Hi friends! Okay, I want to preface this by saying that if you really want to make a coat like this and/or use this fabric, you need to read the tips in this post so you can avoid making the same mistakes that I did. I LOVE how this coat turned out, but it isn’t perfect, as you will soon … Continue reading “Esme Cardigan – Sherpa Teddy Coat”
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 “Halifax Hoodie”
You might be wondering why I named this ‘part 1’. It’s because I have a few sweaters to share, but I didn’t want to have to write separate blog posts for them, since I’ve made them all before. Plus, all of these sweaters are made from fabric that I got from one fabric store, so grouping them together made sense. … Continue reading “Sweater Weather – Part 1”
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 “Brunswick Pullover”
I’m back at it with the second button up Roscoe Blouse that I really wanted to finish before moving onto some fall sewing. I loved my first short sleeved version, so I really wanted to try a shirred short sleeve, similar to the one I saw Alexis @mysweetsunshine make. If you’re wondering how I made the Roscoe into a button … Continue reading “Roscoe Blouse (Button Up + Short Shirred Sleeves)”
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”
Do you have a pattern that you’ve had for a long time (years) and just can’t decide if you want to make it or not? That’s how the Matcha Top by Sew Liberated has been for me. I really love the boho vibes, the neckline/collar, and the shape, but something about it has just made me go back and forth … Continue reading “Matcha Top”
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 “Seaforth Pants – Tapered Leg”
