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 “Sew Liberated – 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 “Hey June – Seaforth Pants (Tapered Leg)”
It seems like every time I write a blog post it always starts with how long I have waited to finally make something — but by some miracle, I actually bought both this pattern and fabric just in the past few months! Hooray! The Marlo Sweater is a new pattern by True Bias. It’s an oversized style cardigan/sweater, which is … Continue reading “Marlo Sweater – Two Ways”
I just want to start out by sharing that I bought this fabric in November 2018. Shortly afterwards, in January 2019 I went ahead and bought this pattern… It’s April 2021, ya’ll! The last time I had made anything like this was in October 2016 when I made the Lonetree Jacket. That jacket took a lot of work, and I … Continue reading “Tello Jacket”
I finished updating my favorite t-shirt patterns blog post and realized that I had left out a few patterns that I really love. So, here I am again with a little a little bit of a different favorites list. I love that drop shoulder sleeves provide a looser fit and aren’t so tight around the underarm area. Drop shoulder sleeves … Continue reading “My Favorite Drop Shoulder T-Shirt Patterns”
The Page Hoodie came out at the beginning of last year when I was super pregnant with Vanessa, and I loved it SO much. I’ve wanted to make it ever since, and I am happy to say I have not only made it once, but twice! The first Page I made was out of a gray french terry that I … Continue reading “Pink Loungewear Ft. Page Hoodie + Hudson Pants”
Hey friends! I haven’t posted anything here since October?! Well, now you can probably see why! 😉 I am currently 18 weeks pregnant, and we moved to Washington state (hence all of the pine trees). I was really sick all through November and December, plus we had to pack up our entire house before taking off to visit our extended … Continue reading “Joanne Faux Wrap Dress”
If you’ve followed what I’ve made lately, you know that I’ve been favoring the more over-sized garments. I honestly just really like things that don’t cling to me, and since my body runs warm, I tend to get hot/sweaty easily (tmi?). Even as I look at my fabric stash, every project I have planned is over-sized (at least for the … Continue reading “Lou Box Dress 1 + Crinkle Rayon”
I feel extremely lucky to a part of the Style Maker Fabrics Fall Style Tour again! My first time was in 2017, and I felt lucky back then, too! Style Maker Fabrics has such an amazing variety of fabrics this season, and I’m completely convinced that I grabbed the best two. Fabric Details For those of you who have sewn … Continue reading “Style Maker Fabrics Fall Style Tour 2019”
I am a huge fan of French Navy patterns after making The Stellan Tee and The Orla Dress (both FREE patterns!), so I was completely on board to buy this one. I recently made the Stellan Tee again (with some adjustments), and tried to make it look like the tees from Madewell or this tee from Abercrombie, but didn’t come … Continue reading “The Astair Tee”
