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”
I made this Tazzy T-Shirt quite a while ago…at the beginning of June to be exact. I turned out SO cute, but we were in the middle of a lot of house projects, and I only wore it once before it was too warm to wear. I’m very excited to share it now though, especially since we’re in the 60-70s … Continue reading “Tazzy T-Shirt”
The Roscoe Blouse (up to 59.5″ hip) is one of the patterns that I’ve experimented with the most, over the years. When I made it in a cotton ikat for the first time, the designer, Kelli, let me know that it would be pretty big and blousy if the fabric didn’t have a lot of drape (like rayon), and she … Continue reading “Roscoe Blouse + Saturday Shorts”
If you saw the Free Range Slacks that I made a few months ago, don’t panic, these are not those! This is the same Free Range Slacks pattern by Sew House 7 (up to 65″ hip) though. The pattern pieces for this pattern were smaller than my other shorts pattern, which meant I could more easily play pattern Tetris (AKA … Continue reading “Free Range Shorts”
I’m still playing a little bit of catch up with the things I’ve sewn and thought it would be fun to share the two dresses that I sewed for Vanessa last month. Her birthday is in July, so I sewed the peach-colored eyelet dress for her and finished it just in time! I used some fabric that I got at … Continue reading “Little Girl Dresses”
Hi friends! It’s been a while! We’ve had lots of family visiting and lots of house projects going on over the past two months, and I did not have the mental capacity to blog (or find a new place to take pictures). So, I allowed myself to take a break, and it was great. But I’m excited to back sharing … Continue reading “Faux Leather Hudson Pants”
Sometimes I make the same pattern multiple times and then try to decide if it’s worth blogging about. Then I remember that this is The Sewing Things Blog and that I just sew the things that I love. And if I love them, then I will probably make them multiple times. And if anything, you’ll see the same pattern sewn … Continue reading “Marlo Sweater Obsession”
I feel like I always have in the back of my mind how long it’s taken me to use a fabric and pattern that I’ve had for a really long time. I bought this fabric in 2018 to make this exact shirt, then I bought the pattern for it in 2020, and then again in 2021 on accident because procrastination … Continue reading “Thread Theory Olya Shirt”
I had a major itch to have some better pants to wear and that kicked my butt into gear to sew these Free Range Slacks. I saw some really cute denim elastic waisted pants on Candace M. Read last October, and knew I had to recreate something similar. Out of the few pants patterns that I’ve made so far, the … Continue reading “Denim Free Range Slacks”
Hi friends! Does this look familiar? If it does, it’s because I made a VERY similar one two months ago and was a bit disappointed with how it turned out. This is my second, much more successful attempt at making the sherpa teddy coat that Madewell came out with in 2018. Below you can see my Madewell inspiration in the … Continue reading “Esme Cardigan – Sherpa Teddy Coat REDO”
