The heat has been unrelenting, so I’ve accepted the fact that I’m probably going to be wearing tank tops for another month or two. Which gives me the excuse to make a few more! I’ve been really wanting to make the [free] Orchard Top & Dress by Helen’s Closet. Which I keep wanting to call the Orchid, but I have … Continue reading “Orchard Top (Free Pattern)”
The week before our Denmark vacation, I had the sudden urge to make a bag for my MIL, but it quickly turned in to a “if you give a mouse a cookie” situation. Because if I made one for my mother-in-law (MIL) I also needed to make one for my sister-in-law (SIL) who was having a birthday at the end … Continue reading “Made Belt Bag”
I’ve had this saved to my drafts for way too long, so it’s now or never! But I love it so much, and here it is. I’m excited to finally share about my Sewlala Neve Tee! I made the sweater version last year, and I love the fit. The pattern is so versatile, and I’m hoping to make the zip-up … Continue reading “Sewlala Neve Tee”

This bag was a very spontaneous make from a few of weeks ago. We eat lunch at a brunch cafe nearby, and one of the employees who works there was always so nice, and we’ve chatted a few times. Then, on one of the days we went, she said the next day would be her last day because she was … Continue reading “Drawstring Tote – Wholecloth”
I’m so excited to share my most recent work of art and to share the new Clara Shorts pattern by my friend Susana of Suco by Susana. I know she has put so much work into this pattern, and I was so glad that I could help test the pattern. Susana is Portuguese, and you can buy her patterns in … Continue reading “Clara Shorts – Suco by Susana”
We are at the tail end of a heatwave here in Portugal, and last week was kind of a doozy. But luckily, I made so many nice tank tops over the past few months and was prepared! I always feel weird making a whole new blog post for patterns that I’ve already made, so this is a round-up of tank … Continue reading “Inevitable Repeats: Tank Tops”
This isn’t the first time I’ve shown off my new Elbe Textiles Weiland Tank, but this is the official blog post for it! I wasn’t really sure about it when I first finished it and tried it on, but I’ve already worn it multiple times, and it’s so comfortable and nice to wear. I originally planned to wear it with … Continue reading “Weiland Tank – Elbe Textiles”
It’s a lot warmer here in the Lisbon area, and it made me realize that I need to blog about this cardigan before it’s completely unseasonal. Although, I think we’re already to that point. I have been sewing a lot of Sewlala patterns lately because I have been testing her patterns, and I’ve really like them! The Paula Top & … Continue reading “Sewlala – Paula Cardigan”
I had grand plans to sew this set for our family cruise vacation last year, but I was only able to cut it out and ran out of time to sew it. Then, when we got back from the cruise, I took a very long break from sewing …then it was winter. So I didn’t have a lot of motivation … Continue reading “Matching Beach Set”
