
I feel like I have had the inspiration for this dress (shown below) on my Pinterest board for an eternity, but it’s probably only been a couple of years. The inspiration dress is from the blog Polienne, and it’s a vintage dress that she found at a thrift store. Polien is a style & travel blogger from Belgium, and I … Continue reading “Shelby Dress”
