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’m so excited to share this dress today because it turned out exactly that way I hoped! Don’t you love when that happens? I used 3 different patterns to make this ‘frankenpattern’ dress (fitting since it’s almost Halloween!). This dress was inspired by a dress I pinned years ago (photo below), and when I saw this fabric I knew it … Continue reading “Ace&Jig Inspired Dress”
If you can’t already tell — I LOVE this dress! I made a dress really similar to this one last fall (McCalls 7534), and I’m not sure if people were huge fans of it. It might have been because the fabric I chose was pretty bright, but that’s okay, because I STILL love that dress! I was excited to make … Continue reading “Magnolia Dress by Deer and Doe”
I am so excited to share what Sara from The Sara Project and I have been working on for the last few months! We are hosting a Hinterland Sew-Off! We wanted to team up and do something fun that would include the sewing community and get everyone excited to make a pattern together. The Hinterland Dress by Sew Liberated was the … Continue reading “Hinterland Dress + Sew-Off Announcement!”
I have been meaning to make this dress and write this blog post for…lots of months now, and I’m so excited to finally share it! After making the adjustments I needed to, this Charleston Dress fits like a GLOVE! I was so giddy with excitement when I was all done, and it fit so well. Most rewarding thing about sewing, … Continue reading “Charleston Dress [low bust adjustment]”
I first discovered the Reeta Midi Shirt Dress by Named a few months ago. I think I was searching for button up dress patterns because…I’m a little obsessed over here if you haven’t noticed. 😉 The pattern came out last February, so I don’t know how I missed it! Once I found it, I looked up the hashtag in Instagram … Continue reading “Reeta Shirt Dress”
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”
I have wanted to make the Bonn Dress by Itch to Stitch ever since it was part of the Indiesew Fall/Winter Collection in 2016. That was back when I was still really intimidated by button up shirts, so I figured it would be a while until I actually made it. I have heard SO many good things about Itch to … Continue reading “Bonn Dress”
