This bag was a very spontaneous make from a few of weeks ago. We eat lunch at a brunch cafe nearby, and one of the employees who works there was always so nice, and we’ve chatted a few times. Then, on one of the days we went, she said the next day would be her last day because she was … Continue reading “Drawstring Tote – Wholecloth”
I’m so excited to share my most recent work of art and to share the new Clara Shorts pattern by my friend Susana of Suco by Susana.

We are at the tail end of a heatwave here in Portugal, and last week was kind of a doozy. But luckily, I made so many nice tank tops over the past few months and was prepared! I always feel weird making a whole new blog post for patterns that I’ve already made, so this is a round-up of tank … Continue reading “Inevitable Repeats: Tank Tops”
This isn’t the first time I’ve shown off my new Elbe Textiles Weiland Tank, but this is the official blog post for it!

I originally planned to wear it with … Continue reading “Weiland Tank – Elbe Textiles”

I have been sewing a lot of Sewlala patterns lately because I have been testing her patterns, and I’ve really like them! The Paula Top & … Continue reading “Sewlala – Paula Cardigan”

I had fun coming up with new combinations and got inspiration from a few different looks that I had saved to my Pinterest board. I think I missed 4-5 days from being sick or not feeling … Continue reading “Me Made May 2026”
I’ve been meaning to blog about the Sommar Camisole for months, but then I just kept making more of them, so I figured I would wait. But this week is “Sommar Camisole Week” with Paradise Patterns, and the designer, Sanna, is doing a giveaway for everyone who post about theirs on Instagram. So, I figured I would finally write this … Continue reading “Paradise Patterns – Sommar Camisole”
I am SO excited to share my newest bag that I am so in love with. That sounds like I’m exaggerating, but I am so thrilled with how it turned out, which is way better than I imagined.

Happy new year! I’m not usually a person who makes grand resolutions for the year, but I always like the time to reflect on what’s working and what could change a little bit. It’s always interesting to look over my personal “analytics” of what I did this year, and this year I definitely noticed some changes about halfway through the … Continue reading “2025 Reflections – Sewing and Other Things”
