I made my first Bonn Dress last May, and when I tried it on, I knew I had to make the shirt version too. The v-neck mandarin collar is so classic, and the fit is seriously perfect. For any beginner shirt sewists out there, this is a really good pattern to start with. The pattern designer made sure to add … Continue reading “Bonn Shirt + #sewrtwstyle”
When I was pregnant with my son, around two and a half years ago, I bought a big, long boxy tee (I think it’s actually a dress? *cringe*) from H&M and I have worn it almost every week since. It worked well for when I was super pregnant, and worked great as part of my transition wardrobe while I was … Continue reading “Santa Fe – Boxy Top”
Today on the Hey June Blog I am sharing how to make the Key Largo pattern into a button up by adding a placket to the center front! I love the button up blouse trend and also love seeing fun details like added trims to make the garment more unique. My inspiration image from Take Aim (below) has been pinned to … Continue reading “Button Up Key Largo – Adding Trim”
The Fulton Sweater Blazer is another one of the patterns I bought during it’s release week because it was just too good!! Alina knocks it out of the park with all of her patterns, and they are all perfect basics for anyone’s wardrobe. I knew the Fulton was another great pattern since so many people already made it and have been … Continue reading “Fulton Sweater Blazer”
There are few patterns that I buy immediately on release day, but the Perkins Shirt by Ensemble Patterns was one of them. When I saw it, I immediately thought of this shirt on my Pinterest board (which may or may not have been her inspiration, who knows), and I had to have it. But first, let’s talk about this tencel shirting (sold … Continue reading “Perkins Shirt”
Most of the things I’ve been making lately have been on my list for so long, but I can honestly say that I didn’t really plan on making the Mandy Boat Tee (FREE PDF pattern!) until a few months ago when I heard on the Love To Sew Podcast that the hosts, Caroline and Helen, really like it. I looked up #mandyboattee … Continue reading “Mandy Boat Tee – Navigating the New Sizes”
I was in love with the Nikko Top by True Bias when it was released and I had this exact version (short sleeved) in my head. I was nervous to make it, though, because I completely hated turtlenecks when I was little. I also don’t really like things around my neck most of the time, except for some necklaces, and I … Continue reading “Nikko Top”
I have once again made a pattern that has been on my make list for a very long time now! And, since this is apparently The Year of the Buttons for me, the Kalle Shirt was high up on my list. This is another Closet Case Files pattern, just like my Carolyn Pajama Top from last month. The pattern has a high-low … Continue reading “Kalle Shirt”
Has everyone else been dying over the pajama top trend lately?! I LOVE the look styled with jeans. I’ll be honest that I don’t really dig it with matching PJ pants, but the tops separately is gorgeous. I love the piping and curved lapels, and I really don’t see how I could sleep in something so pretty! (Unless I was … Continue reading “Carolyn Top with D+H Fabrics Co”
I bought some fabric to make Dallas a shirt around 3 years ago, and it has been sitting at the bottom of my stash ever since …haunting me. Haha. I figured that I had put it off long enough, and I really wanted to try the Strathcona Henley ever since I discovered Thread Theory towards the end of last year. … Continue reading “Strathcona Henley”
