I’ve had plans to make the Duplantier Dress (sizes up to 58.5″ bust & 60″ hip) since the pattern was released in 2022, but I think because of the princess seams, I put it off for as long as possible. I’ve already conquered altering princess seams for my low bust, but I think I just wasn’t up for the extra … Continue reading “Elbe Textiles – Duplantier Dress (Low Bust Adjustment Tutorial)”
This is my 4th time making the Wholecloth Patterns Tether Pouch, so I thought now would be a good time to share my latest two. Since I’m new to bag sewing, I think I’m still trying get the hang of certain things before moving on to others. But also, these little zipper bags are so useful and cute, and I … Continue reading “Wholecloth Patterns – Tether Pouch 2.0”
This is your friendly reminder to start sewing those dresses so they can be worn all summer long! This is the third Janie Dress (sizes: 6mo – 12yrs) that I’ve made for Vanessa, and she LOVES it. She wears these dresses anytime they’re clean, and I love watching her walk down the sidewalk and then randomly twirl. She even does … Continue reading “Janie Dress Love”

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’ve had good intentions of sewing a tote for the beach ever since we moved to Portugal last summer, but I didn’t get around to it before winter. This is the Sun Tote by Chalk + Notch and it’s a FREE pattern if you sign up for their newsletter. I used a heavy weight cotton denim from Divazus. I don’t … Continue reading “Chalk + Notch – Sun Tote”
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”
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”
Hello friends! I’m back with the last of my bag making spree, (for now). These cute zipper bags are the Tether Pouch by Wholecloth (both in the medium size) that I made for my two kids. I’ve been eyeing the pattern ever since Kristi released it, but when I signed up to make the new Fairmount Bag, I decided to … Continue reading “Wholecloth Patterns Tether Pouch”
Wholecloth released the Fairmount Bag last week, and I was so happy to be one of the people to test the pattern. I don’t do pattern testing very much anymore, but when I saw the Fairmount Bag, I really wanted to make it. I’m signed up to get the newsletter from Caroline of Un-Fancy, and back in December she shared … Continue reading “Wholecloth Patterns – Fairmount Bag”
