I’ve been wanting to make a cardigan like this since the day Treasure posted this photo in 2020. I have seriously had it saved that long, and have just been agonizing over what fabric and pattern to use. So ridiculous. And before I continue, Treasure is the most amazing person and bag maker with the best style. She’s been growing … Continue reading “Double Gauze Esme Cardigan”
After years and years of seeing so many amazing Archer shirts made my other sewists, I have finally made my own! This is a very popular pattern in the sewing community because it’s such a great classic tailored shirt. The pattern is by Grainline Studio and has sizes ranging from 35-61″ hip. I have a really cool RTW button up … Continue reading “Grainline – Archer Shirt”
I had to make one last winter garment before diving into my spring makes, and this Marlo Sweater was it! I’ve made the Marlo Sweater by True Bias 3 times for myself and 2 times for other people. That’s how much I love it. I was so inspired by others’ cropped black cardigans, and I decided that it would be … Continue reading “True Bias – Marlo Sweater in Black”
I am SO excited to share my Fairmount Shacket by Hey June Handmade (sizes 35-63″ hip). I immediately bought this fabric after seeing this pattern release at the end of 2021. I didn’t get around to sewing it last year, but I’m so glad to have made it now! My inspiration for this was a wool shacket from Ba&Sh that … Continue reading “Fairmount Shacket & Sweater Mashup”
I did it! I sewed a coat with a lining! This feels like a huge milestone and I’m still kind of amazed that it worked. I’ve had this fabric for an entire year and decided to not put off sewing it any longer. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might remember my wool Fulton Sweater Blazer … Continue reading “Pona Jacket with Lining & Waist Tie”
It took me years to work up the courage to make my first Olya Shirt (up to 57.5 hip), and I finally made it in August of last year. I just dove right in and didn’t make any alterations to the pattern, and it still turned out great. I loved making it, and when I was finished, I wanted to … Continue reading “Paper Theory – Olya Shirt in Evergreen Twill”
I’ve made the Free Range Slacks so many times now that I’m starting to feel like a broken record. But at least that’s a good sign that I really love them! …Or a sign that I need to not be so afraid of trying to sew other pants patterns. Haha. You can be the judge. If you are interested in … Continue reading “Sew House 7 – Free Range Slacks in Black”
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 “Lore Piar – 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 “True Bias Roscoe Blouse + EA Sews Saturday Shorts”
